Not sure...that's the worrying thing. It was a choice between taking a chance of the corrupt devil we know vs the devil we don't know.

Can the electoral college system be got rid of so this does not happen again. A first past the post in a popular vote.



But it didn't matter what he said at the time as long as he got the ears to listen. He was after hooking in the disaffected in order to gain the power. He will hopefully now surround himself with advisors and policy makers to find real solutions for the 'promises' he made. I do hope he does & that he is mindful that there is a big wide world out there and we are all in it together.

Do the Republicans like Trump? The party and the powers to be in congress?
