Final tally shows Trump lost popular vote by 2.8 million – but he BEAT Clinton by 3 million votes outside of California and New York
- Clinton won California by 4.2 million votes and New York by 1.6 million, running up the score in places where she would have won no matter what
- Outside of those two liberal states, Trump was 3 million votes ahead
- California alone accounted for more than Clinton’s national popular-vote edge
- Newt Gingrich mocked: ‘This is football season. A team can have more yards and lose the game. What matters is how many points you put on the board’
Final vote tallies from the November 8 election show that Democrat Hillary Clinton out-polled President-elect Donald Trump by 2.8 million votes while losing the contest by a wide margin in the all-important Electoral College.
Her upper hand with voters, however, came down to performances in New York and California that were far stronger than necessary.
Clinton won California by 4.2 million and took New York by more than 1.6 million. The combined 5.8 million-vote advantage in just those two states was more than twice the size of her overall edge nationwide.
I am pleased Trump won.now I hope he does all he said! Many will need to be arrested Jan. 21st in one sweep.
