Hillary comfortably won the popular vote

Which is Not Even Wrong, for it implies the unknowable counterfactual that if Trump had been running a campaign for the popular vote, he wouldn't have won that. E.g. lots of people don't bother to vote when they're in "enemy territory" and they know their vote won't count for anything.

You can't take a situation based on X strategy, and then change the rules to Y strategy after the game has been played by X, and make anything more of it than a silly rhetorical point.

Are you arguing that there's no way Trump could have lost and there was incontrovertible evidence of that prior to election day or that Clinton did not win the popular vote by a wide margin? That's the extent of what I've contended here.

I don't care to discuss abstract hypotheticals, or whether this means Trump is wonderful or not.

Unless you're disputing in a roundabout way what I've presented there's no reason to be engaging in whatever you're doing.
