Trump Says Electoral College ‘Genius’ After Calling It ‘Disaster’
Trump called the process of electing a president a “disaster for a democracy”, and even called for a “revolution” in response to the results.
“They feel like their communities are dying, and they perceive that all that stuff – the young people, the money, the livelihood – is going somewhere, and it’s going to the cities”, she said. “Heartbreaks don’t heal overnight, and this one won’t”. Clinton lost the state by 10 points.
Based on what he has said on the campaign trail, that has been very hard from some Americans to believe that the reality television show star who smeared minorities, parents of a war hero and a disabled reporter will change his ways. We have to work at a grassroots level. “We’ve got to come together and focus on a way ahead”.
He says electors are not compelled to pick a particular candidate, but they are carefully chosen by the political parties and are usually already committed to voting a certain way. He can not now say that it was a metaphor, that none of it is really possible. We believe that every American should feel that they are welcomed in their own country and feel like they have the same rights as everyone else.
It’s that pesky Electoral College our founding fathers set up, which creates a system where individual electors from the states actually vote for the president. Trump’s campaign had until Monday evening to ask for a recount but did not do so.
But Donald Trump won the electoral college and will be president – the fifth time in USA history a president has been elected despite losing the popular vote.
This is the fifth time in history that a nominee has won the popular vote but not the Electoral College. We can’t afford to be is discouraged or divided.
Hillary Clinton may have lost, but her message is not lost to us. It lasted about 18 minutes. For Democrats, Clinton was not liberal enough, representing for many the status quo and a lying, corrupt government. Thank you for listening.
“She got a huge percentage of her support from California and New York”, Ross said. The next day, a woman and her 13-month-old daughter, Phoebe, saw the Clintons walking their dog near her home in Chappaqua, New York.
“On November 8, the American people spoke clearly, and chose Hillary Clinton for President”, echoed the group Daily Kos, which also called for change.
“This office is bigger than any one person, and that’s why ensuring a smooth transition is so important”, the president said, taking questions before he departs on a week-long trip to Greece, Germany and Peru to meet with foreign leaders. “You would think we would be able to fix that”.
