A Johnsen writes that the media misread the feelings of a majority of the American people by predicting a Clinton victory. But, as of this writing, Clinton has received more popular votes than Trump.
This seems to be the second time in the last five presidential elections that a Republican became president because he won the Electoral College vote and not because the majority of people voted for him.
