The problem with the electoral college here is it puts overemphasis on certain states and other states are not given their fair share. States like Iowa and Ohio are overrepresented in this country, while California is grossly underrepresented. Republicans will claim it's to keep it fair. How is that the case? We need one of the popular vote, like most other western countries. No, I'm sorry but this electoral crap just doesn't cut it anymore.

For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

Everybody knew the rules of the game when it started. Blame Hillary for not playing the game, not the system itself.
The fault is hers alone, and not the electoral college.
Sure, I hate the electoral system, but I'm not going to whine about simply because a candidate lost but won the popular vote. It's not the first time, it probably won't be the last time, but it is the rules, so deal with it.Keep on Civin'

And yes, I will believe what I want.
I had some predictions right in the past and some not. That's the nature of the game.

Read the rule book, popular vote counts for nothing.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Go for it... try to change the Electoral College... good luck with that. Are you predicting that's going to happen?
As far as this election goes, it's over. That Hillary got a percent or two more votes than Trump is meaningless to the election.
On another note, It's kind of sad how the liberals blasted Trump when he indicated he might not accept the results of the election... but now they are rioting, claiming he's not their president.Keep on Civin'

He isn't my president and he will never represent me. I don't condone violence though. Planning for 2018 and ultimately 2020 seems to be the most optimal way going about it. If this country still exists by then.
And as far as predictions, I been right and wrong in the past.
