CNN’s Tapper Zings Chris Coons: Popular Vote Issue ‘and $7.99 Will Get You a Latte; It Doesn’t Matter’

‘He won 306 electoral votes, including three traditionally democratic states’

TAPPER: “I had a feeling you would bring up the popular vote issue. That and $7.99 will get you a latte. It doesn’t matter. We have an Electoral College.”
COONS: “That’s true.”
TAPPER: “Donald Trump won 306 electoral votes, including in three traditionally democratic states: Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. And I guess the argument that we are hearing from Spicer is, 'Look, he won. He won not releasing his tax returns. He won with these global business entanglements and no promise that he would sever those relationships as president. Why would he be obligated to subject himself to laws that he is not subjected to as president?'”
