Millions of Americans remember the sinking feeling they had on November 8, 2016 when—against virtually all predictions—then-Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump defeated Democratic nominee and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to clench the presidency.

It's likely that many of them watching the results asked, "Could this defeat be any worse?"

According to editor of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, David Wasserman, it can.

A notable aspect of the 2016 presidential election results is that Clinton won the popular vote by over 3 million votes, yet Trump won the electoral college and subsequently the presidency. Wasserman says it's not out of the question for Trump to lose the popular vote by an even greater margin while still winning the presidency by one electoral vote.

Read Wasserman's scenario below:

The only times in modern history that a candidate has lost the popular vote, yet still ascended to the presidency are in 2000 with Republican George W. Bush and in 2016 with Republican Donald Trump. It's led many to call the electoral college outdated and call for its abolishment.

People were disturbed by the scenario Wasserman laid out.

Gird your loins. Get to work.

Hillary Clinton Epically Calls Out 'Disgraceful' Trump For Working With Putin Against Ukraine: 'He Has Betrayed The West'

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized President Donald Trump and his administration during an exchange at the Munich Security Conference over the weekend, saying Trump has "betrayed the West" with his "disgraceful" handling of Ukraine.

In particular, Clinton called out Trump's often deferential attitude toward Russian President Vladimir Putin, who invaded Ukraine in a "special military operation" in 2022. Clinton said that not only are Putin and Trump "profiting" off Ukrainian "misery," Trump is also looking to Putin as a "model" of what a leader can be, effectively betraying Western values.

Past model contestants have already gone public about their time on the show, but now, people from behind the scenes, like one of the show's photographers and judges, Nigel Barker, the creative director, Jay Manuel, and judge and runway coach Miss J. Alexander, have all come forward with their experiences, and the history might be darker than we ever expected.
