It is currently over 2 million votes now. https://nairaland.unblockandhide.com/3481921/clintons-lead-popular-vote-sures

Hillary Clinton’s lead over Donald Trump in the popular vote sured 2 million Wednesday morning, according to Dave Wasserman of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report.

Clinton has garnered 64,223,958 votes, compared to Trump’s 62,206,395 votes.

By Nov. 15, the Democratic nominee’s advantage had crossed the 1-million mark and ballooned to 1.5 million by Sunday.

Despite Clinton’s lead in the popular vote, it was Trump who prevailed on Election Day by clinching 270 Electoral College votes.

Trump told New York Times reporters Tuesday he would “rather do the popular vote” and was “never a fan of the Electoral College,” according to Maggie Haberman, who was live-tweeting Trump’s comments during the interview session.

A week after his historic election, Trump tweeted: “The Electoral College is actually genius in that it brings all states, including the smaller ones, into play. Campaigning is much different!”

That was an about-face from what he tweeted after President Barack Obama’s reelection against Mitt Romney in 2012.

“The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy,” Trump declared then.

For good measure, Trump boasted last week, “If the election were based on total popular vote I would have campaigned in N.Y. Florida and California and won even bigger and more easily.”

California Sen. Barbara Boxer, a Democratic lawmaker who ed Clinton, introduced legislation last week to abolish the Electoral College. The long-shot bid is not expected to clear the GOP-controlled Congress, though.

And at least a half-dozen electors, those who will formally cast votes for Trump and Clinton on Dec. 19, are pushing to block Trump from winning a majority of votes.

While the effort is unlikely to succeed — even if it did, the House of Representatives could simply choose to elect Trump — so-called faithless electors who buck the will of the voters could spur more widespread calls for reform.

Al Gore's lead over George W. Bush in the famously close 2000 election was about 500,000 — which at the time was the largest advantage in the popular vote for a candidate who lost the Electoral College vote in the presidential election.

Horse load of trash!

I dont know how any sane person can trump. Some who is an embarassment to his own party?? Any nigerian ing Trump needs serious special divine intervention!

When Trump start deporting Nigeria as he has promised, the same FFK will take the lead to blame it on Buhari.

Why am l not surprised that FFK s a warmonger, foulmouth like Trump?

US defense budget is bigger than the next 7 countries combined, yet Trump vowed yesterday to increase it by 60%.

Trump has said "he love war" and that he does not mind using nuclear, among other childish and dumb things he says.

FFK should stop all these unsolicited sermons. Nobody is interested.

It is not an easy job dragging a Dead Horse.

Mr. President welcome to Edo. APC has this on lockdown.

PDP has a proven legacy of employing the services of men of questionable characters. Very sad.

Fire Emefiele. Replace him with Adeosun. Bring back NOI. This is Nigeria for Nigerians.

I disagree. It will rattle the system and cause anachy. Rather bring in more experts on advisery capacity to brainstorm will the current team and offer more ideas on how to make the current plans work. Else you do damages than good.

Read my lips, ours will not be fired. She and her colleagues have done a great job keep Nigeria afloat despite the systematic destruction that was inflicted to the nation.

I that more hands should come in and help. If the President sack his economic team in this fragile state, he will be playing into the hands of those unpatrotic elements that want Nigeria to sink beyond redemption.

Nigeria will over her present challenges.

amInigerian:

The resignation of a president does not automatically mean that people who stole or committed treason suddenly did not and that they will be suddenly innocent. The resignation of a president is just that - his resignation.

Since Mr. President will NOT be reg, you can go and resign him.

Those who messed up Nigeria are forming anger that the President is not fixing their mess fast.

Buhari is not going anywhere. And he will do what it takes. Nigeria will be better.

After the wailing miscreants will blame it on the Presido instead of holding their governors responsible for insanity.

When militants cause IDP Camps in Niger Delta, the same Wailers cheering them will still blame it on someone else.

Funny politicians. They should unite behind the winner. Only one person can be the winner.

OP, so that Dasuki, Ipod, FFK, Makafi, Fayose and co can take over?

The level of insanity in the Wailing Cave depressing. Hahahaha

oloyesaso:

http://www.kenya-today.com/news/police-brutality-nairobi-kisumu-iebc-demonstrations

After impersonating Ugandans to bash Nigeria, these folks have found a new partnership with Kenyans to castigate Nigeria. Shm on them.

Things are happening. We expect more. It is well.

Biafman:

Shut up and keep quiet. The man said some reasonable things to some great extent. Which solution and by which government? Why are you and your people so afraid of living on your own? What is wrong with dividing the country if it's not working peacefully so every group can go their separate ways? Must you continue this cycle of violence until when? I am sure you are of yoruba stock, you guys are the problem holding this country back.

Will you the division of Biafra in smaller pieces if you get pit? Will you it to be divided? YES or NO.

asamaigho:
Its amazing how the Ijaws cant seperate the "ijaw struggle" from the "nigerdelta struggle".

It is the same. Just that the Ijaws overshadow other minority groups at time. But it is the same struggle.

Glad something is in the making. Also other funds being allocated to the region should be maximized to better developmental projects.

Boko Haram has the leaverage here. The return of the girls is going to be on their .

My hope is for the girls to reunite with their families.

Flexherbal:
Are they dearing him?

They are showing him the kpomo. Don't be surprise if those cows are owned by rich/business men in Ekiti.

Flexherbal:
After killings thousands of innocent people, you are now talking of peace.
Ok, the families of the girls need them.
Hope they have not been touched?

Not touched? You should be asking how many children.

I pray they all return safe and alive. It is very sad.

Firefire:


I dey laugh oooo.

The man is using his big mouth to spoil market by making provocative comments.

They called him for a book launch, instead of droping his donation, he switched to rubbish. Who ask am?

When kpomo and beaf starts getting scarce in Ekiti State, they will beg that the whole state be turnes to a grazing land.

Instead of Fayose to establish a large modern Ranch in Ekiti and show how it is done, he is busy mocking his state.

The Mother of Boko Haram - what a title!

They better release those captive. One for sure, they will never be the same. What a world we live in.
