Sometimes elections are close, and other times they’re not.

However, even in the close ones, there is a winner.

If we disregard the winners of close elections because they were close, we might as well never have elections again.

The Electoral College was the standard going into the 2016 election. Both candidates knew this, even if their followers didn’t.

However, to claim this system invalid because your candidate lost under it is what is ultimately destructive to our system of choosing our leaders.

Don’t like it? Then fight to change it, but do not attempt to undermine the entire system’s RESULTS.

That, in reality, is what the Left is striving toward. They will call them elections, but they will be rigged, manipulated affairs that all but guarantee the “right” outcome.

The intensity of their attacks on our system clearly signals that.
