"t's the way Electoral College votes are calculated - not actual votes - that lead to a Trump win. I'd have thought you'd know that."

Thanks for the lesson but I'm fully aware. Are you trying to diminish Trump's victory by treating the Electoral College as an asterisk? If so, it doesn't work that way. The vote count/Electoral College is just a memory to Americans at this point, it's effect if any, long past. 

After MANY months of day in-day out "Hillary in a landslide" reporting,  SirJohn can hardly be taken to task for his remarks, race tightening stance by the media in the final days notwithstanding. 

I'd have thought you'd know that.
