TRUMP has about 70 more electoral votes and those are the votes we count.
That would mean that trump won with about a 15% margin which is actually
a pretty big win.
Recounting it just confirms that the TRUMP mandate is a big deal for
Liberals, because it won't turn the election and is only being attempted
to undermine TRUMPS mandate.
The Liberals own actions betrays their whining that TRUMP has no
mandate. If there were no mandate there would be no reason for any
recounts. There won't be a change in the winner. The Democrats only
hope was to turn one or two of than many States that voted for TRUMP and
that was a long shot at best.
It's kind of funny that Democrats own actions are confirming TRUMPS mandate.

argument to try to say that just because he won the election, it
doesn't mean he has any right as president to actually do anything.

electoral votes, and both sides played that game.
Campaigning and spending would have been completely different for a game
of popular vote. Smaller states could have ended up with neither
candidate setting foot there during the campaign.
My guess is that Hillary might have won in a popular vote contest, but
not necessarily by a big margin. For popular vote, Trump would have
thrown money at states like CA to up the number of votes.
With the electoral college system, it made no sense for Trump to spend
time/money in CA and still lose but by a smaller margin.
