    No--they didn't. This is a republic --not a democracy. Your position is indefensible and ridiculous.

    Yes, but they also said they wanted Gore so obviously they are not smart enough to know what is best.

    Incorrect. The electoral college selects the president. This is so Calinoisyork cannot push their will upon the rest of the country. It was designed this way long before Illinois and California existed. The framers were tremendous visionaries.

    The Bush presidency proves they did know best.

    Incorrect--most Americans wanted someone other than Hillary. Fortunately the framers knew better than to allow straight democracy.

    Yes they did.This being a republic does not change the fact that most of the American people wanted Hillary as their President.

    You're mixing points. While more Americans voted for Hillary than Trump, the will of the people is represented by the will of the states.

    That is not true.The electoral college does elect the President but they do not represent the will of the people,their votes do.

    This is woefully incorrect. Besides, HRC did not receive a majority.
