Donald Trump actually said...

"The Electoral College is actually genius in that it brings all states, including the smaller ones, into play. Campaigning is much different!"

"If the election were based on total popular vote I would have campaigned in N.Y. Florida and California and won even bigger and more easily"

"If it ever were overturned, it would go back to the state."

"I have pledged to appoint judges who will uphold the constitution, to protect your religious liberty, and apply the law as written."
