I ' m not on the left I ' ve voted GOP in every election except this one and I agree . This election was what the FF wanted to avoid with the Electoral College . For the most part , the Presidency excluding FDR has run pretty well and the checks and balances have worked . Now we are faced with the most unqualified candidate to ever reach this level . There is already unprecedented controversy surrounding his appointments , including foreign influence . There are serious questions about his proposed cabinet appointees and staff . There are serious questions about his proposed policies that have no answer except wait and see . The job is too important . It ' s time for the EC to step up and save the United States from itself .
