No it is not, North America has vast amounts of rural areas compared to major densely populated Cities, like Miami and New York.
The Founding Fathers got it right hundreds of years ago, because if it went with the popular vote, only certain mass populated areas get to decide on a candidate and that is not right.
Even Hillary, in her Concession speech said the US Election system is a cherished system enshrined in to the Constitution and the result has to be accepted and respected.
As I have said elsewhere in this thread, the population in America is not spread out evenly and this is why the Electoral College exists.
I find it bemusing that had the result of this Election gone the other way, Clinton wins by College vote, but Trump wins the Popular vote, the lefties would not even be bringing up this argument at all. They are trying any which way they can to try and steal the Presidency back to Hillary.

Who on Earth ? Clearly Over 17 Million people did. The penny won't drop either and we won't be in do do's.
You go on and on
about the leavers being uneducated, which is bollocks by the way, but I can't understand for the life of me why, if you profess to be educated, you want to remain in a corrupted entity as the EU that will collapse at some point in the future, surely it's smart to jump the sinking ship ? Anyway, brexit thread over there >>>
