A RIGGED ELECTION

     Irony of ironies! Donald Trump repeatedly criticized  the election process during the month prior to the election yesterday as "rigged".  Well it was rigged in favor of Trump, but not by Hillary Clinton's team or the democrats.  It was rigged not by Trump the accuser, but by our illustrious forefathers who designed and scripted the rigged process called the Electoral College.  Here again for the second time in this century, a candidate for president registered a clear majority vote of the electorate, but lost the election in the archaic process called the  Electoral College (which is neither  fair to the electorate nor a college in any way).  
          The message is clear.  As long as this absurd excuse for a democratic election stands as part of our process, the United States is a grossly imperfect democracy.   As part of our getting together and healing, let us all unite and get rid it ASAP. It is the non-partisan thing to do. 
          In the meantime, no member of the Trump team should consider this election a mandate,  You won by a rigged system.
