Dear DenechekIt was not half, Hillary got 2 1/2 million more votes. You need work on your fractions.President Trump has pissed off a few Republicrats, look at Lindsay Graham and John McCain. Half the country voted for Heillery and the "establishment" Republicrats who are threatened by the Tea Party could join the ranks.Who's going to ban them? The Republicans are in charge
The other half voted for Trump and put Trump in th White House....yet another stunning blow in a string of stunning blows to the demoquacks.It was not half, Hillary got 2 1/2 million more votes.

The estimated population in the United States in was 324,227,000 The difference of 2.5 M is for all accounts relatively half. While we're offering self help to each other I'll go "work on my fractions", and you can return to Pee Wee's Playhouse.
The votes were collected and counted under the Electoral system of giving all votes of that state to the majority winner.
If you want an accurate popular vote, then we need to set up a separate system for that where the different intent is clear. Some people don't vote if they know their state I going red or blue anyway or they vote third party, so if you change that they might change how they vote!
It would have to include a built in runoff so that the top two candidates don't lose votes to third parties that skew the results.
I think we need representation by party anyway.
By your system of majority popular vote, the third parties would never get anywhere at all.
It would be like excluding religious diversity and only letting Christians win govt offices because they have more members voting in each election.
If you would object to that, you should object to one party dominating and dictating for the rest of the country that has different beliefs too!
