Some of George W. Bush's friends say that Bush believes God called him to be president during these times of trial. But God told me that HeSheIt had actually chosen Al Gore by making sure that Gore won the popular vote and, God thought, the Electoral College. 'That worked for everyone else,' God said.
Even before winning its majority, Harper's Republican-styl e Conservative party - well to the right Canada's traditional Progressive Conservative Party - managed to win minority governments with less than 40 per cent of the popular vote.
President-elect Donald Trump is not happy that he lost the popular vote. And this stat is probably not going to make him feel any better.
Donald Trump wasn't vying for the popular vote. He was vying for the Electoral College, as was Hillary Clinton. The only difference is he got over 300 electoral votes, and she did not.
The repealing and replacing of Obamacare is very complicated. It is what a White House and congressional leadership, serious White House and serious congressional leadership, should meet on and work on and figure out a strategy of, and it may work and it may not. Obviously not every administration gets things through, even when they have much larger majorities in congress and a much larger popular vote than Donald Trump had.
Such a closely divided election; Secretary [Hillary] Clinton won the popular votes. Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin - about 112,000 votes separated the two candidates as well.
The writers are pretty political and they want to get as big an audience as they can - they want the popular vote.
Hillary Clinton, [Democrats] say, leads the popular vote by two million, and a shift of a few votes in a few states would have won the election.
Y'know, I realize that George W. Bush is an asshole, but don't judge all us yankees by the actions of our government. Remember, he didn't win the popular vote so it's not entirely our fault!
Since 1900, only three other [than Donald Trump ] presidents have won the White House with a smaller percentage of the popular vote. Woodrow Wilson in 1912, Richard Nixon in 1968, and Bill Clinton in 1992.
I would've easily won the popular vote, much easier, in my opinion, than winning the electoral college.
Hillary Clinton`s popular vote lead is now up to 2. 3 million votes, but get this, [Donald] Trump`s percentage of the popular vote has now dropped to 46. 4 percent.
George W. Bush broke a mold four years ago: Even though he lost the popular vote, he governed as if he had won by acclamation.
Perhaps America will one day go fascist democratically, by popular vote.
Require. . . electoral votes to be allocated in proportion to the popular votes
Twenty-one years ago today Saddam Hussein was first elected president of Iraq and he has been re-elected ever since. Apparently they have the same electoral process we do, you don't need the popular vote to win.
Presidents are elected not by direct popular vote but by 538 members of the Electoral College.
A popular vote to ascertain the will of the sovereign.
Bush won the largest popular vote in history with a 3. 5 million margin. Indeed, simply by getting a majority of the country to vote for him - the left's most hated politician since Richard Nixon - Bush did something rock star Bill Clinton never did. Bush maintained or increased his vote in every state but Vermont.
It's very much in our interest to unite [with Bernie Sanders] as quickly as possible to begin the campaign against Donald Trump. And I think the facts really speak for themselves. I have a won a big majority of the popular vote of the states, of pledged delegates, and we want to go forward in a positive and unified way.
