These rules were set up by the establishment to deceive the regular American Joe that is not a political junkie!!!! They the establishment feel they know what is better for us than WE do!!! You may be a little correct that Trump should have hired people to do this crap, however I look at it as WHY IN TNE HELL should someone HAVE to be a LAWYER to figure this out!!! I KEEP going back to the fact that our FOUNDERS (remember them) wanted everyday business people and citizens to run this nation!! The DAMNED ESTABLISHMENT lawyers and insiders have made the process impossible for this to EVER happen!!! Most Americans do NOT understand this corrupt biased system and it SHOULD NOT be this way!!! Trump is AWAKENING America and for that I am VERY GREATFUL!!!
The Founders never intended for the common citizen to have any direct participation in the presidential elections at at all. The system was originally set up so that it was completely run by "the establishment". The members of the Electoral College were chosen by the state legislatures, and they were the ones who voted for President.
