    Bad example, Trump lost the popular vote both times. Dang electoral college was responsible for that travesty. Also George W. Bush lost the popular vote in his first election too. Thanks again, electoral college.

        I don’t disagree, just saying it’s an instance where direct democracy would have been better than having this representative layer of the electoral college in between.
