But when you take into account all the States and the counties within them, the popularity for Trump stretches farther than the popularity of Clinton.

So, Clinton being "popular" is meaningless when you can't actually apply that label to the majority of people that live in other states besides California.

The majority of Americans did not vote for Hillary; however, I recommend that you concede this popular vote point and move on. It is a coping mechanism that that many who suffer from Post-Election Stress Disorder (PESD) use to deal with reality.

 
You must ignore the fact that before the election everybody knows how the system works and folks campaigned and voted accordingly. You must ignore that those that voted for a 3rd party may have voted differently if popular vote determined the President. You must ignore that each candidate may have campaigned differently in various states had the popular been the way we’ve elected a President for the last 240ish years. You must ignore that Trump won over 300 electoral votes and took most of the states in the Nation to include rust-belt states that usually go blue.

What you must do is except the logic that bringing up a way of scoring that is not used after the fact means something. If you debate this I fear what the ramifications could be.
