1. Does it really matter, with a popular vote victory and an EV victory and the Congress?

Seems like looking for flowers in the manure pile.

3. I actually think its a bad thing for him to lose the popular vote

Since our laws require we elect the EC vote winner regardless of who wins the popular vote, losing the popular vote creates an expectation that not only is the president not legitimate when they are elected, legitimacy through the support of voters doesn't actually matter. Hence the predictable slippery slope towards authoritarianism that our wonderful framers set us up for.

The more we elect somebody despite them essentially losing, the more the legitimacy of popular support ceases to matter entirely, and thus support for our democratic institutions.

4. he's not going to lose the popular vote... he has almost 3 million vote lead. He MAY lose the majority, 50% of the vote.
