Oh, puh-lease. Your dumb boy came in second in the popular vote last
time around.

Ah, Harry, the same old song. Read your Constitution! There is no such
thing as a "popular vote" on a national basis. In fact, there is no such
thing as a national election in this country...

They keep forgetting that. The people do not elect the president - it
is not a direct election.

The states elect the president through the electoral college process.
So for all of you americans that slept through civics in high school,
and for all of you in other countries that think the U.S. has a
"one-person-one-vote" process for electing our president, listen up---
That is not how it works. It works that way for most other offices,
but not president. We don't just count all the individual votes
across the country and say the guy with most votes wins. Each state
has its own process to detetmine how its electoral college votes will
be cast. Then the states vote.

Even Hillary!® forgot that. She went on a rant after the Florida
insanity and said she was going to introduce legislation to abolish
the electoral college. Yeah! That'll fix it.

Can you imagine being "the messenger" that had to tell her she
couldn't legislate it away because it is set out specifically in the
Constitution?
