... with Hamilton Electors, the will of the people still loses out.

We need to get rid of the electoral college all together, period. We the People are supposed to be the electors.

I would also add, that I heard Eric Holder comment recently he is taking up this cause. He said it will require both the house and senate to pass a constitutional amendment, and then, 3/4 of the states must ratify it.

My my! What a purist!
So much more righteous than so many of us fools who voted for Hillary because she actually had a chance to keep Trump from being Emporer for life. But I am sure he has a clear conscience.
Right Cenk?

Vote for some unnamed republican president? Trust republicans not to screw the country? This is just another shitty way that the republicans can have a do-over. They screwed up with the Trump nomination and we are just to suck it up? The logical solution is Hillary since she won the popular vote.

Of course, I would want Hillary but if it has to be a republican, my choice would be John Kasich!
