So hypothetically if (in 2020) Trump wins the popular vote but losses the the college to his Dem Rival, Are the same outraged Democrats going to come out in Trumps defense and complain their own candidate is now illegitimate? And are absolutely NO Reps going to use the same argument that system is unfair?
No of course not. And the predictable accusations of hypocrisy will fly in both directions.
Those kinds of interchangeable 'hack' arguments are not grounded in any kind of principle.
I'm not a big fan of Trump either, the but the 'electoral college/popular vote argument' against him is a massive load of old bollocks.
he won the electoral college so he won the presidency. Any objection simply translates as:
'The system must be unfair if it didn't deliver the result I wanted'
Sorry but, that is the reasoning of an infant.
