Trump lost the popular vote because Cruz, Jeb, and Rubio, criticized him during the primaries
What I can't understand is how Obama won the general election in 2008 after Hillary criticized him during the primaries.
P.S
A 2010 study in Public Opinion Quarterly found that in the 2008 election 25 percent of those who voted for Clinton in the Democratic primary ended up voting for Republican John McCain, rather than Barack Obama, in the general election.
