If Presidents were elected by direct popular vote, their campaign managers would have run completely different campaign strategies to maximize that metric instead of electoral college votes, and Republicans may still have won in 2016.

Sure, and it’s also possible, even likely, that they could have lost. There’s no way to know. But we do know for a fact that Trump got 3 million less votes from the American people than his opponent, but more votes from members of the Electoral College.

Way to totally miss my point. The direct vote is not relevant if that's not the electoral system the country is using to select leaders.
