Do you know that Trump did not win popular vote? He won "Electoral votes". In other words, his victory does not actually represent the will of the people. As of Thursday morning, Clinton was up by more than 500k popular votes.

Stop reasoning like a kid.
Trump won more states than Clinton.
Some of the states she won have more populations.

Badgers14:


Read before typing rubbish.. I wrote Clinton won more "popular vote" than Trump. And you are saying Trump won more states than Clinton. These are different argument.

In case you don't understand, "popular votes" are individuals personal choice of the candidates in an Election. My previous post is just saying that more Americans wanted Clinton to be president than Trump.

The US have an electoral process which aims at protecting it from what happened in the last presidential election in Nigeria where Kano and Rivers state contributed the most votes for both candidates.

Do you know that the most votes scored by Clinton could have come from just one state? Compared to Trump actually winning in more states? Though in Nigeria 2/3 of total votes cast nationwide is required to win, in US the more states you win the more electoral votes you get.

My dear, you compared apples with Oranges here. US president election is not by any means close to the Nigerian presidental election in 2015.

The reasoning behind the "electoral colleges" is slavery.

Back when slavery was the order of the day in the US. Slaves where disenfranchised. They could not vote but a big BUT, their owners and the political system wants to use them to win elections, basically silencing them. They are counted on the census that they use to allocate the electoral college but they don't vote, they don't want them to make their choices. They wanted to appoint people "electoral college" to make their choice for them.

If there were no electoral colleges, the south would rarely smell the white house. And to think of it, the south - home of slavery have produced the highest number of U.S. presidents than any other region.

*** also don't forget that women weren't allowed to vote at the time.. But they were counted in census and they use census to allot electoral colleges to states.. So basically that's a system of silencing groups of people to there advantage****

NairaMinted:



You do not understand what you speak. Trump won fair and square. The winner US presidential elections is determined by the electoral college. It's all that matters.

The very purpose of the electoral college is to prevent tyranny of the masses (or a particular tribe or ethnicity) hence the electoral college.

And yes this check and balance system of the electoral college is indeed synonymous with the requirement of winning 2/3 of states in a Nigerian presidential election that bigtt76 mentioned.

Trump won but he didn't have a mandate. That's why he is pulling back from some of his divisive statements. We shall see how things go. One thing i knoe is that after a grace period of a year, if he doesn't perform, Americans will unleash on him. I am one of his harshest critics but I still want him to succeed because if he's successful that means America is successful.

Badgers14:



Yes sir.. You are the only person that mentioned me with something reasonable to say...

Bar man, give this my guy small stout abi Gulder is your brand..

Yeah.. I am right there with you, Trump is just an embarrassment. My issue with him is his hate filled campaign. From the moment he declared his candidacy till date.. He have flip flopped on his manifestos.. To me that's worrisome.

He have some unattainable goals and some hypocrite ones. He doesn't believe Global warming as mentioned during his campaign, but he is citing global warming as reason the Republic of Ireland should let him build fence around his golf course in Ireland.. Can you imagine To me he seems to be having fun with the whole U.S politics scenrios and doesn't give a damn..

Under Trump, there will be lots of racial riots. This has already started even before his swearing in. The people around him and foreign leaders like Putin will manipulate him easily by taking advantage of his monstrous ego. The military industrial complex will easily shame him into sacrificing American soldiers in Iraq, Syria, and maybe even Iran despite his isolationist tendencies. Attempts to implement any of his stupid campaign promises will infuriate minorities, but going back on his promises will infuriate his supporters. Trump will be like Lyndon Johnson.

missjo:

Where are you people coming up with this stuff?
Slavery is the reason behind having the Electoral College system, really?

Was the system of Electoral Colleges started in the US?

missjo:

You don't know a lot about Trump do you? Read up on his biography and the way he has run his business to become a billionaire.

One thing people can't do is manipulate him, it may seem like someone baited him into reacting but be rest assured the man usually has something else up his sleeves.
It's that same ego that makes him hard to manipulate.

Badgers14:


Where electoral colleges was started is irrelevant to argument.

As for what i wrote, google it. You will find more than a million result in google but you just have to chose what to believe.
