So the sore loser wench wants to get rid of the Electoral College based on the claim that she would have won because of the popular vote. This is stupid on so many fronts but I will address the two big ones.  

First and foremost, there is zero evidence that she would have won the popular vote had that been the means of winning.  The fact is she thought she had it in the bag and was concerned about Trump winning the popular vote.  So instead of campaigning in the upper Midwest she spent her efforts on the coasts running up the popular vote. Stupid idea both in foresight and hindsight.  But think about all those Republicans in blue states and Democrats in red states that don't bother to vote because they know it is meaningless.  There is no way to know how many of them from either side would have come out to vote and no way to know how many Independents that leaned either way would have come out either.  Currently the country is roughly 1/3rd Republican, 1/3rd Democrat and 1/3rd Independent.  Running a national popular vote campaign is much different than one focused on winning the Electoral College.  Her hubris blinded to her to the difference and she lost.

Second, to eliminate the Electoral College you need 2/3rds of the House and Senate to approve with 3/4ths of the states to ratify.  That isn't going to happen on an issue like this.

And on a final note for those of you with the brains to be happy that Shrillery lost, enjoy reading this from a guy I normally can't bear to read or listen to.  Pretty much spot on.....with a few notable exceptions.
