Same result as when George H.W. Bush beat Al Gore, only that was by a slimmer electoral college margin. Another reason I despise the outdated electoral college. Candidates only focus on states they need to get to that magic 270 number and completely disregard the majority of America.
The USA is not a democracy. It is a constitutional republic. It was designed to avoid the concentration of power in a centralized body or dense pockets of influence.
