You are aware (of course they are!) that Bill Clinton won the presidency with 43% of the popular vote in 1992. This means 57% of voters did NOT want Bill Clinton to be the President. In 1996 he managed 49% but still less than a majority.
So how is it Bill Clinton managed to become president, then stay president? HMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
He got 370 electoral votes by winning 32 states and DC. George H.W. Bush got 168. Ross Perot, although he got almost 20 million popular votes, got 0 electoral votes.
Whoops.
