America rejected mob rule at its founding.....I have believed and stated so on countless occasions that I think the EC should be abolished. It is not something new with me.But, of course, if Trump had won the popular vote, and lost the EC vote, then all would have been fine as wine - right?Neither party wants it so far. We lost the election in 2000 because of the EC. The Democrats need to push for abolition of the EC. I predict Trump will be a one term president and that in 2020 the presidency, the House and the Congress will go to the Democrats, and then we can get rid of the EC, as we should have done 40 or more years ago.We are a constitutional republic that elects representatives. An extent of that republicanism is that our EC elects the presidents. An amendment would have to change the process, and neither party wants such, despite what certain members of those parties may say.
