Steve, you sound just like DJT in 2012 when he tweeted: "The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy." But now? DJT: "The Electoral College is actually genius . . ." 

This is Trumponomics 101: Anyone or any institution Trumps views as helping him (not the country, or his party, only him) is 'genius.' Any entity who opposes Trump is a disaster who lies and lies. So sad!

BTW, the Electoral College can be made irrelevant if states pass laws requiring electors to cast their votes for the winner of the popular vote. Given that there are already laws instructing electors on how to vote, it's not a big change.
