Kerry would have won in 2004 , despite a national popular vote deficit of 2 million , had he swung 40 , 000 thousand more votes in Ohio . I think most people here would agree we would have been better off under a President Kerry than a second Bush II term , yet Kerry would not have won the popular vote . So maybe , just maybe , we should give Donald Trump a chance before we spend the next 4 years grousing about the popular vote and trying to deligitimise his presidency because he won in a flawed system . <| sep |> Sail to the Moon to BackdriftsTinker Tailor to True Love Waits <| sep |> Very sweet !
