>> And I don't think losing the popular vote by 2 MILLION establishes a MANDATE. There seems to be a great deal of confusion about this. But the combined popular vote has absolutely nothing to do with determining the winner. In fact, it is a totally useless figure. In fact, its only apparent use is in by the loser in trying to delegitimize the winner. To say, in effect, "Yes, he won but it doesn't really matter." For 250 years and certainly for the rest of your life and mine, presidents have been determined by other means than measuring the total popular vote. If people don't like this method, they should change the Constitution. Which they can't do. So, a good second choice would be require all states to leave Winner-takes-all behind and start allocating votes. Of course, the establishment parties aren't even about to do that. The reality is that this is the way it has always been and it isn't going to change anytime soon. Do we really want to cut presidents off at the knees by delegitimizing them? That's probably not a good thing for anyone.
