How can somebody win the popular vote but lose the electoral vote?

Yes it is possible

Explanation:

So you can win the popular vote as in the one we can all vote in. So most Americans in this case will like you. However the electoral is like the "elite and experienced politicians" who vote. They made this to prevent a dumb majority. You can argue whether this is a dumb thing because it could be. But it pretty much states that we do not trust what most Americans think. We only trust a few. These few can still be influenced by the majority though.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
