	Hillary had more votes.
	More human beings voted for Hillary.
	This isn't fair.
	We didn't get one vote.
	You didn't get a vote.
	It's just like back in the day when your vote was one third.
	The Electoral College, here's somebody who wants to blow that up.
	You want to get rid of Electoral College?
	Just count the votes.
	It's ridiculous.
	Hillary, you're a lawyer.
	Walk in.

	I believe in you, Hillary.
	I've been to Rwanda.
	I've been to your hospital in Rwanda.
