   Completely.   
      
   R U Canadian....   
      
   I was born and raised in British Columbia. I am Canadian.

   Does the electoral college do that? Currenly you have a president of red   
   states in spite of the red voters in blue states. Blue states are ridiculed as   
   anarchist states that should/will be defunded.   
      
   > The electoral college forces presidents to visit and actually give a shit   
   > about what the other 48 States want and need.   
      
   If that is so then the electoral college has failed. Donald Trump rarely   
   visits blue states.   
      
   Donald Trump will say anything but we all know what his words are worth.   
      
   > Hillary won the popular vote in 2016 but lost in a landslide with the   
   > electoral college...   
      
   That's what I mean. How can someone win the election by a landslide, and yet   
   the majority of voters did not vote for them?   
      
   > One of the reasons was that she never stopped at other states... she just   
   > flew from New York and California repeatedly fund raising and campaigning ...   
   > Her husband Bill even said she should stop and talk to the peasants and   
   > pretend that you care....   
      
   I am not a fan of Hillary. I didn't watch the election or what she said/did.   
      
   I do know that Hillary got 2.9 million more votes than Trump.   
      
   > She lost to a man who had no political experience... Trump made several stops   
   > and talked to the common folks... He said He loved his country... He loved   
   > it' citizens... and he'll spend every waken moment fighting for them... And   
   > that they'd be tired of winning...   
      
   > I said I'd loop back to Canada... Canada needs something like the electoral   
   > college, it has a popular vote... Reason being... most, if not all, elections   
   > are settled with only one or two Provinces... Ontario and sometimes Quebec   
      
   No thank you. It's true the election in Canada is settled before the polls   
   close in BC. I'm OK with that knowing that the will of the people will decide.   
      
   > As corrupt as Trudeau is... he'll stay in power, ad nauseam, because   
   > the residence of Ontario keep voting him in... they are drinking the Kool-Aid   
      
   I hated (passionately) Pierre Trudeau but I am OK with Justin Trudeau. He will   
   stay in power until the people say otherwise and they will want change at some   
   point.
