This really puts things into perspective...
The best explanation of why the Founders had unbelievable wisdom in designing It also illustrates that the Democratic Party does not represent the country, just the heavily populated east
and west coast mega cities which are out of touch with the vast majority of the country.
There are 3,141 counties in the United States.
Trump won 3,084 of them.
Clinton won 57.
**********************************
There are 62 counties in New York State.
Trump won 46 of them.
Clinton won 16.
**********************************
Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes.
In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties, Trump won Richmond).
Therefore, these 5 counties alone more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country.
These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles.
The United States is comprised of 3, 797,000 square miles.
When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those that encompass a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election.
Large, densely populated Democrat cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc) don't and shouldn't speak for the rest of our country.
