That would have been awesome.... it's a shame our elections are decided by some cockamamie electoral college bullshit instead of just giving it to the person with the most votes. Seems pretty obvious to me. What difference does it make what state I live in when voting in a national election? More Americans wanted her to be president rather than him.... by an enormous margin. Makes no sense.
Except that both candidates - REPEAT, BOTH OF THEM - played by the rules and went after the 18 states that were close. Neither candidate looked to pick up votes in states they had locked in or focused on the popular vote because it NEVER MATTERED.
And in the states where the contest was in doubt, Trump stomped Clinton:
Florida - Trump
North Carolina - Trump
Ohio - Trump
Michigan - Trump
Wisconsin - Trump
Pennsylvania - Trump
Missouri - Trump
Iowa - Trump
Arizona - Trump
Texas - Trump
Utah - Trump
Georgia - Trump
Virginia - Clinton
Colorado - Clinton
Nevada - Clinton
New Mexico - Clinton
Minnesota - Clinton
New Hampshire - Clinton
Trump won 12 of the 18 contested states. That's 2/3 for the math-impaired. He won, won the states he needed plus some, won states he supposedly was not going to win, won the electoral count handily, won rust belt states that Clinton supposedly had locked up, and is the President.
You want to change the rules after your candidate lost, and say popular vote matters. If the popular vote mattered, and if both candidates focused on the popular vote, and if the votes then favored one candidate over another, you would have an argument.
But it doesn't, it never did, neither candidate cared about the popular vote or campaigned to win the popular vote, so your argument is plainly, palpably, inarguably invalid.
