[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 4179822, member: 18222"] Because it is rule by "Tyranny of the Majority" ... that's what I like most about the USA Government. [I]American founding father Alexander Hamilton, writing to Thomas Jefferson from the Constitutional Convention, argued the same fears regarding the use of pure direct democracy by the majority to elect a demagogue who, rather than work for the benefit of all citizens, set out to either harm those in the minority or work only for those of the [B]upper echelon or population centers[/B]. As articulated by Hamilton, one reason the Electoral College was created was so "that the office of President will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications".[/I] In his belief, was the inherent belief that no one like Trump would ever be elected by the Electoral College! WTF happened? [/QUOTE]
