Monica is missing the point.
The majority vote went against Trump. 
The Republicans ran their campaign based on winning the electoral college. That means their campaign centered on a few states not the people of the United States. Rove brought this model of campaign into play with Bush. 
And there is another critical point. 
Trump is running the government as he would a business - a corporation. Which translates to pleasing the stockholders which he perceives not as the electoral college nor the people -- its his board, his 1%-ers. He issues a one page list of talking points -- and expects underlings to go forth and make it so. Except, that is not how democracy works. It is also why a corporation's behavior is oft described as that of sociopath. Consider what the budget guts so as to give the 1% a massive tax reform.


I align with Joan Chittister, no matter which political party plays these tawdry games I would be concerned about the future of democracy and ask who wants it to fail?
