In the 2016 election, no candidate received a majority of the popular vote. Bill Clinton never received a majority of the popular vote either time he won. George W Bush also didn't the first time, but he did the 2nd time. Get over it. The US is not a democracy - its a federal republic. The US Presidential election is not decided by popular vote. It's decided by individual elections in the states. It forces the candidates to care about what's going on in all the states instead of visiting the top 8 cities and calling it a day.
