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.

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.

Besides, the popular vote does not determine who wins the election.
When the Democrats take the House and the Senate they will have to consider some changes to the Constitution

Remember, if Trump gets removed from office, Mike Pence becomes president.

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.

Don't let that stop them from looking for one, even if they have to make it up.
