BREAKING : Without California Hillary Clinton Would Have LOST the POPULAR VOTE by 1.4 MILLION
Hillary is a candidate for the President of California.
As a matter of fact, if it weren’t for California, she’d have LOST the “popular vote” by 1.4 million.
This election has is further proof as to why our Electoral College is so important.
Our Founding Fathers understood that one state or a handful of states should never decide the fate of the majority of states.
California is almost a one-party state.
Liberals rule with an iron fist.
That fact, coupled with illegals voting, is no wonder that Hillary “cleaned up” there.
From investors.com:
Democrats who are having trouble getting out of the first stage of grief — denial — aren’t being helped by the fact that, now that all the votes are counted, Hillary Clinton’s lead in the popular vote has topped 2.8 million, giving her a 48% share of the vote compared with Trumps 46%.
To those unschooled in how the United States selects presidents, this seems totally unfair. But look more closely at the numbers and you see that Clinton’s advantage all but disappears.
As we noted in this space earlier, while Clinton’s overall margin looks large and impressive, it is due to Clinton’s huge margin of victory in one state — California — where she got a whopping 4.3 million more votes than Trump.
California is the only state, in fact, where Clinton’s margin of victory was bigger than President Obama’s in 2012 — 61.5% vs. Obama’s 60%.
But California is the exception that proves the true genius of the Electoral College — which was designed to prevent regional candidates from dominating national elections.
In recent years, California has been turning into what amounts to a one-party state. Between 2008 and 2016, the number of Californian’s who registered as Democrats climbed by 1.1 million, while the number of registered Republicans dropped by almost 400,000.
What’s more, many Republicans in the state had nobody to vote for in November.
There were two Democrats — and zero Republicans — running to replace Sen. Barbara Boxer. There were no Republicans on the ballot for House seats in nine of California’s congressional districts.
At the state level, six districts had no Republicans running for the state senate, and 16 districts had no Republicans running for state assembly seats.
Plus, since Republicans knew Clinton was going to win the state — and its entire 55 electoral votes — casting a ballot for Trump was virtually meaningless, since no matter what her margin of victory, Clinton was getting all 55 votes.
Is it any wonder then, that Trump got 11% fewer California votes than John McCain did in 2008? (Clinton got 6% more votes than Obama did eight years ago, but the number of registered Democrats in the state climbed by 13% over those years.)
If you take California out of the popular vote equation, then Trump wins the rest of the country by 1.4 million votes. And if California voted like every other Democratic state — where Clinton averaged 53.5% wins — Clinton and Trump end up in a virtual popular vote tie. (This was not the case in 2012. Obama beat Romney by 2 million votes that year, not counting California.)
Meanwhile, if you look at every other measure, Trump was the clear and decisive winner in this election.

Without an investigation of the number of non-citizens who voted in California, the popular vote total is intellectually dishonest. No rational person can look at the demographics of the state and the ease with which non-citizens with driver’s licenses can vote and not conclude that millions of non-citizens voted in California. Subtract those from the vote totals and let’s talk about who won the popular vote.
ALL those illegals who voted for her in Mexico ie calli because we all know they are mexico . LOL will all she spent and did to try to win we still shut her down . Lmao did the commie brats actually think we would let them Kill America and Her People. The alt left are not american they are commie globalist scum who need to be either de programed or shipped out to cuba ,
Let’s not forget that Clinton attempted to steal the election in numerous ways. Obama encouraged illegals to vote, in Detroit in precincts highly favorable to Clinton paper ballots were scanned up to six times, in one box there were about 50 ballots, yet the count for that box as reported on its cover sheet was over 350 votes. In another place favorable to Clinton 119 dead people voted 229 times. These types of things make claims that Clinton won the popular vote is very dubious at best. It was possible to steal like crazy in CA, NY, IL.. who was going to check. IN NY, the mayor fired an election official who blew the whistle on the election fraud of bussing people around to vote more than once in different polling places. And the 240 year old rules say the winner of the electoral college wins. The claims that this should be over turned would be like arguing that the Cleveland Indians should be given the World Series title because although the Cubs won four games, and the rules say the team to wins four games is the winner of the World Series, the Indians scored more runs over the seven games. Although this is the same thing no one is making this claim. The Obama administration, the most incompetent, corrupt, dishonest, lazy and worse president in our history and the lies and manipulations of Clinton campaign were not enough this time to continue the gross and pervasive corruption, the crony capitalism privatization, perversion of justice and the rule of law are the legacy of Obama who tried to pass this onto the even more corrupt, felonious criminal family of the nasty crook and incompetent, Hillary Clinton.
