On the belief that you are referencing the popular vote margin - Neither candidate got more than 50% of the popular vote. 63Million people voted for DT, it's simply not a case that somehow 3Million more somehow makes the Clintonista group amazingly wiser. If we were a true democracy, we would have had a runoff, it would not have gone straight to HC. And in a 2 person race, the question is what would happen with the libertarian vote (the green vote going to HC en masse). If Libertarian went en masse for DT (not saying they would, but I think it likely most would). Then with the same numbers that voted, DT would have had a 181,000 vote lead.
The point is NOT to say DT won the popular vote, he didn't. The point is that the margin is so thin out of 137 million total votes, that it is to the point of absurdity to use it as any type of validation or invalidation of the electoral college result.
