I turned 30 this year,and the Republican candidate has won the popular vote once in my life,and he was an incumbent. There has been a Republican president 14 of the 30 years of my life. Now,the first president of my life ( Bush 1) won the popular vote before I was born, but if we don't count him, no Republican has entered office with the popular vote in my life.
Regardless of political beliefs does this seem right to everyone?

- philliphaydon 7y agoIf you removed only California from the popular vote then Hillary lost. The share number of people there still cause Hillary to get the popular vote. Is it fair that 1 state has a controlling share over every other state?
- frankbreetz 7y agoIf California was 6 different states,do they deserve more power?
- hannasanarion 7y agoAnd if you remove Texas, Hillary would have won by an even larger margin. What is your point?
