doesn't matter. Like you mentioned, he won in the Electoral college; that
is ALL that matters... it keeps a bunch of a-holes in NY and CA from
picking the president.



Nice. I suggest you go find bigotry red-neck island and leave this group.

Do you always try to get rid of people who think differently than you
do "luminos." "Luminos" sounds related to lumination, to give light,
you might consider changing your name to "black out."

Without pointing any fingers or being political I would recommend to
everyone to read the Constitution of the United States. Also read the
writings of Jefferson and Franklin on this subject. They saw democracy
as the death of a country so created our Constitutional Republic. The
public vote (or mob rule) was never intended to elect our Federal
leaders. This way large population centers can not dictate what the
rest of the people, who they can't identify with, what to do. The only
change I would suggest would be "One state, One vote" and that would
take an act of congress and an amendment to the Constitution.

Popular votes are(were) delegated to local politics where the people
live and work and are(were) intended as such. The Constitution is very
specific on this point.

Hate to toss a bunch of water on a nice flamewar, but Red's in Canada.
Whatever the state of his employment, it has very little to do with the state of
the US healthcare, judicial, or electoral system.

Y'all carry on, now.
