You really don't think the popular vote totals indicate that we're a split country?Had the outcome been reversed and Clinton won the EV and Trump the PV, this conversation would be precisely reversed.
We're a split country, obviously, and anyone who doesn't govern with that in mind will accomplish little in the long term. Back and forth, back and forth.
Partisans are so silly.

We are not OBVIOUSLY a split country. It was predicted that the large number of illegals entering the country and being encouraged to vote by Obama was going to effect the election. The only thing that saves the nation from such an unfair advantage is the electoral college. Trump lost one or two states by a large margin. That means in the other 48 he either did well or didn't lose by much. He even turn some very blue states red.
It is only fair that the election be run as it has from the beginning. There were 51 popularity contest run on Nov 8, Trump won, I think, 30, and Hillary 21. Trump is president.
But you are right, if it had gone the way George Soros had said, or if what he said is still true and the electoral college elects Hillary, the discussion would be the opposite.
The electoral college makes the whole election fair to all, not to just a mass of voters in one or two states, and isn't that what the liberals bitch about?
The democrats cheated, lied and encouraged cheating and lying they just couldn't do it in enough states to win.
