That's why he got less votes than his opponent.

Are you seriously bringing that up again? He won the election. The number of votes is irrelevant. Maybe that's why he won: he actually understands this simple fact about how the Constitution works, and people like you either don't, or simply refuse to.

> he certainly seemed to understand how to get people to vote for him a lot better than his political competitors did

This is false. The fact that he won the election is completely irrelevant to this point. The election isn't won by the candidate who understands how to get people to vote for him. If it was, he'd have lost.

Obviously, you are completely unwilling to accept the fact that Trump won the election, and somehow you're creating utterly insane logic to continue the fantasy in your head.

So you're saying that getting less votes in an election makes one better at getting the most votes? Fascinating the logic, or rather lack thereof, of Trump supporters. Then instead of admitting you are wrong, you double down on your illogical premise and accuse those who point it out of being illogical. I can see why you like the man so much. Illogical, nonsensical ideas must attract each other especially when coupled with fear of criticism and anger towards those that disagree with said ideas.

Wow, this is an incredibly stupid post. I'm not a Trump supporter; that should have been obvious from my posts. And you think that getting more votes equals winning an election, in a place where the electoral system makes this not the case? And then you fire back at me with this idiotic post? You're beyond help. It's no wonder Trump won with people like you on the other side.

I never once mentioned the electoral college. That's not even part of this discussion.

That right there is your problem. Go learn about how US elections work. Try reading the Constitution.
