    It probably wouldn't have. Again, raw numbers don't matter. Hillary beat Trump with the popular vote. So just adding 1 million or even 4 million onto her total wouldn't have necessarily made a difference. You have to look at the points for each state. Trump had such a big gap in some areas that you could have basically given all of Johnson's points to Hillary and she still would have lost the state. And that's assuming that all of Johnson's supporters would have voted for Clinton, which is likely untrue.

    Yeah i agree with this...as much as people wanna say she won the popular vote....she should've NEVER lost the electoral college vote...

    She lost nc, fl, michigan, wis, and pa...

    MInd you these are states either growing minority populations, major urban areas, or deep liberal hotbeds...no reason a strong democratic candidate should lose those in 2016...

    But she wasn't a strong candidate...and say what you want about trump but he was on america's tv and phones for everyday for a year

    She would have had to win two or three of those states to have actually won the election. So it's still untrue that you could have just randomly taken a million votes from the third party candidates, given them to Hillary, and assured a win. They would have had to have been distributed correctly. And on top of that, you have to make the assumption that those vote would have gone to Hillary. You can't make that assumption. Again, what people seem to be missing is that a lot of voters hate Hillary. There is a good chance that if those third parties weren't there, the votes would have gone as much or more for Trump as they did for Hillary. So this type of speculation is pointless.

    lol ? , get out of here with your toddler logic. Had I voted for Hillary, the outcome would have been exactly the same, so why would I have any more room to complain?

    I have the right to complain because I live in this country. But unlike you, I won't sit around and ? about the ? because that won't change anything either.

    You're an idiot because there's millions of you saying "If I had voted, the outcome would've been the same." No, because there's millions of you who didn't vote. If you millions had voted, the outcome would've been different.

    That makes you an idiot. And you have no room to complain about anything that President Trump does. You and Colin Kaepernick.
    Thank you. If 50 to 100 people are saying the same thing in multiple states then what does that say? Anyway I'm just enjoying the memes and other "information" that's being spread around.

    Wow people still don't know how the electoral college works.

    Guys there were literally millions of votes in this election that in the end would've been inconsequential to the donkeys and elephants anyway. Wouldn't have made a lick of a difference as far as the presidency is concerned. This isn't hyperbolic rhetoric just simple math.

    Those votes only would've mattered of they were all placed within NC, MI. OH, PA, FL and WI collectively. Which was not the case. So stop blaming 3rd party voters who still exercised their right to vote. It's more complex than that.
