Exactly when it comes to the popular vote. I am willing to bet Trump did not spend a second in California campaigning. I doubt he did very much in NY either. He basically lived in my state (NC) because it was important swing state.
I don't mean this in a negative way, but this is an illogical argument. Clinton wasn't exactly visiting Texas either. Both candidates spent all their time in swing states. In fact, it was Trump that spent more time (not a ton, but more than Clinton) in states considered "non-swing." The simple reason why Clinton won the popular vote was because... she was more popular.

I am tired of the Russian thing also because there is not only no proof that it affected the outcome it just ignores the fact that Hillary was horrible candidate.
Russia flooded the internet with fake bots and fake news. Trump parroted the information, forcing the media to cover it at the expense of other issues. Clinton lost by 77,000 votes in the states she needed to win the EC. With over 130 million votes cast, I find it not only plausible, but probable that the misinformation contributed just enough to move a mere 0.5% of the voters.

Maybe people did not like the way the DNC worked against Bernie Sanders in the primary.
Most of the reason why the DNC story was a story was because the DNC servers were hacked..... by Russia. So, if you think this was a reason that contributed to her loss, that means...

I agree McCartney has every right to do a song about Trump. To me, it will just come off as another celebrity taking a shot at Trump and unless he does it well it will come off looking like a lame publicity stunt. BTW - I did not vote for Trump - lol.
I hope the song is great as well. There is certainly plenty of source material to work with.
"The simple reason why Clinton won the popular vote was because... she was more popular." Clinton won the popular vote by 2.9 million, she won California by 4.6 million. In other words, she was more popular in California - lol "Most of the reason why the DNC story was a story was because the DNC servers were hacked..... by Russia. So, if you think this was a reason that contributed to her loss, that means... " No, it was a story because Sanders filed class action lawsuit against the DNC saying they worked in conjunction with Hillary Clinton campaign against him in the primaries.
