Thank God the founders had the wisdom to dream up the electoral college.

My feelings exactly; the founding fathers were wise enough to prevent large states with mega-cities from dominating the rest of the country.

And the irony is, the Dems had expected it to be flipped - i.e., that Trump could win the popular vote, but Hillary would be saved by her Blue Wall in the Electoral College.

How long will it be before we start hearing calls for abolition of the EC again?

My guess is the Dems will wait a few months for the public to forget, before they try to gin up the anti-Electoral College hue and cry ... again.

Trump was smeared by the establishment news media and vastly outspent by the left wing billionaires. The popular majority was an unwitting tool of this power.

“Thank God the founders had the wisdom to dream up the electoral college.”

Just because you said it first doesn’t mean I can’t say it too.
