The whole strategy would be different. There's no use whining about the rules afterwards. The time for that discussion is before the participants agree to it. As has been pointed out now in many places, whining about the popular vote is like the Indians whining that they scored as many runs in the series as the Cubs, so they should win.
Where am I whining? Just stating a fact. Cubs-Indians run analogy.......uh ok. Your the first I have seen compare the federal election to a 7 game World Series, can you link the ''many places" that reference was used?
Also the Electoral College amendment/alteration would require a little more than a "discussion" and participant agreement.
The result has little impact one way or another for me, how about you if Trump doesn't deliver?
What I am concerned about is the opportunity to succeed that a majority of the young people(many on this board) will get going forward. We baby boomers have had our chances and many blew it. It isn't me that cast the "whine-life is so unfair vote" and Trump will save us.
You also seem to conveniently leave out the "whiney" Trump narrative that the system was rigged(including the EC) against him before election was even held.
I am man enough to come back in a year if Trump is delivering on his promises to say I was wrong. How about you if Trump reneges on his promises of a chicken in every pot?
Trump's history sure doesn't indicate he is a man of his word.
