There are 3,141 counties in the United States.

Trump won 3,084 of them.
Clinton won 57.

There are 62 counties in New York State.

Trump won 46 of them.
Clinton won 16.

Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes.

In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties; Trump won Richmond)

Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country.

These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles.
The United States is comprised of 3, 797,000 square miles.

When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election.

Large, densely populated Democrat cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc) don’t and shouldn’t speak for the rest of our country.

She is the choice of the people by 2.5 million people. if Trump won the popular vote, but lost the electorial college, you guys would be enraged.

I think the word you are looking for is outraged.  And yes, Trump's voters would have every right to be outraged, because that is not how the system works.  I do not know why you want to keep posting about the popular vote, it did not win Hillary the election.  Move on, or seek counseling.

If the election had been based on the popular vote, Trump would have won it also.  He worked very hard within the system and was in Michigan that final night when the Dems did nothing "knowing" that Michigan was already "theirs"
