I responded to your post, which had limited information, which you stated was a history refresher concerning Hillary and the popular vote.
I provided factual information.
And history backs me up that the Previous Duly Elected Presidents of The United States, just like the The Duly Elected 45th President was elected via the EC even when a past candidate (Gore) won the popular vote and lost the Presidency via the EC process.
So, you mentioning Clinton getting the popular vote remains meaningless as far as history goes even when connected to the statement made by Jimbo or all the excuses Hillary made for her loss, since the history of the previous popular vote win did not result in a win to the Presidency.
FACT CHECK: Gen. David Petraeus on the 0.45%
Hillary Clinton’s Popular Vote Win Came Entirely from California
Hillary Clinton garnered 4.3 million more votes than Donald Trump in the nation's most populous state.

If the election was decided by the popular vote, than we would be swearing in a President Hillary Clinton.
But that’s not how it works. And — as he has said many time — if Donald Trump was campaigning for the popular vote, rather than the electoral vote, he would have campaigned much differently.
But he didn’t and Hillary’s margin of victory in that state was 4.3 million votes — or 61.5 percent
And therein lies the rub.
The purpose of the Electoral College is to prevent regional candidates from dominating national elections…
If you take California out of the total, Donald Trump won the popular vote by 1.4 million.
Popular Vote numbers: Clinton 65,853,514 versus Trump 62,984,828
EC Numbers: Trump 304 Clinton 227
imho Jimbo was not confused what "Body" put Trump in the White House.
The popular vote did not put Clinton in the White House. The EC voting "Body" put Trump in the White House.
Based on the fact that until there is a change The Legitimate American Voters "Body" are counted via the EC and not by the popular count.
imho You tried to rewrite history and offered up the idea that the Popular American Voter "Body" was the legitimate voting body and the EC vote was not the legitimate voting "Body".
So, explain how your mention of Hillary winning the popular vote mattered in history concerning the fact that she lost the Presidency due to the EC vote to show Jimbo needed a history lesson from you which "Body" put Trump in the White House?
