text: The majority of states chose Trump.  That is our government, a Constitutional Republic.  To the best of my knowledge the majority of the free world does not choose their President, Prime Minister, etc.... by popular vote.  Those leaders are chosen by the party that controls their legislature or parliament.  
  
  The President is the head of our 50 United States (not regions) and responsible for the execution and enforcement of the laws created by the congressional representatives and senators from each of those 50 states.
  
  It's been a couple weeks since I looked at the numbers, but at the end of November, if you take away California, Trump wins the popular vote.  Mr. Hansen has a point that with a popular vote the west coast (and northeast) would decide elections. In essence the other states wouldn't need to vote because they know what is best for all.  That is mob rule.
