Just look at her numbers: In 2012, Barack Obama won 65.4 million votes against Mitt Romney (who got 61 million votes). In 2008, Obama won 69.6 million votes against John McCain (who got 60 million votes).
Hillary Clinton only received 60.9 million votes, slightly more than the 60.4 million votes Donald J. Trump received.
