    Hillary winning the popular vote by a hair means next-to-nothing. Trump did not focus resources on turning out his voters in CA or NY.

        Even so, losing the popular vote means Trump has a constricted "mandate" and could be compelled to moderate. A sliver lining, perhaps.

        After losing the popular vote in 2000, G. W. Bush made an explicit attempt to focus on "bipartisan" initiatives like "No Child Left Behind"

        The candidates don't compete to win the popular vote. They compete to win 270 electoral votes.

        exactly. If it was a popular vote contest from the outset, we would have totally different results.

        but Hillary also neglected Wisconsin and Michigan. Anyway, this wouldn't be an issue if we had instant-runoff voting.

        If presidents were elected by popular vote, more voters would turn out in solid blue and red states.

        And it would depress turnout in the rest. Why bother when CA & NY could practically deliver the presidency.

        Clinton's model-based GOTV may have been too sloppy. (This jives with accounts I've heard) http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_582533b1e4b060adb56ddc27 …

        it undermines the argument of fascists that Trump won a mandate and the majority of Americans are behind him.
