Gingrich: Clinton ‘forgot the Electoral College mattered’

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich mocked Hillary Clinton on Wednesday for failing to run a campaign focused on winning a majority of electoral votes, and said Clinton, the “so-called professional” in the race, lost sight of the Electoral College and seemed instead to focus on running up the popular vote.

“Ironically, the amateur understood the Electoral College mattered, the so-called professional forgot the Electoral College mattered, and that’s what mattered,” Gingrich said on Fox News.
