They do not have a majority, silent or not, she will win the popular vote. Stop this nonsense of pretending they're a majority, they are not. Trump won the electoral college, not the majority of votes.

That's just semantics. Are you refuting that there was a large population of people in swing states that voted contrary to polling and forecasts?

No, it isn't semantics; more people voted for Clinton, therefore there is no silent majority voting for Trump; that is a fact. Yes polling overlooked a big chunk of people who voted for Trump, but that chunk is not a silent majority by any stretch of the imagination.

And what is your argument exactly? Because Clinton won the POPULAR vote by .1 percentage points you can trivialize and insult 50% of the country?

Is that a real question? Because do please show me where I'm insulting 50% of the country. Are you claiming that me saying they aren't a majority constitutes an insult? That's pretty bold, yet that's all I've said so you really can't be referring to anything else.

California and New York help Clinton's numbers quite a bit.

Nationwide, no. In those specific states, yes. It was a majority.
