Kellyanne Conway's husband attacks Trump AGAIN as he mocks president for getting smaller percentage of the popular vote than Mitt Romney
Trump scolded Romney following the soon-to-be-senator's scorching op-ed, published Tuesday by The Washington Post.
'I won big, and he didn't,' the president tweeted.
Trump had Election Day support from 2 million more voters than Romney had four years learlier. But Mr. Conway, a persistent thorn in Trump's side, tweeted a barb about the comparatively smaller percentage of Americans who chose him at the polls.
'Romney got a *higher* percentage of the vote against a *much, much stronger* opponent who was (unlike you) a very popular sitting president,' he tweeted at Trump.
Mr. Conway was adding to the observation of a historian who noted that Romney won the support of 47.2 per cent of voters in 2012 when he lost to Barack Obama. Trump got 46.1 per cent in his victory over Hillary Clinton.
The American presidency isn't decided by raw vote totals, but by an Electoral College system that apportions 538 final votes among the 50 states and requires a majority of 270 to win.
Romney lost to Obama by a 332-206 margin, winning in 24 states. Trump defeated Clinton 304-227, beating her in 30 states.
Mr. Conway is a lawyer who is famous for trolling President Trump on Twitter despite his wife's professional role as one of his closest confidantes.
