They regularly win presidential elections by the most obvious definition, the popular vote, but lose them on the EC, which is what actually counts.

The fact remains that more Americans vote Democratic than vote Republican, those votes are just badly distributed for the EC system.

It remains to be seen whether that will be true this time around.

Sure, but it's true of 7 of the last 8 elections.

If elections were decided by popular vote campaigns would run differently though

I would say that the most obvious definition of "win Presidential elections" is winning Presidential elections.
