I’m really tired of the losers harping on Hillary Clinton’s vote majority. California, probably the most liberal state in the USA, represents 2 percent of the 50 states. If you remove California from the results, Trump wins the popular vote! Fortunately, California does not run this nation. Move to Canada if they’d have you.
