in a popular vote election the candidates would campaign differently. get the vote out, every single vote counts. Trump would still campaign better all over the country not just swing states. places like california, texas and NY would not be ignored as a forgone conclusion.

Look at Brexit. Remain won the cities and it wasn't enough.
