Are you saying that you support a Marxist national popular vote? You want to leave the flyover states out of the system and allow only the west and east coast to decide all of our elections? Because in a Constitutional Republic, what prevails is a representative government. It's not about mob rule or popular vote.

Our whole system has had a remarkable outcome which helps to keep out people who are not suitable for the office. If Donald Trump can't participate in the system that's been set up for generations, he needs to drop out.

Keep in mind that Obama won the popular vote, but also won the delegates. The only difference between Obama and Trump is, Obama won MORE than 37% of the popular vote. Obama won 51.1%.
