Another reason we have to do away with the Electoral College

Today the President again showed why he lost the vote of the people to Hillary Clinton. Early this morning he tweeted pictures/videos originally from a fringe British group ironically called Britain First that showed "Muslims" committing bad acts against Westerners and Christian Objects. The former leader of the KKK (remember they endorsed Trump) David Duke applauded the move. British Prime Minister Theresa May issued a stern rebuke. I wonder who the President will be texting with tonight. Some of the content has been debunked long before the President shared it. This is another example of how he and his staff (led by his press secretary) do not have the character and temperament for the job. The majority of the American People knew this when they voted for former Secretary Clinton and other candidates. This is why we need to get rid of the Electoral College. Twice in the last 16 years, it has allowed the poorest of the Presidential Candidates to claim the Presidency. We know how the Bush Presidency turned out. We have seen how the Trump Administration has fared with almost a year of governing. We need a constitutional amendment to get rid of the Electoral College.
