It's nonsense to claim that Hillary actually won the election, because by doing so you're changing the rules of the contest after the fact. The goal was to get the most electoral votes, and Trump (for better or worse) followed a strategy that allowed him to obtain more than Hillary. Had the goal at the start of the election been to win the most votes in total, then the strategy followed by both sides would have been massively different. We really can't say one way or the other who would have won the popular vote in such a scenario. People need to rip this band aid off already. Hillary lost, and it's her own fault.

More people, ~2.5 million voted for her. People vote, counties/states do not. How would you feel if you simply were born in the wrong part of the country and you're with the majority and your vote didn't end up mattering? To have your vote matter, you need to be in Ohio or Michigan. The Yale Law grad is at fault for losing to that barbarian? Wrong again. The minority of the voting public, who believe they are victims- are at fault. And the USA is the one that will end up losing.
