Is this one of those Fake Liberal News sites???
Has to be, because the author obviously never took Civics 101 in Junior High.

Look up demagogue in the dictionary and you will see Obama’s picture.
Trump is just an alpha male. Obama is a passive aggressive S.O.B.

I remember reading a bunch of articles about the Constitution was a faulty document from the start and is irrevelant for todays world. Of course that was in the middle of the Obama administration.

"Donald Trump has been described as our “President-elect.” But many would be shocked to learn that this term is actually legally meaningless." UNLESS it involves a Socialist Democrat, of course:

Or, so a few big states can’t force a dictator like Hillary on the rest of the states.
The Constitution was written to stop an individual demagogue from doing damage if/when one was elected - checks and balances, state’s rights, impeachment, 10th amendment, etc. The electoral college was to stop the majority (big states) from imposing their will on the minority (little states).
The Constitution will work if Trump is as bad as libs say. The electoral congress did work in 2016.

The electoral college was to stop idiots like the one who wrote this drivel.

The Electoral College was created to stop Demonized Necromancing Witches from putting a spell over the big city mob and taking office. Thank God the electoral college helped normal America dodge this bullet!

TIME is one of those “fake news” sites we’ve been hearing about. Nothing but anti-America propaganda.

No, the Electoral College was a compromise to prevent the most populous states from selecting the President, leaving the less populous states with no say in the choice.
Hillary didn’t build a coalition of states. She tried to campaign in and make promises only to populous states like CA and NY. Therefore, she lost.
In other words, the EC is working exactly as intended.

No, the electoral college was created to preserve a voice for all of the people outside of the huge cities.
The writer is an unmitigated idiot.
