The Constitution calls for an Electoral College Vote, which can over ride the POTUS popular vote!
When we the people go to the polls to "elect" a president, we are in fact voting for a particular slate of electors.
A candidate must receive a majority of Electoral College votes to be elected president.
The Constitution calls for this extra layer, due to "factions," which is defined as groups of citizens who would either violate the rights of other citizens or would harm the nation as a whole.
The Constitution is designed to ensure "that the office of President will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications."
The Electoral College is to preserve "the sense of the people," while at the same time "ensuring that a president is chosen "by men most capable of analyzing the qualities adapted to the station".
In the 2000 election the Electoral College did make it possible for a candidate to win the popular vote and still not become president.
Therefore, it seems likely The Constitution's Electoral College vote will not allow the Donald to be POTUS, not matter what the popular vote is!
