you mean from California and the illegal nation voting? yeah, California doesn't represent the rest of the nation, that's why we have 51 independent elections for President every 4 years, one for each state and D.C. but you democrats called in sick the day your public schools taught American Civics 101.

Oh, they are going to hang onto that one forever. Can you begin to imagine if Trump had lost ? It would have been those damn illegal voters, for sure.

Do they even realize how many illegals it would take to make any appreciable effect in the election ? Just like when they said the Dems were paying $1500 for each person who would vote twice ! Yeah, that would make a real dent in the results.

The answer is the HC was the first choice of the people, and DT was the first choice of the system.

Yeah, them pesky cities. Making them less equal will learn em good.

Long live affirmative action!!!

Sure, that's your system, and your business. But it isn't correct to say the people chose to put DT in power. Twas the system that gave DT the job.

The system is an anachronism protected by Constitutional clauses that make it untouchable without a full redo of the Constitution.

The makeup of the Senate is similarly compromised and not practically repairable.

So the choices are to do a new Constitution or live with it. There is no where near the overwhelming consensus that would be needed for a new Constitution though it may well happen one day.

Why Hillary & Obama lost? You do know that President Obama was not running for a third term and that he's been licking his chops to get on with his private life, right?
