    He is prove the system is already broken. When in a democracy, voters who can read and write, who are impoverished and on avg can’t even afford a $500 emergency vote for a billionaire, I’d say that is a failure of the system.

      That’s why the Electoral College exists

      If people are voting for Trump then they will put their votes towards a better alternative

        Ironically Hillary Clinton had 3 million more votes than Trump. Without electoral college it would have been a Hillary Presidency.

          We’ve had 6 presidential elections in the 21st century. The Republican candidate won the popular vote one out of those 6 times. Yet we’ve had 3 Republican Presidential terms resulting from those elections.
