Perhaps you should reserve 'peckerwood' for Mr. Trump?
I freely admit Trump won the election according to the rules we all knew about and agree Trump is the PEOTUS.
But, I fail to see how anyone can consider it fair when all of a state's electoral votes are given to one candidate, even if the state's vote was 51%-49%. WHY should the votes of 49% of that state's voters count for nothing?
The only thing I see the EC accomplishing is attempting to avoid giving one group of voters too much influence by giving another group of voters too much influence.
The founders wisely made provision for amendment of the Constitution and I think it's past time for 'one man, one vote'. I hear people praise other countries we support with foreign aid $$$ for being true democracies, surely it's about time we become one ourselves.
The reason Trump got to win with less votes is constitutional affirmative action. Yes, the same concept that Republicans have railed against for years in which a lesser job candidate is given a boost so they can compete for a job. Obviously Trump benefited greatly from this form of affirmative action.
The reason Trump "got to win" is because of the system set up by the founders of this country. It is a fair system set up for this very purpose. It has been working since the beginning of this country. The founders knew better, The American way. Deal with it.
Liberals want to talk about 65 million voted for Hillary. Well, 63 Million voted for Trump. BFD!
Yes it was very clear indeed - by a margin of over 3 million HC was the preferred candidate for President and not what we got. In any other Country in the world she would be the president elect not what we got. The mandate was for her not him.
PSST! When you are playing a football game all the 3 pointer shots made beyond the line don't count.
You win or loose by the ESTABLISHED RULES OF THE GAME NOT what rules you WANT TO USE.
I did not hear liberals crying much about the electoral college before the Blue Wall tumbled down.
If popular vote was the determining factor campaigns would be run differently and the federal government would have a heavier role in governing voting in federal elections.

In case you haven't noticed, rules get changed all the time.

Hope his stupid little rant destroys his business. What a loser.
