Why do we need to change the EC process just because a Clinton lost the election?

Go to your happy place dev. If there is one thing I am, I am consistent. My life goes on.

ETA: Boring actually.

Haha, I had to mess with you a little. And I am in my happy place. Oddly people here seem to be finding more things to be upset about after victory than I am in defeat.
The personal benefits for me and my family of Republican government is a nice consolation despite the hit to my beliefs on how the country should be run.

The best thing you can see is he is not an ideologue. Nor is he surrounded by neocons (always a good thing). My biggest concern is he is inexperienced in the affairs of government. And much too thin skinned. Feels the need to respond to everything. Time to take the high road. Not going to happen though. Lot of bitterness on both sides of the aisle right now.

Going to be an interesting four years. Still glad it was not Hillary.

I think this is going to be an epic disaster with congress (the lowest approval rating for a governmwnt body in history) basically running the country for four years. I think looking at the numbers (very narrow wins in the bg states, lost popular vote) a second term is not a given at all.

I am of the opinion he is not interested in a second term. I think his whole campaign was a big "FU" to the establishment that told him he could not do it. And I agree, his relationship with Congress is going to be rocky.
