the electoral college like the Bill of Rights might have been created in part to protect the rights of the minority?

Have you seen Trumps appointees so far? He's not exactly taking the moderate path. We're looking at an ultra-right wing government that the majority doesn't want.

there will be another election. Any mistakes from this one can be corrected. That will be a lot easier than a change to the constitution.

vs. modern thinking population centers?"

That might be part of the problem right there.

As for "the people" protesting, making DEMANDS! and marching on Washington--well, "the people" include the ones who have elected an overwhelming number of R governors and state legislatures. If you think protests are going to get you something you can't get at the ballot box, I think you're a little misguided.

repuke control = DISASTER

with GWB we got the worst terrorist attack in American history, senseless wars, endorsement of torture, a crashed economy, a drowned city, the loss of respect from around the world - I dread to think what President DONALD FUCKING TRUMP will give us

My Dog! He hasn't even been inaugurated yet, and he's caused a crisis with a nuclear power!!

But, this is reality: It would take a Constitutional amendment to eliminate, or even change, the Electoral College. If (big IF) an amendment could pass in a Republican-dominated Senate AND House, it would need to be ratified by 3/4 of the states, within a stated period of time.

Have you checked the map lately? Republicans now hold 33 governorships and 32 state legislatures.

Do you really think they would vote to abolish their only chance of EVER holding the Presidency EVER again? Do you really think a march on Washington would change their minds?

EVERY RATIONAL PERSON KNOWS THIS.......we will keep trying, because we cannot continue to put UNQUALIFIED PEOPLE INTO THE WHITE HOUSE.....so yes, people need to keep speaking out, KEEP PROTESTING THESE FASCIST BASTARDS

I think they should start with VOTER SUPPRESSION and GERRYMANDERING, which heavily favor conservative assholes

9-11 may end up looking like a party compared to what is probably coming

I'm just waiting for a dirty bomb attack, more anthrax, a mass poisoning of our food/water supply etc. Then he'll have all the justification he needs to go to way with some country.

Because she doesn't want to have to live like this and would rather die if that's what it comes to. - this is a woman who lived through the Depression, WWII etc..

those warmongering pieces of SHIT can be HIRED BY TRUMP

At least GWB seemed like a sane individual even though I didn't agree with his politics, and thought he wasn't up to the job.

Trump seems >50% insane sometimes, and is literally filling all of his cabinet positions up with the worst human beings you can find. He might do okish until he has a legit crisis to deal with, but all bets are off when that happens. It's also likely that his policies could lead to another financial meltdown.

We have ZERO checks and balances right now after he finishes stuffing the supreme court with Scalia 2.0's. We'll basically be at the mercy of whatever these demented politicians want for America.

are totally underhanded, now they have aligned themselves to tea partiers, white supremacists, fascists, and the list goes on and on.

They are parasites, they only care about themselves, the jerks who voted for tRump will have buyers remorse, they will never admit it though they will blame someone else.

I will never call that man pResident. I would love the Media to admit to the american people we are a fascist country everyone in the world knows we are now. But our media will follow their orders.
