"Popular vote is not a thing" is maybe the problem. 
Yes, Democrats were dumb in 2004 to object to Ohio's electoral votes and the calls to have the EC reject Trump was unfounded, but crafting a system where the minority rules is a great way to lose legitimacy.
Presidential systems are already historically precarious but if you're building a presidential system where it becomes routinely easy for the minority of the country to win elections, it's not really that surprising some would take issue with that system.

They absolutely would win at some point (there is no forever in American politics), just not with the coalition they have now, and it would require soul searching about how to be a Conservative party that can get a majority of votes. But that would probably be a longer journey.
