There are 3,141 counties in the United States.
Trump won
3,084 of them.
Clinton won
57.
There are 62
counties in New York State.
Trump won 46
of them.
Clinton won
16.
Clinton won
the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes.
In the 5
counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well
over 2 million more votes than Trump.
(Clinton only
won 4 of these counties, Trump won Richmond)
Therefore
these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular
vote of the entire country.
These 5
counties comprise 319 square miles.
The United
States is comprised of 3, 797,000 square miles.
When you have
a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it
would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those that encompass a
mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election.
Large,
densely populated Democrat cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc.) don't and shouldn't
speak for the rest of our country.
