Completely.

R U Canadian....

Does the electoral college do that? Currenly you have a president of red states
in spite of the red voters in blue states. Blue states are ridiculed as
anarchist states that should/will be defunded.

If that is so then the electoral college has failed. Donald Trump rarely visits
blue states.

Donald Trump will say anything but we all know what his words are worth.

That's what I mean. How can someone win the election by a landslide, and yet
the majority of voters did not vote for them?

I am not a fan of Hillary. I didn't watch the election or what she said/did.

I do know that Hillary got 2.9 million more votes than Trump.

No thank you. It's true the election in Canada is settled before the polls
close in BC. I'm OK with that knowing that the will of the people will decide.

I hated (passionately) Pierre Trudeau but I am OK with Justin Trudeau. He will
stay in power until the people say otherwise and they will want change at some
point.
