I at least found this interesting. There was a point made on 538 that while Hillary had California, Trump had Appalachiafornia. An amalgamation of various states which rival the amount of votes California gave Trump a comparable number of votes to the ones Hillary garnered in California.

As for the whole "Hillary won the popular vote" meme, I really don't care because she didn't even win a majority. For all we know, Trump could have won, had there been no third party candidates. Hell, Hillary wasn't even screwed as bad as Tilden. He actually won the popular vote and by the same margin as Hillary had. There's already historical precedence for this style of victory.

Clinton's loss is a result of Democratic self packing. It's bad for a large country to be so regionally polarized like this. As a result hopefully the Democratic party will step back and re-evaluate their message so they have broader appeal.
