See you seem to conflate the "will of the people" for the rules of the election. I'm not debating that Trump won, I'm debating that the will of the people was done.
I also was not a Hillary supporter, but again the rules are basically set out in a way that means that no matter what this election a large segment of the population's views would be ignored. Turns out this time we went with the minority opinion and ignored the majority.
- downandout 10y agoMy point was that according to the rules, the "will of the people" is in fact the vote of the electoral college.
- dragonwriter 10y agoNo, according to the rules, the will of the people is irrelevant; the rules don't determine what the will of the people is, only whether it has any relevance to the outcome.
