Then knock yourself out amending the Constitution. Anything else is intellectually dishonest, unethical or illegal.

What a perverse sense of honor you have.

Honorable people abide by rules understood and agreed to.

Do you really think Obama or Clinton would have followed you advice if the tables had been turned?

You tribe lost, be an honorable man and move on.

The whole "popular vote" thing emanates from just one state voting for HRC in a landslide.

Ironically, it's also the state that wants to secede from the union.

Well, he's not in office yet; we don't have a Partiamentary system with no confidence votes; and our constitution explicitly prescribes the apportioned votes by state. Apart from those small details you're on firm ground.

What, in view of the facts above, would be "honorable" about Trump quitting ? I think the prospects for it are about zero. If so what will you do? Have you considered Canada?

No need to shout.

Obama managed to win using the same system. Twice.

The DNC corruption was exposed.

@MontereyJack,
The American electorate wanted Trump, so they elected him fair & square.
The EC works perfectly, it's not obsolete.
Liberal progressive democrats better get used to losing.

Maybe now some movie stars can make a video urging attendees to Trump's inauguration to run up and snatch the bible from the Chief Justice's hands when he tries to swear Trump in.

Whatever Clinton said ended up as an so much BS to the voters and media, nobody was fooled. She was in it for "Me".

It seems odd that you would post this coment on the day in which the electoral college vote indicating Trump's victory was announced. Official ratrification is still pending, but it does indeed appear that Trump got enough popular votes to win the election under the applicable procedure soecificed in the constitution.

"Too" is an adverb indicating "also" or "as well as". "to elect" would be the correct infinitive form of the verb.

"its" is a posessive indicating association: "It's " is the contraction for "it is" .

@roger,
Trump was worse, but people just wanted any change. Many identified Trump as a narcissist, but few for Hillary by inference.
