. Keith Olbermann explains how the Electoral College described by Alexander Hamilton was designed to avert national disaster, and weed out scoundrels like Donald Trump. Hamilton foresaw the possibility of someone seeking to hold office, skilled in; “The talents for low intrigue” and ” The little arts of popularity.” The Electoral College also assures the integrity of our nation against interference by an enemy nation seeking to encroach from within by use of a dupe. A fool. An easily flattered idiot.
Keith explains why well-intentioned Electoral College voters will never convince Republicans to give up their votes to a Democratic candidate. It simply isn’t in them. However, we all know it would be a ‘win’ for our nation to have a sane President, from any party. President Romney has never looked so good, nor has McCain for that matter. The Electoral College might well succeed if Democrats and Republicans throw their vote to such a candidate. Alexander Hamilton…He was no Donald Trump.
