So if we take ALL the votes cast for ALL candidates those votes are more than any ONE candidate got? 

Not quite. It's actually not that complicated. If 48% voted Hillary, 52% voted for someone else than Hillary. Which might very well lead to the conclusion that a majority voted for, ergo wanted someone else than Hillary.
If you define "majority" as "more votes than anyone else", then ok. One might break down it to a definition question. I can just say, in all democracies I know that result would not warrant to call Hillary the winner. In yours, it doesn't mean much. In European ones, there would be a second runoff election.

Maybe it is. I agree with you in principle, but technically no one got the majority of all votes. That Hillary got more votes than Trump is undisputed.
