Bill, It's called the tyranny of the majority and the electoral college exists to mitigate that tyranny.

It goes both ways.....every time it's close, it's possible the vote count will or won't go your way. Had Trump won the popular and Hills the College, pretty sure you guys would be defending the Electoral College about now. And you are correct, it was close.

I think the predictions of the demise of the Dems and their socialist philosophy of late, stem more from the Republican strength at the state levels in this election cycle along with the opportunity Trump will have in nominating Supreme Court Justices during his term. It's not so much about either the popular vote count or the electoral college.

The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia
