After pretty much picking apart his faulty points, he said, “Well we should get rid of the electoral college.”

Man oh man....that’s some logic right there huh? Because your guy didn’t win, let’s just change how we elect people until he does.

Its no accident ‘get rid of the electoral college’ was basically the first public utterance by newly elected Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

If you think about it, you’ll see this over and over again from the left.

Conservative thinkers are process/rules oriented. As long as everyone observes the rules, the outcome is inherently fair, because the winner(s) just played the game better.

Liberal “thinkers” are outcome oriented. The winner(s) must be X, or more importantly, not Y - so we need to adjust the rules to make this happen (affirmative action, electoral college, progressive taxation).
