The powers delegated to the Federal Government are few and defined. All powers not delegated are retained by the States.
The President is a representative of the States in International Affairs. That is his role. That's why we do not elect the President by nationwide "popular" vote. He is not a representative of the people. He is a representative of the States.
Guess what? The majority of States voted for Trump.
What are you talking about? Plenty of other first world countries have states (or provinces) and use a popular vote
I understand the sarcasm; but, they aren't "cute." They are pathetic. They are anti-American, too. Every one of these poor slobs belong with the ANTIFA and BLM crowd. They are domestic terrorists.

So people against The Cheeto are anti-American, but when you guys were against Obama, you were NOT anti-American? Did I get that straight?

You're calling ME uneducated? We are the only country in the world with an electoral college, FACT. We are not the only country in the world with states, FACT. You can look it up if you don't believe me......

It's your right to support mob rule, but that is not the way this nation was set up. The idea was that all the states, even the "little guys" would have a say in national affairs. It hasn't been perfect, but it has worked.

Yeah, and have you ever noticed that over the past 150 years, at least, people have come flocking to the US? I wonder why that is? Is it because the US is just like the place they wanted to leave or that it was different and they thought it might be better?
The electoral college is one thing this nation has or has had out of many that sets it apart from the rest of the world. And again, I haven't seen a lot of people flocking to countries like China or Paraguay or Finland, etc. Why is that? If the US is so damned horrible and it is set up so unjustly, why so many people standing in line to get here? And if it is so horrible, why haven't you moved to France or Kenya or Honduras yet? If they and their government structures are so much better...
So people against The Cheeto are anti-American, but when you guys were against Obama, you were NOT anti-American? Did I get that straight?
There is a big difference. I was anti-Obama for sure. No doubt. But, I was not anti-America-system. I was not in favor of scrapping the system because I knew that the system would give a chance for the "other side" to fight back. And it did.
The big difference is that I was anti-Obama-establishment and you are anti-American-system. All because you didn't get your way at the last election. Tough. I didn't get mine for the previous eight years. Stick it out like a grown up.

No there isn't, I am against the man. I could have stomached Kasich or Cruz

And you hate the man so much that you are willing to burn the entire house down and scrap the system?
