I am tired of pundits making the argument that, after all, Trump was elected; thus yadda, yadda.

Dammit he was not legitimately elected!!!! Fuck them all.
Hillary should be installed but we are fucked.

1. My take is,if these same

individual's had a real job,well you know their story would be different. Remember who those Tax Breaks were for.

2. Yes, he was, whether you want to accept it or not

You DON'T have a right to vote for President. All the Constitution says is that States will allocate Electors. Trump won the Electoral votes.

3. Those who don't learn from history ...

Unfortunately too many on here seem to think that if they gripe about the past election enough Hillary will be installed as President. The trouble with this unrealistic thinking is that it seems to be rearing its head as 2020 approaches and there will again be Russian interference and voter suppression and appeals along racial lines.

A better approach is to choose a nominee who is not only qualified but also has the best chance to win the electoral college by a margin that precludes dirty tricks.

4. As Lawrence O'Donnell again claimed yesterday...

.. no other country has copied the idea of an electoral college. Well, except from Estonia, India, Italy, Germany and a bunch of other countries, who select their big chief in same ways. Many other countries gives rural areas much more voting power than pure voter counting would give, since a representational democracy should represent the country and not just the areas with most voters. And BTW, if the real majority at election are the ones who do not vote something is terrible wrong anyway...

5. Okay, be tired. But half the electorate is committed

to him as president -- strongly, to spite us.

And illegitimate victory or not, nonvoters caused Trump as surely as his voters since votes not cast all benefited him.

Of course, the types who throw their votes away third-party helped cause Trump and shouldn't be complaining now. It couldn't have happened without that whack-jobbery and they own him.

Only those who voted Democrat did not put this illicit president in office, and our large majority is a minority.
