More Americans voted for Hillary. You can hold the opinion that this doesn't matter. But you can't hold an opinion that it didn't happen.
To understand why Trump won, look at Democratic hysteria

Of course it doesn't matter. We don't live in a direct democracy. For a very good reason, I might add.
You have trouble reading? Obtuse? Or just a fundamental lack of understanding what electability means? Given your reply, you’re probably not one to be taken every seriously since you’re obviously incapable of taking a step back and assessing a situation. Especially if you’re regurgitating statements that clearly aren’t your own or exhibiting semblance of independent thought.
Go through this thread. Look at the actions of the Republican Party.
They lack accountability. Trump was elected President because Rs voted for him in the primaries and then in the general election. The idea that "this" happened because of liberals is so damn stupid and is an excuse so as to avoid accountability.
I miss the old GOP ... that country club party at least took responsibility. Now all you have is a President who berates women, veterans, and many Americans daily on Twitter. Yet all I hear from the right are excuses.
You clearly cannot quote a post.
This thread is still going? It shouldn't take 3 pages to agree that Trump is a piece of shit.
Exhibit A on why Trump won and why he'll win in 2020.
I think Trump is doing a great job. Undoing King Hussiens executive orders and cutting regulations and taxes. Winning!
No, I believe you are......scratch that...I feel sorry for you and the total off the rails derangement you have and show daily. You are making yourself sick.

Or maybe people will get wise to this retarded double standard, sympathize with liberals, and Trump will lose in a brutal landslide.
You actually buy into Trump. You're dumb. You're like those idiots who bought into his fake university and kept forking over your money every month for bogus classes.
You keep changing the subject. You said "the American people" didn't want Hillary. I pointed out that more American people voted for her, and you replied,"No."
Sorry, should have said "the American people as represented by their slate of state electors" but that's kinda clunky.
It’s only a matter of time until Trump’s own party turns on him and throws him under the bus. They will soon come to terms with the fact that he is a criminal and try to save face by framing it as if he went rogue when in fact it was a systemic issue.
Good God, you two are trapped in a cult. How dumb are you? You really believe this orange ape?
What promises has he kept? Moving the embassy to Jerusalem, any others?
I’m sure Mexico paying for the wall will happen any day.
The majority of the country didn’t vote for her and that’s why we have the electoral college
Gorsuch. That's about it. The wall and Mexico never happened. The tax code was never simplified nor has it lead to an economy on steroids. Job creation is actually worse under Trump. He had no super secret way to defeat ISIS. Trump never released his taxes. The vast majority of regs he cut were never enacted in the first place. He never won a trade war with China. NK is still as dangerous as ever. Syria is still killing their own people. I can keep going on and on about all the promises he has broken.
Jesus, how can you flat out lie about stuff like this? It's demonstrably false that more people voted for Trump. Good grief, man.The majority of the country didn’t vote for her and that’s why we have the electoral college
The majority of the country didn’t vote for her and that’s why we have the electoral college
It's sad and pathetic that these people have actually convinced themselves that geography is more important than people when it comes to governing.
Direct democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.
Get real, dude.
Says the backward minority that knows the only way they can maintain power is to continue to maintain the tyranny of the minority that we have set up right now.
Yes, it was made to make sure a foreign agent doesn't become President of the United States. Obviously, the electoral college doesn't work.
And the DNC pushed along the only candidate that could possibly lose to him and democrats went along with it. I remember when democrats used to claim being a party of intellectual people.
2016 is a case study in the stupidity of our two party duopoly and those that subscribe to it.
The best part of this thread is in a couple more years the same posters blaming liberals for Trump will have taken it a bit further and just claim Trump was a liberal all along.
I didn’t vote for Trump, but it’s my belief that he won for no other reason than the other major players candidate (Hillary) was viewed as more “deplorable”... which is hard to do when running against Trump. The other teams platform and message also did not resonate well.
That's fine and dandy but it doesn't explain how he was chosen in the primary from the "deepest field" ever.
Also the liberals fault I'm sure
Again, my opinion, but when it became clear that Hillary was getting the lefts nod the right also went nuclear with someone just as deplorable, but perceived to be on the opposite end of the spectrum. Basically the choice came down to two terrible candidates.
The internet has rendered the original intent of the electoral college moot. It was never intended limit or inflate a state's influence in a presidential election.
What? It was absolutely intended to blunt the effects of direct democracy.
We don't vote for presidents. We vote for a slate of electors in the state we live in.
Because states matter in a Republic.
You're wrong, it's intent was to keep the deciding votes in a class of people that had the ability to stay informed. The founders thought it would be a poor idea to have a direct democracy being wielded by a predominantly illiterate electorate. It had nothing to do with giving sparsely populated states more weight in national elections.
