I think it’s time to replace the Electoral College. Hillary Clinton won California by a large margin, including Orange County. Donald Trump won some of the industrial states by a very slim margin, meaning California voters meant very little in the big picture.

The thing that bothers me is Trump tweeted many times that the Electoral College is a disaster, yet he benefited from it. Now he tweets it’s a “generous” way to elect a president.

The big question to me is how do you score more points than your opponent and lose the prize? Sorry, it doesn’t work in football. Politics does make hypocrites of us all.
