It's not what I deem correct. It is the logically sound conclusion.

Actually, I'm not. Lucie introduced using the presidential election as a measurement of public opinion. He contested that because Trump won running against the policies I discussed, that proved the public did not want them. I was countering his claim that because the popular vote, which has a stronger correlation to public opinion than the EC, did not go to Trump, his claim was not sound.

That was not my assertion. My assertion is that the popular vote has a stronger correlation to popular opinion than the winner via the EC. That is a fact.
