| h/t Instapundit Final vote tallies from the November 8 election show that Democrat Hillary Clinton out-polled President-elect Donald Trump by 2.8 million votes while losing the contest by a wide margin in the all-important Electoral College. Her upper hand with voters, however, came down to performances in New York and California that were far stronger than necessary. Clinton won California by 4.2 million and took New York by more than 1.6 million. The combined 5.8 million-vote advantage in just those two states was more than twice the size of her overall edge nationwide. When the dust settled, she lost the rest of the country by 3 million votes. |

| #9 The electoral college was created so Philadelphia/New York/Boston could not dictate policy to the proposed thirteen United States. |

| #5 Take out all the fraudulent Dem votes and you probably have Trump winning the popular vote by a large margin. |

| #1 The fact that Hillary had more Electoral College turncoats than Mr. Trump is just beautiful. All those Hollywood pukes can just stuff it...and board a plane to the destination of their choosing (as previousky announced)! |
