And you know it.
Fact is that not even every fifth citizen eligible to vote, voted for Trump, if I recall it correctly. clinton got more votes.


the whole concept of electoral college today is obscur and dubios. it allows minorities to defeat majorities and thus destroys the very idea of majority voting.



nothing in that system to be celebrated as holy and best of the best. its one of the worst and most corrupted systems i know. additionally to the parties own level of inherent corruption.
It does not matter. The game is not played by the number of votes. Trump was playing the correct game and won. I have no idea what Hillary Clinton was playing. At the end of the day, no matter how obscure or whatever..the electoral college serves a purpose.
