    Never really understood why the Electoral system was made?

    Wouldn't more people go out to vote... if we elected the President of the USA on Popular Vote alone?

    I just feel your vote would be MORE IMPORTANT on Popular Vote alone.

    I don't understand how it's not possible to understand the electoral college. If it was the pop vote, they'd campaign in 5 cities for a year and a half.

    edit - trinity beat me to it

    Yep Hillary barely won the popular vote because of California.. I'm so ashamed because I live in California. My Trump vote didn't do shiiiit over here... ..

    I think most Republicans thought the electoral map favored Hillary and was rigged a bit, but in the end it saved Trump and the Republican Party from a loss... Oh the irony of it all!!!!

    It call technology buddy, get use to it. Darwin survive of the fittest. RedBox took out blocksters, digital download took out CD's sells, nothing is coming back to the USA. We are f..k economically just like the rest of the world due to overpopulation, it just hasn't caught up to us yet.

    Almost. We are f..k economically just like the rest of the world due to MINORITY overpopulation. Minorities fill the jails and the welfare lines. That is where a lot of our money goes. Solve that problem and we have plenty of money to operate this nation.

    Fukkin sore ass loser kids and their 8th place participation trophies

    first time in the social media era liberals have experienced a republican (by name) president. Boy does it show. People on my feed can't even muster up the energy to roll out of bed and look this mean ole world in the face. How about dealing with it like conservatives were told to do with Obama? Maybe don't blackmail one of your most popular candidates? The same thing happened 4 & 8 years ago but now the shoe is on the other foot. Going out on a limb, but the world will still be here in 4 years

    California is destroying themselves economically because they keep electing political Liberal morons like Governor Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown who think that being green is the most important thing in the world, even if that drives out all of California's industries. This is why California is in so much trouble. The Upper Middle class small business owners are being replaced by low income Hispanics.

    I like the electoral college. It is a sort of buffer for the country so that states don't totally dominate the election. You can't go into the game knowing the rules and then get bitter after you lost. All credit goes to Trump, he did it against some crazy odds.

    you are an absolute fugging idiot. The majority of our money does NOT go to poor minorities or poor ANYTHING. You can't understand why we are screwed economically? Look around. Who else is spending a ridiculous amount of money on defense and warfare?

    Trump had to take Florida, Pennsylvania, and Ohio...

    To Win.

    Didn't care what other states did... because if you could convince the people in these states... the other people would follow.

    And Trump did it. Simply amazing.

    Sanders would've rolled Trump but the dummy Dems wanted the feel good story over practicality. Backfired big.

    As someone who voted for him, not to sure about that...would've gotten called a socialist and atheist(even though he isnt) and that wouldve probably been enough to beat him. Plus he is also a career politician.

    No way he wouldn't have fared better in Ohio, PA, Wisconsin, and Michigan than Clinton did. Michigan and PA would have been clear wins as would NH. I happen to think Wisconsin would have been a lock as well. Plenty of white voters in WI would have voted for Bernie. That would have been enough
