People up in arms over the electoral college result, yet they don't understand it. Thanks for a realistic view of the process, it is nice to read an informed opinion which is lacking in the major-league news articles. 

I find it interesting that while I was watching votes poor in, that in red states...the major cities were blue. Which is also where a lot of these protests and riots are occurring. The major cities see themselves as the "voice" of their state which is far from reality. The only reason Clinton has thus far won the popular vote is because major cities are generally democratic because they prosper from the thousands of goverment-led programs paid for by all of us. 

Well...the rest of us have spoken up and we garnished enough electorals to surpass the major city populations vote. 

I think the founders would be surprised that their measures of protecting the people from tyranny have got us this far. Especially because the electoral did what it was intended to do.
