If you look in the first column that indicates how the "head of state" is elected you'll see a whole lot of "direct election". Only the USA and Pakistan elect their head of state with "indirect election".

Sure wish the donald was the president elect of Pakistan rather than the USA

In addition to my last post, I have to say that you raise a good point. Fareed Zakaria did a segment on the Westminster system, and how it helps avoid political gridlock.

We have a better chance of getting to a national popular vote based on state rights than we have getting to the Westminster system.

I think they don't know what to do at the moment so they are just falling back on assaulting and keeping the people stressed out until they figure it out.

HRC, the wicked witch of the West (Pelosi) and her demon spawn daughter are trying to cast doubt (Russia fantasy) in the minds of the Electoral College.

They are gambling that if they can make some Electors break their oath and cast votes for Hillary instead of President Trump they have a chance at stealing the election.

If successful, they know it would cause chaos in this country and Obama could stay in office for a while longer or the current Obama Regime Congress could vote HRC in as President.

If the Dems and liberal media continue with this evil behavior, their swords shall enter their own hearts and they will lose even more Congressional seats in 2018!

Yep, let's be clear here, the White House has declared all out war on Trump, politicizing his "Russia, if you're listening . . ." remarks as something other than tongue in cheek. Disgraceful worms.

But yet here he is appointing how many goldman sacks to his cabinet....3. The middle class is screwed.

News flash Hillary has conceded her defeat and has left the building however some people had so much fun satiating their addiction to hate by trashing Hillary they will continue to trash Hillary for the next 4 years.

After putting up with her Crookedness for 40 years she deserves a few months of trashing.
She is a very unliked person and has earned that reputation.

She should take the high road and come out with a statement about accepting the election as she did when she thought she was winning. Dems are playing dirty politics thus it's time to fight back.

All this Recount and Russian BS is just being Sore Losers and to de-legitimize Trumps Presidency.

Elaborate on this crookedness label she seems to have earned.
She conceded the election to Trump what more do you want?
Dems playing dirty tricks? kinda like the repubs have been doing for the last 8 years to delegitimize Obamas presidency?
All this Recount and Russian BS is a media generated issue not a Clinton generated issue.
As far as her being disliked? thats your opinion.

Thoughts?
Republicans/Trump won the election and Democrats/Hillary lost the election what logic are you using to think Hillary has the remotest chance to now become President?.
