No they don't.

Hillary Clinton lost the election but is winning the popular vote

Yes, they do. Click my link, and click "Popular Vote" tab. They are projecting him as the winner. She is winning currently, but he is the projected winner.

On both sides, how much does this matter at this point? The vote was pretty evenly split. How is this going to affect how you act going forward? There's no mandate on either side, nor was there likely to have been if Clinton had won the election.

It matters insofar as one side is asserting that the results are less valid because the people did not choose Trump. It's the same electoral/popular argument that happens every election that there's a split. The argument does not apply if it did not happen here this time.

No, they don't. Look at your own link. Clinton is up by nearly 400,000 votes.

At the time of my post, it was accurate. Proof http://i.imgur.com/4AWBt2N.png
