When people look back at this time in history.
The word disgrace will be used a lot,  to describe Trump and this GOP cult!

Do you even know what the "popular vote" is?  Here's a hint.  Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016 and Trump won anyway because that's NOT how national elections in this country are decided.
Now go look up "electoral vote" and "Electoral College," you....

Your nemesis  is correct .
   
  The  electoral College ensures EVERY  State is represented in our Presidential elections.
  There are 538 Electoral votes
   Each State has a number of electoral members  
   States with higher populations have more electoral votes.
   The popular vote in EACH State wins the Electoral votes for that State.  
   Minimum 270 electoral votes to win the Presidency.
   MAGA President Trump won with 304 electoral votes
   

Crazy War Monger HRC lost because she is low energy and clueless how Presidential elections are won.

If popular vote as a whole decided our election, States with extremely high populations accustomed to free rides to  
  the destination they choose would  ruin our chance for a successful future together as the United States of America .  

If popular vote alone across the board, determined  who wins the Presidency, it wouldn't be long until Mob rules.

So everyone knows Trump won because of the Electoral College.
This is why, he is actlng like a fake President now.
It does not change the fact, more people voted for Hillary in 2016.

The Russian puppet was crying about the Electoral College back in 2012!
He has since changed his tune.

They really need to get rid of the Electoral College and stick with the popular vote!

Since the Dems got burned twice in 2000 and 2016.

It's amazing you cannot understand the larger points or the meaning of fat! Lol

Still, it's nice to see that there's parity between Right and Left in outright stupidity and total lack of reading comprehension.

He was popular enough to get the votes needed to be confirmed to the SC.

 
I wasn't talking about the "electoral vote" or the "Electoral College".

'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.'
.
Unfortunately, there are commonly accepted definitions and meanings for things like "popular vote" and so on.  
.
"In representative democracy, the popular vote is the total number or percentage of votes received by a party, candidate or group of candidates, as opposed to the number of seats they win in the representative assembly or, as in the United States, in the Electoral College in a presidential election. There have been five presidential elections in which the person who became president received fewer popular votes than their opponent, the most recent being the 2016 presidential election." (wikipedia.org)

Re: Kavanaugh was voted in.

I wasn't talking about the "electoral vote" or the "Electoral College".

BK received 51 "Yes" votes from Senators who were elected by their constituents (voting citizens) in each state. I don't know the voting rules in each state, but I think that each state is allowed to set their own rules according to "The times, places, and manner of holding elections for Senators shall be as prescribed in each State by the legislature thereof."  In some cases (I haven't bothered to look them up), someone might be elected to the Senate by a plurality of the vote rather than a majority of the vote.  (Write-ins and third party candidates draw votes; the outcome could be A 45%, B 43% Others 12%. No one has received a majority of the votes. Candidate A has received a plurality of the votes and is usually declared the winner without a run-off election. But I don't know how each state does it.
.
In any event, it was 51 REPRESENTATIVES that cast votes for BK, not the electorate themselves, it was NOT by the popular vote.  
.
EDIT: fixed typos
