Barbara Boxer wants to abolish the Electoral College. What would be her "stance" if the exact opposite had happened to her Democratic nominee Hillary? There will always be some people who just can't accept reality.

I see where Barbara Boxer wants to abolish the Electoral College.

Here is what Trump tweeted about the electoral college.....your comments could equally apply to your hero.

2016 after his victory

Donald J. Trump ? ?@realDonaldTrump? The Electoral College is actually genius in that it brings all states, including the smaller ones, into play. Campaigning is much different! 8:40 AM - 15 Nov 2016

2012 after Obama victory

Donald J. Trump ? ?@realDonaldTrump? The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy. 11:45 PM - 6 Nov 2012 •

Of course I am ok with that...afterall he is a con man. Or, is he morphing from a con man to a politician? As I have stated, I look forward to him building the no cost wall, building up the military, reducing taxes, bringing jobs home, and maintaining coverage forpre existing conditions with lower premiums. I am a realist and accept him as President unlike the Right who call themselves Americans but prayed that Obama would fail.

I admit that in the beginning I was attracted to Obama in his initial run for the President. He fooled a lot of people with his "hope" and "change" rhetoric. I was also impressed with Michelle early on and I even initiated conversation with several Blacks leading up to the first election. No, I did not vote for him for a variety of reasons which I will mention some int the paragraph below, but I do think I was a willing listener during his campaign. Even though he still has a favorable opinion rating, some people will just not give up the ghost and admit that he did not lead our country as many "hoped" he would. 

I will mention a few examples for my feelings. He starts out "apologizing" to the world that America is not a great nation, his foreign policy lacked a consistent strategy that was always announcing to the enemy when and where our campaigns were going to begin, he likened ISIS to the JV Team, he draws a "red line" in the sand in Syria, he  "lied" time and time again to get Obama Care passed which has now proven to be a disaster, he has doubled our National Debt from from ten trillion to twenty trillion dollars, ninety million able body workers are not in the work force, on average the growth of our economy has been in the 2% range, the country is more divided socially than it has been in years, he has disrespected the role of law enforcement in their role of maintaining law and order in a very disconnected society, and the list goes on. In no way did I pray that Obama would fail as President but I think his record says it all.

I voted for Obama twice.  The first time was because I was so angry about the whole Iraq invasion and just a host of other issues.  The second time I just found I could not support Romney. At first, I was very happy that Obama was finally going to do something about healthcare.  But then there was a lot of missteps by Obama in foreign policy, he didn't close Gitmo, he didn't put an end to our involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq, we spent a bunch of money "rebuilding Afganistan" that got us nothing, and he went around apologizing for GWB and the US.  The roll out of the ACA was a disaster and the resulting program was terrible. I just found that he didn't deliver on hope and change or much of anything else and he has been a weak President. 

Now everyone wants to get rid of the electoral college. Watching talking heads on TV this morning, the Democrats are now sure if Bernie had been the candidate over Hillary that they would have beat Trump.  You know how hindsight is always 20/20. 

I'm not liking some of  the appointments that Trump is making.  Bannion has ties to White Supremists, and he's talking about appointing John Bolton or Rudy Guiliani as Secretary of State. You may remember that BoltonI  was the Ambassador to the UN and pissed everyone off.  He's a neo-con and a hawk.  Rudy said on some TV show last night that he had turnd down AG and was holding out for Secretary of State.  He'd be a disaster.  I had really hoped that he would make some excellent picks and not just his buds from the campaign.  In the meantime he has cut Christy and Mike Rodgers out.  I still think he was a better choice than Hillary, but I still hope that he can put together a good team.
