On April 26, on Fox and Friends, President Donald Trump said he wishes the U.S. elected presidents by popular vote, rather than using the electoral college. See this story. The story says the 2016 electoral college vote was Trump 304, Clinton 207. Actually it was Trump 304, Clinton 227, others 7.
I wonder if he wishes the US Senate was based on population like the House of Representatives?
Uniform definition of Elector-Voter in ALL of the USA.
Abolish the minority rule Senate.

TOTAL Separation of Powers — so demagogic wannabee tyrant MONSTERS like Trump will be quickly indicted and removed from Office by independent nonpartisan USA Marshalls and Attorneys.
In regard to the last sentence of Demo Rep’s posting . . . I once read a science fiction story in which completion of the term of office of all elected office holders was an automatic indictment for whatever done during their terms! As I recall, in the story, this strongly encouraged the office holders to be particularly honest and careful in performance of the duties elected to. Seems to me though such a policy would have to be coupled with term limits lest they be encouraged to continue in office forever.
Those *independent nonpartisan USA Marshalls and Attorneys* are to be ELECTED in the various 6th Amdt districts.
What MORON State elects only the ONE top executive officer (in view of the thousands of years of executive killer tyrants) ???
Trump is exploiting ALL the FATAL defects in the nearly dead USA Const the same way HITLER exploited the FATAL defects in the 1919 Germany Const — German declarations of emergency — suspension of Germany Bill of Rights >>> about 70,000,000 DEAD in World WAR II.
Earlier – destruction of the Roman Republic by Augustus Caesar >>> about 500 years of killer tyrant emperors and then about 1,000 years of DARK AGE killer monarchs/oligarchs — continuing into the 1900s – KILLER Kaiser Bill, KILLER Lenin, KILLER Mussolini, KILLER Stalin, KILLER Hirohito, KILLER Hitler, KILLER Mao, etc.

I think Trump’s going to win reelection in 2020 by a fairly decisive margin. And I think he’s fully confident of this. He can talk about the popular vote now.
I never new that Nevada had a NOTA (none of the above option, I wish more states allowed that then there would be NO excuse not to vote.
Each State continues to be a sovereign independent nation-state —

The USA regime is a LIMITED *Federal* regime

1928 — Elephants 58 — Donkeys 42
1932 — Donkeys 58 — Elephants 42
— plus all sorts of UNEQUAL ballot access laws for minor parties and independents
— setting the stage for quite possible 2020 Civil WAR II.

A number of DARK AGE States do NOT quickly report actual turnouts (if turnouts at all)
— to get actual NON-Votes – esp for Prez/VP.
