There can be no truer example of this than Trump’s position on the electoral college. He won the electoral college but is on track to lose the popular vote by more than 1 million votes. First, let’s look at Trump’s position in 2012, when it appeared that Mitt Romney might win the popular vote but lose the electoral college. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy. When Trump thought President Obama had won the electoral college while losing the popular vote, Trump thought the electoral college was a “disaster for a democracy.”Now that he himself won the electoral college with narrow wins in three states, while losing the popular vote, Trump thinks it’s a “genius” system.
