Well, why don't you explain how it's not even close.
Tut-tutting and hinting ominously doesn't cut it.
What exactly is your smacking problem, Frank? Did Grumpy Trumpy not fulfill your white entitlement? It's pinpricks like yourself (and Sprinty Boy with Goebbels) who don't know poo about politics much less America politics who always have loudest mouths.
I never was an fan of Hillary but something is fundamentally wrong with any system where the "winner" of an election gets 2.5 million (so far) LESS votes than the "loser" of the election.
The other thought that comes to mind is the idea that the so-called "founding fathers" actually intended the Electoral College as a "fail safe" to prevent somebody who was completely incompetent and thoroughly incapable of holding the office from being inaugurated. While it would be tempting to apply that idea to Reagan or Bush - at least they allegedly had served as governors, so on paper, they were "qualified".
Grumpy Trumpy is not. Day by day his inane cabinet picks are proving exactly how much of a incompetent asshole he is. It's not simply that he's nominating scab rag right wing extremists, it's that he is nominating them for jobs they are not remotely qualified for. They are nothing more than Wall Street crooks - the same type of crook Grumpy Trumpy called Clinton as being.
This is EXACTLY the type of situation the Electoral College allegedly exists for. Let's hope they act accordingly. Don't pick Trump OR Hillary. Find an FDR Democrat or an Eisenhower Republican. Either one would be an improvement over this dayglo orange clusterbugger.
America needs to rotate its primary & caucus schedule every election cycle, instead of starting every election in corporate-dominated Iowa and tiny little rich bitch New Hampshire only to hit just about every shithole state in the ol' Confederacy all of which favors the most right wing nominees of either party.
Not to mention it lags way too long. Even your capitalist industrialized country has its entire election season over and done within a matter of weeks, or a few months at most. The US presidential election has now become a full two year process. This particular election cycle felt more like 10 years and in a lot of way, its still not over.
A 4 year rotation with all the primaries & caucuses should held 10 or 12 at a time, every weekend in April of election year, and they should be on the weekends, so most people will have the day off.
Extended voting hours from 6 AM to 10 PM to allow the most possible voting availability for those who have to work weekends, or those who have religious reasons which would prevent them from voting at certain hours of the day. Anybody who still can't vote within that schedule can get an absentee ballot, or vote by proxy in the caucus, if their own state party allows it so that this Trump poo never happens again.
That dayglo orange buggerer is an outright embarrassment and a genuine threat to humanity. I seriously wonder what pinpricks like yourself will be spewing when he inflicts the damage he is going to do to the world.
