Because everyone is a hypocrite, remember it wasn't that long ago when it was the Republicans (and Trump as one of the loudest voices) complaining about the EC when it looked like Obama could lose the popular vote while easily winning the EC.
- In 2008, Obama won the popular vote 52.9% - 45.7%, but won the EC 365 - 173.
- In 2012, Obama won the popular vote 51.1% - 47.2%, but won the EC 332 - 206.
