Actually, it's pretty easy, given the ridiculously large sample size.
- atomi 9y agoYou're forgetting it was a volunteer sample size, there were active disenfranchisement campaigns, and his opposition garnered millions of more votes.
- Retric 9y agoIt's a biased sample, but even then for every 100 people that voted for him 117 voted for someone else. Most striking the turnout as % of the population was down significantly presumably because many people could not bring themselves to vote for either candidate. http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/11/politics/popular-vote-turnout-2016/ http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/11/politics/popular-vote-turnout-... So, he would have gotten crushed by Bush, McCann, or Romney adjusting for population size.
