    That’s why the Electoral College exists

    If people are voting for Trump then they will put their votes towards a better alternative

      Ironically Hillary Clinton had 3 million more votes than Trump. Without electoral college it would have been a Hillary Presidency.

        We’ve had 6 presidential elections in the 21st century. The Republican candidate won the popular vote one out of those 6 times. Yet we’ve had 3 Republican Presidential terms resulting from those elections.
