Why does he repeat this obviously incorrect talking point?
Its too bad we'll never find out because the MSM refuses to talk to him like decent journalists.
I'm sure they will misinterpret his words into their own weaponized interpretation though. When they do, you will post it here. That's when we laugh at you

"It also happens to be a pure excuse for the Democrats having lost an election that they should have easily won because of the Electoral College being slanted so much in their way. ...That's all this is. I think it shows division, and it shows that we're not together as a country. And I think it's a very, very negative thing."

A while ago, I wondered WTF Trump meant when he said that Hillary should have won the election. He seemed to be calling himself a failed loser of a candidate. He now has cleared that up by claiming that the Dems should have won, because the electoral college slants toward the Democrats. Two things make this statement ludicrous.
1) He lost the popular vote. How can he claim that the electoral college works against Republicans when two Democrats have won the popular vote but lost the election in the last 5 elections (since 2000). Trump was one of them! Over the short term, the Electoral College has been helping Republicans.
2) Republicans win as often as Democrats. There's no reason what so ever to think that the electoral college hurts Republicans over the long haul.
Why does he repeat this obviously incorrect talking point? Does anybody believe this bullshit?
