The electoral college should be eliminated. It's the peoples voices that should count
You're beating a dead horse. The constitution isn't going to change regarding this anytime soon. It doesn't matter what you think or want regarding this, and BTW your voice is heard everytime you vote.
Hard core base is expanding all the time. That's how.
Most intelligent people see right through this media campaign. Can you?
No, his base is not expanding because he choose not to reach out and unite our country. He has only divided us. And I'm not going to go there about intelligent or non intelligent people voting. But I will say it's not the media. Trump is his own worst enemy. This attack on the media is exactly what Nixon did and look how that turned out for him.

I don't know who you are talking to because my point was to someone who referenced Trump reflecting the electorate. It's a factual statement that he does not, because notwithstanding his electoral college win, he lost the popular vote. We all are aware that the popular vote does not determine who becomes president but it most certainly does reflect the electorate.
Not exactly...candidates (or at least the smart ones), do not campaign to win the popular vote. They campaign to win the electoral college. Hillary was too arrogant and stupid to do that. You campaign differently if you wanted to win the popular vote. You'd just go to big cities.
Trying to make Hillary look like a winner because she one the popular vote would be like a football team claiming that they had more 1st downs than the other team, even though they lost 3-56. Its ridiculous. Or someone running a race, and coming in last, but they zigzagged the whole route. And upon finding out they were badly beaten claiming "well I took more steps than the winner did!!!"

No but I for see a LOT of Constitutional amendments to avert Constitutional crises caused by Trump. I see two instantaniously being done. I for see strengthening the emoluments clause forcing a President to put their business holdings into a blind trust while they are in office. I also for see outright outlawing foreign campaign contributions.
Arguing about the Electoral College is off topic
Wasting your time on that
