Trump’s win means America might become conservative, but it’s so not a sure thing
By Andrea Widburg
As Democrat areas finally finish their long, long counts (a phenomenon which almost invariably favors Democrats, something that seems statistically unlikely), Trump has maintained his victories in the popular vote and the Electoral College. However, while his Electoral College win is huge (312 to 226), Trump’s margin of victory in the popular vote has shrunk.
Trump no longer has more than 50% of all votes counted. However, he still won more votes than Kamala (76,823,951 to 74,312,576). Had a Democrat done the same—a huge win in the Electoral College plus a sizable popular vote win—the media and other Democrats would have unanimously claimed that Trump has a mandate to do what it takes. In other words, when Democrats win, no matter how much of a squeaker it is, it’s winner takes all. When Republicans win...not so much.
