When you can give Pennsylvania and Michigan to Hillary and you still have 270 EC votes it is pretty overwhelming.
When you can give Pennsylvania and Michigan to Hillary and you still have 270 EC votes it is pretty overwhelming.I'm not sure I'd call it overwhelming. It is important to remember that, even if all the electoral college votes according to state wins (it won't in at least a few cases), Trump's lead in a few key states is not only small, but has been shrinking as the final vote counts have gone up. That hoopla over demanding audits in certain states? That's because the margin of victory is so slim that an error could hand Clinton the win in some situations.
I'm not expecting Clinton to win the election through audits, but Trump doesn't have the clear mandate from the people that you saw for Obama in 2008 and 2012.
The EC is an embarrassment to democracy. An absolute embarrassment. This system has to change.
We've never lived in a mob rule society.In a society where the majority rules I find the electoral college ripe for reform. I know it was created as a way to provide equal representation to states with lower populations but when the popular vote is so wide between the candidates then I believe that there should be some provisional rules that take precedence. In essence it silences the voices of far too many people and needs to be amended.
Trump has high energy though, Hillary has low stamina.It's also funny that Trump is older than she is.

Seriously though, Trump was relentless in campaigning you have to give him credit for having the stamina to do what he did at his age. No?

Yeah, he "barely" beat her in states that haven't been red since 88. Being able to lose two bigger states and still have enough EC votes is impressive whether you want to admit it or not.Take the actual count of votes in those states and realize that no, it was very, very small.
Everything before the "seriously though" was satire.Lol "low stamina."
You sound like a low t beta brilliant gentleman.

Do you want a quantitative analysis? He won 3 states that haven't gone red since 1988 and if he won only 1 of them he would still have won the presidency is something I call impressive.Why is it impressive?
Good thing the United States is a republic then. Direct democracy is no good.
I personally think the electoral college was written into the Constitution with good reason and I'd be pretty damn scared of changing that just because one side is pissed they lost, regardless of when or which side.
A variety of sources are reporting that margin, like this-I don't see a 2 million vote margin, how can a lead "surpass" 2 million when it hasn't reached 2 million?
"popular vote lead surpasses two million"
Is that with or without the 3 million+ illegal and erroneous votes for her?

Someone needs to tell the DNC that they can stop printing up those provisional ballots, they really aren't going to matter anyhow.
