BBC News: Reports " Donald Trump says he could have won the popular vote against Hillary Clinton if he had campaigned differently. "
Lets Get Real:
The electoral college and the popular vote have gone differently twice in the modern era, we recall the 2000 election were Bush 43 won the electoral college but the popular vote went to Vice - President Gore. Thus we have 2016 were Clinton will win the popular vote while Trump gets the Presidency. The founding fathers understood if there was no electoral college the candidates for the Presidency would not move from the popular areas, thus the smaller States would feel left out, thus the college. One can argue that in fact it was the US Supreme Court that gave Bush 43 the White House, that was a first. The Trump Presidency will be interesting, a complex man but intelligent, he is a billionaire. Interesting times ahead.
