The only flaw with democracy is that the majority is always wrong...face it and not to be NASTY..but the average earthly I Q is just above that of an ape... sometimes this system that is being dumped on might just be better than full blown democracy
Imagine 30 four year olds voting for a new teacher....and the platform of that teacher was that they all get candy for lunch. THAT is the Clinton campaign.
Look, I'm gonna be painfully honest. If Hillary won the EC and lost the popular vote, the outrage will be in reverse. We have the system that we have, and it's worked since 1787
The people here in the battleground state of North Carolina, where the Clinton campaign spent 10s of millions and endless amounts of time, certainly didn't choose her. She decisively lost the popular vote.
The only thing she was denied was her name going into the history books as anything more than Bill Clinton's wife.
I am glad she's off the TV now. Mute button was getting worn out.
You can call her whatever you want, but she's not going to be doing anything for you since she holds no power whatsoever. You'd be better off calling Miley Cyrus your president.
The libs will probably think that's a great idea.
I can see it now....... "Wrecking Ball for potus 2020".
Not only that, but they both knew the system and campaigned based on the system. Trump would have campaigned for the Popular Vote and not cherry picked states if the popular vote was the system -- so the popular vote argument loses a lot of meaning in that context.
The sour grapes is hypocritical.
Every 4 years the loser blames the Electoral College. Really tired of it. It's a political punching bag. If it's not violating the will of the people (left), it's big liberal states controlling 3/4 of the country (right)

Secondly, some one who calls a lawful group of the voters enemies (gun owners), who seeks to deny individual rights while employing majority rule, who disenfranchises hundreds of thousands if not millions of voters by allowing the primaries to be declared over while there are elections still to be conducted........
...........................really does not strike me as the People's President.
When is Hillary's inauguration for this made-up title?
