When the republicans and Trump didn't let the electoral college change their vote to reflect the popular vote, they shit on the very core of what this country was founded on.
Government of the people, by the people, for the people. There should never be a president in this country that didn't win the popular vote.
They also told 2.9 million people their vote didn't count. All the "get out the vote" advertising was useless The right to vote is a right everybody in this country, and nobody has the right to decide what votes count and which votes don't count. Clinton had the most votes and she should be President, I don't give a rats ass about the electoral college or anything else.
Once again the Republicans have shown their party comes before this country or anything else.
What Lincoln was worried about when he wrote the Gettysburg Address has come to pass; Gov't of the people, by the people, for the people has perished from this earth.
The worst part is that we let them. How sad.
Had Trump won the popular vote and Clinton won the Electoral vote and occupied the White House, would you be making this argument? Would you be arguing that Trump should be POTUS?
For the future, we could get a constiutional amendment passed to eliminate or modify the electoral college, but Is there anything we could have done this time?
There were enough electors that weren't tied to a majority vote that could have changed their vote, but their loyalty was to their party and not the country. Sadly, I don't think so.
