We don't have a popular vote for President. Candidates, campaigns, and voters would all behave differently if we did.
It's like if your baseball team lost a game and saying "yeah, but they had the fewest batters struck out!" OK... but that's not how the winner is determined, and both teams would have played differently if it were. We can't know what the outcome would have been, in that case.

your comment has nothing to do with the topic we were discussing. The person I replied to made a comment about what a majority of people in America believe.
