Without the Electoral College, neither George W. Bush or Donald Trump would have won their first term.

Shut up CBS! Clinton thought she had the Electoral College in the bag. She knew that she would be plus tens of thousands of fraud “popular” votes. The libtards always want it both ways. Thank God the founders were smarter than Americans of today and that we AREN’T a democracy but republic.
Donald took the constitutional “center of mass” shot and pretty much bulls-eyed.
While it will be tempting for Donald to put on a “You’re Fired” show a la The Apprentice, the lefties will prevent this from being politically practical. If Donald did this, they’d find the biggest sob story they could and paint him as a monster worse than the Incredible Hulk. He’s probably going to do it quietly, and let the newspapers decide whether to headline the story “YOU’RE FIRED.”
That damned Constitution got in the way of their plans again!!

I’ll add, Americans want a new tax plan.
Without the Electoral College, California and New York would rule the entire nation.
Adjusted for illegal aliens and voter fraud and Trump wins by at least a million; maybe 2 million.”””
When Obama took office, the number of illegals in the USA was pegged at 20 million. Gradually, those numbers were stated lower & lower and the populace bought it with a figure of about 11 million. This figure was just as fraudulent as the unemployment numbers that Obama has been shoving down our throats for the last 8 years-—which are totally fraudulent.
I think that the number of illegals here in the USA now is far higher-—2 million might be the number of MS-13 members ALONE.
I start with the early 70’s, when the accepted number of illegals was stated at 20 million & was not challenged.
ADD to that number the vast numbers who invaded during the past 8 years under Obama, coming in literally ON THE ROOFS of railroad cars-—pics show us that fact.
ADD to the original 20 million the much higher birth rate of the Hispanics in the border states. In Los Angeles alone, the births in the LA General Hospital in the early 90’s was entirely Hispanics-—and they were indigent, but still able to keep reproducing-—at the taxpayers expense. So think in terms of 40++ years of a much higher birth rate, we have been invaded by an army of illegals.
I find very little, if any, evidence that there have been very many ‘self deportations’.
Therefore, I calculate that there are more likely 55 million illegals in the USA today.
I DO NOT personally recognize that running across the border when you have started labor & dropping your spawn here makes that baby a US citizen. The 14th amendment doesn’t say anything like that. The 14th amendment has been perversely twisted for a long time & that has to end.
SOOOO—with so many illegals here, I don’t think that ONLY 2 million voted illegally....more like 15 million would be a conservative estimate.
No matter what—we have to clean them out of the USA. The costs to the taxpayers is enormous. The taxpayers didn’t vote for this invasion & for the bills which accompany the illegals.
Your cbs link shows her losing the popular vote as well.
California needs to be broken up. It is too big and too many people are disenfranchised.
Not going to happen.
In stories that God writes, “impossible” is a banned word.
Trump may or may not have a mandate. But the republican party has all the seats of power. So mandate shmandate. Who cares.
The U.S. is a republic, not a mere democracy, and the electoral college, forcing presidential candidates to win a broad geographic spectrum of the country - winning the popular vote in more home districts - is an important part of keeping it a republic.
A nation is more than merely the number of its people. It is all the villages, towns, cities, counties and states that go to make up “the nation” - a confluence of people AND THEIR PLACES. A mere popular vote alone can never REPRESENT the nation as a whole better than does the numbers won in the electoral college count.
