The electoral college needs to go, its broken and only serves to disenfranchise voters

    you have to look at total counts to see the votes did not count the same, Hillary got millions more votes then Trump but still lost... Sad!

    It's caused by mental illness and drug and alcohol abuse and city and state government which facilitate it.

    In which state election? Your vote in your state has nothing to do with someone else's vote in another state.

    Thank God we did. Obama 's policies turned this country into a service/part time economy. Economist had given up on America ever being a manufacturing nation again. Trump knew America couldn't continue to be a world economic and military power in jobs like that. We were headed to being a third world nation under Obama's policies.

    I wonder if these constitution loving republicans will go against Trump if he loses the election and refuses to leave calling it rigged and calling on his base to make sure he says in power?

    He claimed the popular vote was rigged so not that far off, why is it so hard to say you would stand up for the peaceful transfer of power. Unless its not about democracy but about keeping white men in power.

    I remember Hillary saying she wonders if Trump will except defeat if he loses. Do you think Hillary has? I don't know how Trump can lose if people look at what all he has done and the stupid things the Democrats want to do. It should be a no brainer. Trump has done an outstanding job.

    I have not claimed I would not stand up for peaceful transfer of power. I am just not dumb enough to fall for some hypothetical nonsense.

    If he said it when HE won that the popular vote was rigged why would he not say it when he loses?

    Because it seems that using US Intelligence agencies to spy on and make up a phony dossier seems acceptable to some. Why not do that?

    Did you read my reasons for the system we have now? Can you deny what I said? We could have never put together a 13 state nation on a popular vote. It would never be fair to the smaller states. They would have no say in government at all. No state would join knowing they would never be able to elect the people who make the laws governing them.

    That you can not simply answer "Of course I will stand for democracy" but instead keep coming up with excuses says a lot.
    Mitch McConnell has refuses to protect our elections by bringing the bi-partisan bill to the floor.

    Trump and Mitch are ruining the US political system and the Republicans continue to support them knowing if any of this stuff happened on the other foot and democrats were doing this, you guys would be taking up arms.
