I agree with you about Trump being a thin-skinned mental patient who lives in a delusion that he won the popular vote.
I don't agree with any suggestion that the popular vote is an important metric. Just as one can assemble the rubes in the hills to vote GOP, one can assemble the credulous of the cities to vote Democratic.
It's just corralling different bands of idiots. And the cities have more idiots who'll vote lockstep D than the countrysides have rubes who'll vote lockstep R.
Sure, there are also bright people who actually examine policies and vote for both parties based on sane considerations. But have you talked to a rank and file Joe or Jane Sixpack voter lately?
Holy shit. They are so packed with disinformation or just plain bad information, of all varieties, from the right and the left, that you're pained not to shake your head and walk away in disgust.
Most voters who dependably vote one way are low information sorts. That the Ds have more of these people in their camp isn't exactly something for which they should be swelling up with pride.
