Hillary won California 5,860,714 to Trump’s 3,151,821. 61.6% to 33.1% exclusive of the other candidates.

But deduct her California vote from her national vote leaving her with 54,978,783, and deduct Trump’s California vote from his national total, leaving him with 57,113.976, he wins in a landslide in the other 49 states, 51.3% to her 48.7%.

So, in effect, Hillary was elected president of California and Trump was elected president of the rest of the country by a substantial margin.

Uuuummmmmmm....... yeah, totally. Statistics. The best best, right? Heheh.

Both candidates got less than 50 percent of popular vote.... But the 'game' is for the Electoral Vote -- and both candidates obviously knew that and conducted their campaigns as such (which would be different from running a campaign for popular votes).... A baseball game is not won on base hits; it's won on runs... A losing team could easily get many more base hits than the winning team, and yet still lose.... Can't change the rules after the game.... And thank God for the Electoral Vote, otherwise NYC, LA, and Chicago might decide every Election -- leaving all the places in-between with virtually no say...
