WTS, I know what you're saying, but over 2 years later, can we accept how we elect a POTUS?
The last two Republican candidates lost their first bid at being POTUS by the popular vote, but still assumed office.
Sure, maybe that's a coincidence. Or maybe it's just a reflection that the system doesn't genuinely reflect the will of the people.
It does seem to matter a bit more with the power people have given to the Executive branch. When the POTUS is going to claim he's authorized to use executive actions because he's working off the will of the people... but the same guy lost the popular vote... it's kind of silly.
