This is a complete Red Herring - if we did not have an electoral college in the country (which will never be overturned BTW) the whole campaign strategy would have changed and Trump would have focused on the population centers just as Hillary did. I am no Trump fan, but am even less a Hillary fan, but detest the weak excuses used by the losers in the last two republican wins. Take a look at how many Democratic seats across the country that have turned since Obama and you will see that their own party cannot tolerate them.
