text: Actually Richard, as of Saturday's count (and they're still counting as I write this) Hillary Clinton got 63,390,669 votes to Donald Trump's 61,820,845. That's 1,569,824 more votes for her than for him. The only way that Trump won was because he got help from the Electoral College (it's kind of like Affirmative Action). So if I were you I wouldn't be using your argument too often. 1.6 Million more Americans wanted Hillary Clinton to be president than Trump.
