If Hillary had won the Electoral College, and thus the Presidency, and Trump the Popular Vote, they would be extolling the virtues of our system that's been in place, and worked for hundreds of years.
They can make up excuses all they want, but what they are advocating is DEMOCRAT MOB RULE due to the urbanization of America. The huge metro areas (cities, and suburbs) across the nation are solidly BLUE now. They control entire states like CA, NY, NJ, MD, IL, MA, CT, RI, PA, etc. It is a disturbing trend, and could mean the end of the two party system in the U.S.
The fact that Trump was elected, and many Governors, and State legislators are Republican shows the resiliency of those voters outside of metro areas. But, I fear it can not be sustained.
The progressives are tweaking and perfecting their "work around" of the electoral college. They just weaponize various government agencies with ideological appointees that can't be fired, use the resources of the DoJ and the FBI for campaign opposition research, and for other government officials, such as SC justices and such that don't tow their line and do what they're told, they remind them about the files they have on them and how unfortunate it would be if those files were "leaked" to their MSM.
