But why is he right ? If you see my image in the last post, it explains in simple terms how ECV works, what's wrong with that ?
If they went by the Popular vote, Democrats would win all the time, as they would always get the vote in Safe Democrat zones, California and all of the West Coast, New York, Miami etc etc. Rural areas would see voting a waste of time.

Re: US Election 2016
The worst thing about this election is the fact Trump won. I stayed up nearly night. I had to be at work at 5.30m. I was shattered.
You cannot have a bigot man being in charge of the most powerful man in the world. He has No experience in politics, and American Politics at that.
I can see, and l have said before. He will get double secret service with him. And he wont be able to do 'walkabouts' like Obama did.
The riots, and demos in the US. Is being done against Trump for many reasons. If he brings out the 'acts' that he plans. He will tear the US to pieces. Like The Tories are doing to the UK.
He will tear up Obamacare. And will bring out Health care that the poor wont be able to pay for.
When l spoke with my line manager today. He said that most Ambulances that turn up in the US. Are private health care vehicles that are run by Health Insurance companies.
I believe that someone will try and destroy him, within six months of his Presidency.
An don't forget, he is to appear in Court in December. Can you imagine, Court December and probably Impeachment during the first couple of Months.
Hilary Clinton should have won the election. But Giuliani called the rioters Cry Babies. Why, they were standing up for there rights.

Yes but Trump is alledgedly anti establishment. Who knows?

Re: US Election 2016
Trump is the establishment now, if he wasn't before. You don't get rid of the establishment you just change who it consists of.
However I find the idea that a billionaire with a chain of hotels, a private jet, a TV show and many political connections is not the establishment further evidence that the term has lost all meaning. It's just that politicians have always done well by donning the cloak of the maverick against the establishment.

ALL Presidents get Secret Service Protection. He also has his own security.

It is already divided Arthur.

Poor get help towards the cost of it but again Obamacare costs are increasing now. He wants to replace it and make it cheaper.

That's how they work in America. There is no Free healthcare. Health care is run by private companies. They don't have a National Free Health service like we do. In America, if you call an ambulance and you accept a ride to the hospital, you do get billed for it later on.

Change the record Arthur, it is getting old.

Actually he is not - the Plaintiff 'Jane Doe', dropped the lawsuit, again and it wasn't actually a Court hearing as such, it was a 'Status Conference' for the judge to decide on merit to take the case forward to a Court case or settlement. It is important to note that anyone can raise a Lawsuit against someone. Innocent until proven guilty Arthur. You should know that.
However there is news that, he may be called to Testify at a Trump University Fraud Trial.

I am all for legitimate and quiet peaceful protest, but burning flags and people properties etc etc is a tad pathetic.

Yah he is actually the defendant with the case set for this month: http://www.politico.com/story/2016/1...versity-231082 it's a civil case though so I don't think it has any implications legally? If he loses it's just a massive payout I think....

I'm not seeing it either Mick. It might have something to do with the site you linked from?
