With some votes still being tallied, CNN's projections show that Donald Trump will win the popular vote as well:

EDIT: Click on Popular Vote tab, to see projected winner once 100% of votes are tallied.

MSM narrative explodes.

I hadn't seen CNN's map until this thread.
Their map looks idiotic but gave me the info I wanted.

That's not what that indicates, I don't believe. All that indicates is that Trump is the predicted winner of the election. Because, officially, Trump has not won the election yet (although for all intents and purposes he has).

I see where you are coming from now but I've followed along with CNN's coverage from the beginning and Trump has always been listed as the projected winner. That doesn't mean he's projected to win the popular vote, just projected to win the election.

Could Trump still win the popular vote? Sure, but it's unlikely, especially since California still has over 30% of its votes uncounted.

Okay, I see it now.
But if CNN actually projects DT as the popular vote winner, in the inimitable word(s) of The Donald himself, they are "Wrong".

I don't care. He's the president. As The Donald himself said, "Hillary Clinton had thirty years to change it."

All true.
I'm actually eagerly anticipating what Trump will accomplish, good or bad.
