Framing the popular vote result [View all]
First, it is good to be back!
I was just thinking that it might because more effective, pragmatically speaking, for us to say "Trump lost the popular vote" rather than "Clinton win the popular vote." That way, we can say in no uncertain terms that Trump is not a legitimate President, and that he doesn't speak for the vast majority of people in this country.
Furthermore, since Hillary Clinton is unfortunately toxic to a lot of people - for so many horrible reasons that all too many people believe - I think that on a subconscious level, more people would be inclined to agree with us that Trump is not a legitimate POTUS.
That's just my two cents though, YMMV.
