    I recently saw these comments regarding the electoral college:

    "The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy. This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy! Our nation is totally divided! The world is laughing at us. Our country is now in serious and unprecedented trouble...like never before

    Lets fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice! We can't let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty."

    Do you support this guy, or not?

    If you support him, you should sign these petitions:

    Petition 1

    Petition 2


    If you do not support him, you should sign these petitions:

    Petition 3

    Petition 4

    Yes, Trump did call for revolution in 2012, after Obama won the Electoral College but was losing the Popular vote,.

    I think if they do their own thing they need to scrap both choices picking a basic boring GOP option that is safe for president and take Sanders as VP, this way both parties get something.

    Whoa, there, pard. I doubt we are going to be a republic much longer unless the will of the people starts taking precedence over the will of the steers.

    Good luck with that, you would need to amend the constitution and strip state rights, right? That won't fly with the strict requirements to make a change.

    Hillary won the Popular vote. That was the will of the People.

    No one has actually won the Electoral College yet.

    No the will of the people is reflected in the 50 state elections and DC.

    I guess you missed it. The people spoke but what they said didn't matter.
