dem·a·gogue
ˈdeməˌɡäɡ/
noun
plural noun: demagogues
a political leader who seeks support by appealing to popular desires and prejudices rather than by using rational argument.
Trump was not a political leader. But he did play the same old game that all of them do.
The Electoral College was designed to protect the rural areas of this nation(be it smaller states..et al) ..so that they could have a voice. But unfortunately....the current spin is just the opposite:

....what a shame that so any individuals spin this type of crap. Because...that is what it is ....crap. On cue.....the spin starts to dis-inform individuals of the root meaning. The electoral college is this:

The mode of appointment of the Chief Magistrate of the United States is almost the only part of the system . . . which has escaped without severe censure. . . . I venture somewhat further, and hesitate not to affirm that if the manner of it be not perfect, it is at least excellent.
