Sometimes it is not the majority that decide about who will lead them but the minority that decides on their behalf for example The poetic justice of seeing Hillary Clinton , the 2016 popular vote winner who was denied her presidency in the electoral college, cast her electoral college vote today to make Donald Trump a one-term president is not at all lost on me. If it was the majority who decided then Clinton will have won in 2016, what do you say about majority decisions when it comes to power?
