The Election
Hillary won the popular vote, but the voters were in the wrong states, so Drumpf gets to play President. The ad hoc manner in which he is putting together a transition team shows his total failure to plan.
Republicans are claiming a mandate, but losing the popular vote makes that absurd. A majority of voters voted for someone other than Donald Trump.That means the majority of voters didn’t want him or his outline sketch of a program.
Obviously the gerrymandering that Republicans have been doing in the states after the 2000 and 2010 censuses give them a lock on Congress even though fewer people vote for them.
Clinton was sandbagged by the actions of James Comey, a nasty reminder of Hoover’s FBI interference. She should have expected this crap as there has been an organized campaign to defame the Clintons since their days in Arkansas. The media has never reported on them fairly, nor made any effort to present the truth.
Republican controlled states are removing probable Democratic voters for various alleged reasons and the effect was obvious in the numbers from Florida, Ohio, and North Carolina. Trump ‘won’ with fewer votes than McCain or Romney lost with.
Since the Electoral College is the only way Republicans can win the Presidency, it would be a waste of time to attempt dump this 18th century compromise/construct.
