We are a constitional republic, not a constitional democracy. Hillary and many politicians get this point wrong all the time.

There is no way that was a concession speech.
It sounded like an acceptance speech - modified.

A great paradox of the Populist call that directly elected Senators would reduce corruption and the power of the business interests is the fact that state legislatures which appointed senators were democratically chosen at the local district level. So local democracy in the Pooulist argument produced corrupt results. Why would state wide democracy be better?

""but it is important for you to understand that our citizen involvement is limited—and for a very good reason""

What part of "We the PEOPLE"" doesn't she under stand.

Funny he mentions Scalia, because he regularly referred to America as a “democracy”. In practical use, “democracy” has become shorthand for a democratically elected republic, which is how Scalia used it.

This is why, as the National Education Association gained power in the 70s, US History and Civics was dropped and replaced with Social Studies and Humanities.

Look, republic or democracy is just a matter of practicality. We do democratically elect our representatives and they are to act within the laws. Clearly they did not understand the limitations of their scope. And the DNC especially, tried to break from the shackles of the electorate. Like a genie escaping the limitations of his lamp, politician thought they could buy the electorate and sell the government to the highest bidder both here and a broad.

This is what the election was about. A rejection of big money. A rejection of politicians who think their scope is beyond their constituency and the limitations of their office.

Democracy rhymes with Democrat. That simple.
No Democrat can correctly say we’re a republic, because that rhymes with Republican.
“...and to the republic for which it stands.”
Can’t spell liberal without lie.

The more violent the left gets, the larger the protests, the more the media will seek to deflect blame from them. This will only widen the gulf between people which i suppose makes good headlines and great video on the 6 pm news.
Its good to have a president who won’t let them get away with avoiding responsibility for causing strife.

Victoria Jackson and friends are correct that we need the electoral college to counterbalance the popular vote. We’d have to hail Hillary Clinton and the perpetuation of corruption if not for that being our system. The small states and the large ones with small populations (fly-over country) would have no voice without it.

“How big is a stack of one trillion dollar bills?
A:
QUICK ANSWER
A stack of one dollar bills equals $100 and measures .43 inches high, which means that $1 trillion dollar bills would stack to a height of approximately 67,866.16 miles. The moon is about 238,855 miles from the Earth, which would require a stack of $3.5 trillion dollar bills to reach. “
