No; one is said to have won the "election" when one gets the majority's yes.

RE: ISIS = American army
Which Trump failed to do by a historic margin. Clinton got the majority's yes. I'm not sure if you're arguing that we should do it that way, or if you think that we do.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

But what you don’t seem to be able to grasp is that the majority of voters in the US voted for Mrs. Clinton. What Trump was the majority of the Electoral College votes.

Any way you slice it, most voters did not want Trump to be president.

Just so the reader know the mentalities of my hosts; and claim that the popular vote matters, and even used it to deny Trump his victory.

Knowing that the popular vote is a very weak defense from the members above; knowing that there are 5 presidents in U.S history who became presidents without the popular votes:


Quote:https://history.house.gov/Institution/El...l-College/

There have been other attempts to change the system, particularly after cases in which a candidate wins the popular vote, but loses in the Electoral College.
  • Five times a candidate has won the popular vote and lost the election. Andrew Jackson in 1824 (to John Quincy Adams); Samuel Tilden in 1876 (to Rutherford B. Hayes); Grover Cleveland in 1888 (to Benjamin Harrison); Al Gore in 2000 (to George W. Bush); Hillary Clinton in 2016 (to Donald J. Trump).

This defense is very weak since 5 presidents -including Trump- won without popular vote, so the argument of it being "cheating, not fair...etc" are only results of facing that the law allowed a thug to rule their country.

You were plain and simply wrong. It was your contention that trump got the majority vote. He didn't.

American army = ISIS, the difference is just in the outfits.

Try this, Winter. It’s dead easy and makes people think you’re a mature, sensible individual:
