Today has been a very painful day for me and many Americans. I consider myself politically savvy. But, I cannot understand how my fellow citizens could have voted for someone so unqualified, racist, divisive, and unethical for president as Donald Trump over such a talented, caring, hard-working and experienced person like Hillary Clinton.
The pundits say that this is a change election. And, there is some truth to that. People are fed up with the political infighting and quagmire in Washingt on and want change. But, change to whom and with what values?
We say that we are a “United” States of America. Yet, we close our eyes and allow a person to win the Office of President with an arbitrary electoral vote margin based on a few individual states when someone else, Hillary Clinton, wins the national popular vote of all of our citizens, just like Vice President Al Gore did in 2000. Though easier said than done, the antiquated electoral college must end.
