Hillary Clinton’s lead in the popular vote over President-elect Donald Trump has surpassed 1 million, according to Dave Wasserman of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report.

As the final vote counts continue to trickle in a week after Election Day, Wasserman’s tally found that Clinton had 61,963,234 votes to Trump’s 60,961,185 as of Tuesday afternoon.

Votes are still being tabulated in California, Utah and Washington, according to Tracy Lewis, elections operations manager for the Associated Press. The result in Michigan remains too close to call.

It is still really funny that the majority of voters didn't choose the lunatic for president. Our election system is such a joke.

Try not to look at the gerrymandered districts of you can avoid it.

On Tuesday night, amid a disastrous White House transition process, President-elect Donald Trump broke with protocol and ditched his protective press pool to hit the 21 Club steakhouse in midtown Manhattan with his family.

The press was caught off guard when Trump spokesperson Hope Hicks signaled that Trump wouldn’t be leaving Trump Tower for the rest of the evening only to have his motorcade slip out around 7:30pm and head off to the restaurant, but NBC News reporter Hallie Jackson was able to snag a reservation and gain access inside the restaurant, where she caught President-elect Trump on video appealing to patrons who represent a sampling of the wealthiest denizens of the five boroughs. “We’ll get your taxes down,” Trump appealed, “don’t worry about it.”

Can't wait until his supporters realize what they elected.

Hillary Clinton's Popular Vote Lead Over Donald Trump Now Exceeds 1.5 Million Votes

Do I even dare expand the comments to see what hateful schlock conservative Yahoo trolls have to offer this time? I can already tell what it's going to be. If Trump got the popular vote but lost the electoral, I'm sure they'd be howling in dismay.

just face it, if it was the other way around, you'd be smugly saying that the electoral system manages perfectly to contain the most vulgar, base elements of popularism and mob-rule.

you can't have the entire continent at the beck-and-call of the tutting elites in california and new york. get over it.

trump is bad but the democratic party fucked up bigtime. you have no vision. stop queefing over the voting system as if that's the problem.

Oh, I guarantee people would if the roles were reversed. But neither the popular nor electoral vote concepts are ideal to me, and neither Clinton nor Trump were my preferred choice their respective parties. Also, what "you" do you mean? I'm not a Democrat.

The electoral college is functioning exactly as intended. When Jesus wrote the constitution, He knew that the heart of the nation was its farms, and by increasing power to agriculture areas, the yeoman farmer would keep their steady hand on the tiller of governance, despite the rocking buffets of the changeable passions of the urbanites.

They weren't campaigning to win the popular vote. If they had, he would've spent time on the coast and picked up votes from all the conservatives in coastal states that don't bother voting because it doesn't matter. This nonsense is really tiring. Just this afternoon I read an article written by some pompous electoral college voter who truly believes he's the bulwark of democracy and is trying to convince pledged trump voters to swing the electoral college to Clinton in order to save the country. These people are fucking deranged. That's a coup.

So President-Elect Trump continues you cry about Saturday Night Live mocking him and now actors from the play Hamilton.

Is this really what the next four years are going to be like?

If Trump won the popular vote but lost the electrical college tubby pin-heads with AR15s would be occupying government buildings across America while Trump pouted and whined until he got his way.
He said as much before the election.

very likely. but you know what liberals would be doing if that happened? appealing to constitution, founding fathers, and allah knows what else. macbeth there would be frothing at the mouth explaining to everybody how electoral college was the unique american way of running democracy.

i never liked the ec and all of this if trump won the popular vote" stuff is stupid imo. the ec has only helped one party and one group of people. a republican has only ever won the popular vote once since 1992. a clinton win wouldn't have erased the animus i have towards the whole thing.

you are a fucking dumbass. Your replies are basically 'lol democracy '

but you actually are a dumbass. Probs stick to Russian politics. American conservatives are traditionally the group that holds up constitution, founding fathers values', etc. And if Trump won the popular vote but lost the electoral college, liberals would be CELEBRATING because that meant Trump wouldn't be president. You. Fucking. Imbecile.

If you are gonna try to get slick little digs at the notion of American Exceptionalism, at least make sure you know what you're saying.

did you even read the posts you reply to, ken?

let me make it a little easier for you:

1. trump wins the popular vote but looses the electoral college
2. tubby pin-heads with AR15s occupy government buildings
3. liberals do - what? celebrate?

k.

if you open your mind too much your brain will fall out.
