Winning popular vote means people 'counted on us,' Clinton says
[Iran Press TV] Democratic presidential candidate  Hillary Clinton... sometimes described as Deplorable, Irredeemableand at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Henry L. Stimson... , who lost the 2016 presidential election in a dramatic shift of events on Tuesday, says the fact that more people have voted for her than her opponent GOP nominee Donald Trump, means that the American people "counted" on her. Addressing her supporters at New Yorker Hotel on Wednesday, the Democratic flag-bearer said she was not trying to "sugarcoat" her loss, urging Democrats to remain "focused on what each of us in our own ways can do to really keep standing up for those values, and doing all that we can do together to represent them." Clinton fell short of 47 electoral votes with 228, compared to Trump who got 279 to become the US president, however, more people narrowly voted for the Democrat to win the popular vote (48 percent to 47 percent).
