voters said, where are you? come to me. bring the message here. he will be a very active president. he will go to every nook and cranny of this country. he will be the president to all americans. it s time for those who lost to say he is their president, too. kellyanne conway, joel benenson, you are correct, neither one of you yelled at each other. this is the full jersey. fair enough. new york, kellyanne. thank you both. a little less heated than harvard. in case you missed it, hillary clinton lost the election despite leading in the popular vote by more than 2.5 million and counting. when we come back, why y we maye when we come back, why y we maye seeing thihis kind
issue with the notion that there was a mandate and that when you talk about connecting with people over america, hillary clinton had 2.5 million more americans vote for her than donald trump. i m aware of the currency of presidential elections, the electoral college. i ve been on three winning presidential campaigns. but a mandate is when you win big in the popular vote, when you win big in the election toal college vote. like president obama did two times. i don t recall kellyanne that president obama had a mandate or any republican saying he had a mandate. are you being a sore winner? you have done this a few times, your own twitter i think biosays, we won. it s like i dropped the mike. chuck, first of all, i showed respect to my colleagues for over two hours before this happened. but the fact is that we are we re the ones who understood america. the idea that we re going to talk about the popular vote answers your questions about sore losers.
presidency. two have been in the last five elections, since 2000. we might see it happen more frequently in the future. of the six most populous states, democrats have won california, new york and illinois by double digits since 1992. of the other three, democrats have been making gains in texas. it was big time this cycle, hosting their own in florida. only pennsylvania of the top six seems to be edging to the red column. all of this helps explain hillary clinton s growing popular vote margin. over 2.5 million votes right now, actually. of course, part of the reason for the popular vote, electoral college split is something we re calling sue per flewous votes. once a candidate wins a state, is it doesn t matter how many votes they win it by. anything more than one is unnecessary. by that standard, hillary clinton had 10 million extra votes that made no different to her electoral college total. donald trump by the way had 8.3 million, quote, extra votes. that s despite the fact that
things were called southern democrats, midwestern democrats, blue dog democrats. they are gone. isn t that the problem? given the electoral college? that is the problem. so democrats have a geography problem and republicans still have a demography problem. but the geography problem means they re not back in control in the house. i look at this election and it s always funny, democrats have a white working class problems and it look at the popular vote thing and look at texas, and the republicans have a latino problem. both things are correct. well, i think what democrats will likely conclude is the way they try to reach trump voters is with the bernie sanders style economics. what i think they ll have a much harder time grappling with, they need to make some nod to the culture concerns of these voters. if the bill clinton circa 1992 were running this year, someone like colin kaepernick would have been ripe for a sister soulja moment. the least you can do for the country is stan
trump won 30 states while clinton won 20 plus the district of columbia for a final electoral vote tally. the democratic strongholds are growing in population. they will continue to favor democrats in the future. it also means it could be a while until we see a republican win the popular vote again. that doesn t mean they won t win the presidency. because it s in the states in the industrial midwest where this election was decided. pennsylvania, wisconsin and michigan. if these states continue to be tightly contested with a slight shift, tilt to the right, we may continue to see this split between the popular vote and the electoral college when republicans win it going forward. when we come back, democrats have been losing big time at the congressional level. why did they re-elect the same leadership that was in charge of leadership that was in charge of the are my teeth yellow? have you tried the tissue test? ugh yellow. what do you use? crest whitestrps. crest 3d whitestrips whiten 25
