The Electoral College, brainwashed people who have lost their capacity for critical thinking , and Russian interference produced this distressing result. Oh and CrossCheck plus easily hackable voting machines.

The key was about 20% of voters who would vote for Alex Jones if Fox News wanted them to, they are hopeless and not worth the effort.

If we get past this, and Dems ever control it all again, they need to institute reliable foolproof voting procedures monitored by the Swiss or another neutral observer....and jettison the Electoral College. That should keep any other Trump like bozo out of the White House.

I've been trying to figure that out for the last 6 months Va Lefty May 2017 #1
