I wrote this a few pages back ...
" The system is fixed. The media manipulates polls to make it look as if the person they favor is winning. They write articles against the person the people want. They write more articles telling you why the real favorite will never be president."
and after Trump has been leading by HUGE margins all this time .... I see this in the news today

The popular vote means diddly. The electorial college holds all the cards.
- In 1824 Andrew Jackson won the popular vote but got less than 50% of the electoral votes. John Quincy Adams became the next president when he was picked by the House of Representatives.
- In 1876 Samuel Tilden won the popular vote but lost the election when Rutherford B. Hayes got 185 electoral votes to Tilden’s 184.
- In 1888 Grover Cleveland won the popular vote but lost the election when Benjamin Harrison got 233 electoral votes to Cleveland’s 168.
- In 2000 Al Gore won the popular vote but lost the election to George Bush. In the most highly contested election in modern history, the U.S. Supreme Court stopped the Florida recount of ballots, giving Bush the state’s 25 electoral votes for a total of 271 to Gore’s 255.
