13 states can decide the Electoral vote, why should anyone believe the possibility of discarding the votes of
the residents of 37 other states is a good thing?

We've allegedly fought wars to bring democracy to other countries, about time we bring it to our own. One man, one vote.

Have anything factual supporting that statement or just a blind faith 'Trump is our savior' line of PR BS?

Haaar! A brit being scolded about 'dignity and disrespect for office' by an American. The obvious irony is astounding.

I should say enough land mass to vote this idiot into office because the actual PEOPLE did not.

People should vote - not land mass.

One person; one vote.
Indeed. States with more prairie dogs and rattle snakes than people get 2 Senators too.

Allowing big city metro areas to control the entire country was not the intent of how Presidential elections should work. Remember the Federal government was conceived as WEAK, and the States as Strong. The States elect the President, not "the country".

Our President is no longer going around the world apologizing for our country. That in itself creates more respect than previously.

And by the way, there are no grounds for impeachment now, nor are there likely to be. There were numerous grounds for impeachment of President Obama. Numerous!

I'm sensing massive quantities of "buyer's remorse" on these boards.

I don't see that. Trump is just trying to implement what he campaigned on.

They played him so well. The great dealmaker was taken in by bling and parades, and at the expense of a bit of pageantry, the Saudis scored a major coup in their privste little feud against a neighbor. No wonder the State Department is collapsing.
Where did you get all that from, CNN? LOL!!!

Why didn't your republican congress do it then?

I'll wait for Mueller to finish his investigation. Many prosecutors seem to agree there's a case to be made for obstruction of justice. Where'd you get your law degree?

Do you speak to people in other countries much? The number one question I've gotten about Trump's election is "why?". Our allies are fed up, except for Trump's friend Bibi who is probably just as big a scam artist as trump. But no worries, China is happy to take the economic lead we've walked away from.
