This election was rigged for Trump the moment he triggered the racists in the rust belt, even though Clinton won the majority vote.

This means that all future nominees need to do is stoke racial hate in the rust belt to win. Future nominees could lose the popular vote by 20 million and still be annointed POTUS by the corrupt Electoral College.

Abolish the electoral college!

No wait he won. The electoral college is unlikely to be abolished before 2020. You need to
consider a plan B.

I didn't mention any plans in my post, let alone a plan A. Consider responding on topic with intelect as opposed to snarky off topic alt-dumb talking points

"stoke racial hate in the rust belt to win" and "Abolish the electoral college". I find the first one unacceptable and the
second unlikely to happen. come up with a better plan.

the only way we could ever do it is by winning 2/3 of the house and getting to 2/3 of the state to ratify it. I am sorry running a celebrity with no political experience is a silly reactionary idea republicans got away with it in 2016,but Democrats will not. Besides after Trump it will be a long time before voters will have a taste for celebrities in office again.
