2016 wasn't the problem people think it was. The electoral college did what everyone knew it should have. Hillary was the issue. She ran a campaign showing far less interest in rural communities and focusing mainly on largely populated metropoltian areas. She forgot the little people. Had she campaigned more evenly, she would have taken both the popular and the electoral vote. The electoral college shows that while New York, Illinois And California may have dense areas of populations clustered into major cities, there are still the geographic voters to consider. This was something she should have learned from Obama. He campaigned for everyone, not just the rich, big city campaign investors.
