Ponder thesse numbers

===========================================================

There are 3,141 counties in the United States.
Trump won 3,084 of them.
Clinton won 57.

=============================================================

There are 62 counties in New York State.
Trump won 46 of them.
Clinton won 16.

=============================================================

Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes.

In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties, Trump won Richmond)

Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country.

These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles.
The United States is comprised of 3, 797,000 square miles.

When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those that encompass a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election.

=============================================================

does put the election results into perspective...
