And now from Hillary Clinton: "Electoral College ‘Needs to Be Eliminated’"
Naturally, it's very convenient. She lost in 2016 and VP Gore in 2000. Both times the winner of the popular vote lost the Electoral College and the presidency.
Of course, the Electoral College can be replaced. All you have to do is amend the US Constitution and call for direct popular vote.
Is it likely to happen? No. It always fails.
In fact, 2016, and also 2000, proved the wisdom of the Electoral College.
Clinton won the popular vote because of the heavy concentration of Democrat voters in the coasts and large metro areas. On the other hand, Trump dominated everything between the coasts.
Hillary Clinton was a regional not a national candidate. Just look at the map.
One last note: There is no guarantee that Mrs. Clinton or VP Gore would have won their contests under a popular vote system. Bush 2000 & Trump 2016 would have run totally different campaigns.
