The founding fathers wanted the president to be the president of the United States and not just the president of New York and California. The electoral college forces presidents to visit and actually give a shit about what the other 48 States want and need. Hillary won the popular vote in 2016 but lost in a landslide with the electoral college... One of the reasons was that she never stopped at other states... she just flew from New York and California repeatedly fund raising and campaigning ... Her husband Bill even said she should stop and talk to the peasants and pretend that you care.... She lost to a man who had no political experience... Trump made several stops and talked to the common folks... He said He loved his country... He loved it's citizens... and he'll spend every waken moment fighting for them... And that they'd be tired of winning... I said I'd loop back to Canada... Canada needs something like the electoral college, it has a popular vote... Reason being... most, if not all, elections are settled with only one or two Provinces... Ontario and sometimes Quebec ... As corrupt as Trudeau is... he'll stay in power, ad nauseam, because the residence of Ontario keep voting him in... they are drinking the Kool-Aid There... just saying IB Joe AKA Joe Schweier SysOp of Joe's BBS -=JoesBBS.com=- --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A46 2020/08/26 (Windows/64) * Origin: Joe's BBS, JoesBBS.com, Telnet:23 SSH:22 HTTPS:80 (1:342/201) .
