Your suggesting the football team with the most yardage should always win.
Play by the rules or lose. Clinton knew all the rules. As for Putin why would you care what he thinks our elections should be?
Now, enough politics. They frown on that here.
BTW, the USA is not a Democracy. It is a democratic Republic.
For the record; I was making light of 180's comments. I KNOW Clinton did NOT win (I did not support her) and I really have NO respect for Mr. Putin (as any sort of a humanitarian).
We are a country rightfully intended to be free from any political (religious, etc.) persecution and I would always defend anyone's right to free speech and their right to disagree.
However, I simply personally disagree with maintaining an archaic Electoral College system because: We the People elect ALL of our City, County, State and U.S. Congress Officials by the MAJORITY VOTE of the constituents of the areas they represent & rightfully so. Going forward, Our President is elected to represent & serve ALL American Citizens (not any particular States or groups) and therefore, should also be chosen By (All) The People. ( If so, maybe there would be more than our shameful low voter turnouts. My .02 since I first voted some 40+ years ago. BTW, love Dedwards sig. comment from G.Washington about political parties.)
Please forgive me again y'all, I am DONE with my soapbox.
