It really was a landslide. Not even close.
Can you imagine if he gets even more electoral votes in 2020 than he did in 2016 and loses the popular vote by even more than he did in 2016, people's heads will continue to explode!

Actually there was lots of complaining when President Bush won in 2000.

Yes, let the people who live in places with dookey and needles all over the sidewalks rule over the rest of us.
Not necessarily true. When a President from either party wins by a big majority, the electoral college doesn't do much to change things. It's only when there is a very tight election that the importance of the electoral college emerges.
There have been many elections where the winner won by a large margin in the past. Both parties have shared similar victories many times. And it's the Senate that is supposed to be the population equalizer, not the Administrative Branch.
All our Representatives and Senators are elected by one man, one vote. So are all our state representatives and Governors, our county representatives, and our city representatives. All are elected by one man, one vote.
A case can be made for doing the same thing with our only exception; only the Presidency is indirectly elected.
Those people who live in the places with the dookey and needles deserve the same right to vote as you do. On any given election, you could fully agree with them as who to vote for.
Eliminating the electoral college would do one big thing- if it was gone, every fly-over state that exists now could be the one that decides the election. No candidate could afford to skip any state or ignore a state with a low population any longer.
Great idea. The electoral college is a system that doesn't make sense anymore given our increasingly urban population. One person, one vote. The concept seems pretty simple to me. Besides, if Congress believes eliminating it is a bad idea, the bill will fail and it won't matter anyway.
Idiotic idea. It IS one man (elector), one vote (in the Electoral College).
