Do we really want California to elect our Presidents? ?Some interesting insight in the following- GM
Dear Fellow Americans,
?
We hear a cacophony of blaring and bleating from the media and the Hillary gaggle that she won the popular vote and therefore she should be president, 60,839,497 to 60,265,847.? 47.8% to 47,3% with the remaining 4.9% going to the other candidates.? But here are the facts:
?
Trump won the popular vote in 31 states to her 19 and DC ?62% to her 19%.? Trump led in the total popular vote for all states except California.? Hillary won California 5,860,714 to Trump's 3,151,821.? 61.6% to 33.1% exclusive of the other candidates.? Thus California gave Hillary the popular vote for all states as claimed by the Democrats and their media stooges.? 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.
?
This exemplifies the wisdom of the Electoral College, to prevent the vote of any one populace state from overriding the vote of the others.? Trump's Campaign Manager, Kellyanne Conway, whose expertise is polling, saw this early on and devised her strategy of?"6 pathways to the White House".? This meant ignoring California, with its huge Democrat majority, and going after the states that would give him the necessary?Electoral votes to win, FL, NC, MI, PA, OH, and WI.? It worked and our country?Will Be?Secure - after January 20, 2017.
One other tidbit: California is one of 11?"welfare states" where there are more people living off the?government dole than there are working for a living. A perfect?example of those who vote for a living. Since they have some time on their hands they are the ones who have time to?"protest," (in other words riot) and make a little?"undocumented"?income on the side.?

In 2006, it became the first state in the nation whose voting-eligible population switched from being majority white to "majority minority."
California has since joined that group, according to estimates, and so, too, will Texas by 2019, according to three demographic experts. Nine more states are expected to reach the tipping point before 2052, when, those experts say, the national electorate will become majority minority, too.
What president lost both the electoral vote and the popular vote?
But was still elected by the college?
It's a little tricky. But someone will get it.
Quick history test...

Without looking it up, I remember some sort of contention between John Q. Adams and Jackson, with the presidency going to Jackson. But I don't know if this is what you were referring to.
It was estimated there were 3 million illegal votes in this election. They just applied them to the wrong states.

I was referring to Hayes. Due to the apportioning of a subset of the electoral votes, he became president while losing both the electoral college and the popular vote.
Thank you, for the post.
Very enlightening.
