   	The US presidential elections have followed a Byzantine   
   and possibly corrupt system for 200 years and after most   
   presidential elections when the result doesn't go the way a group   
   wanted it, they moan about the popular vote, third party   
   candidates muddying the waters etc. But did ol' Cheeto Head get   
   he electoral college votes? Alas yes, but had it really been a   
   popular vote, getting a slim margin would then erupt into screams   
   for a recount.

   	Facebook is where stupid people  hang out if they weren't   
   on facebook, they would be watching Roger Ailes propaganda   
   machine Fox News. Consider for a moment that Mr. Ailes got Nixon   
   elected by inventing that device that is a Clinton favourite. The   
   Town Hall meeting with pre-scripted questions with rehearsed   
   answers.   
      
   	As for the FBI, they have been moving politics since the   
   early days of Hoover.

   	I am no fan of the electoral college, or the two party   
   system. But, that seems to be the way those in power like it. You   
   know if they didn't they would change it.

   	When was there a normal presidential election?   
      
   	The electorate are not part of the political process,   
   they are merely the chorus. Big business is the major part of the   
   political process.
