Good grief.   "Democracy" a.k.a. MOB RULE has NOT failed.  It's doing what it's always done.  Democracy is MOB RULE.  Libs and leftist joined forces in a largely successful attempt to convince all of us we live in a Democracy.  BS! (Should I write it out?)  This country was founded as a Republic.  The difference between a Popular Vote and an Electoral College is the SAME difference between a Democracy and a Republic.  In a Republic, minorities are heard respectfully and their demands are acted upon, in a democracy, minority opinion is quashed.  Does someone doubt that America listens to minorities?  Hells Bells, we bend over backwards and turn ourselves upside down, inside out (where have we heartd that before?) to listen to minorities and accomodate them?  Only in a Republic do minorities get such rapt attention.  Wake up people.  You've swallowed leftist bullshit.  STOP IT!   PURGE IT!
