Maybe we think a president is worth something. But anything is only worth what you can get for it on the market. I remember watching some "Olympus has Fallen" or other really bad movie, where the North Koreans held the POTUS hostage, and through out the movie I kept shouting, "Kill the bastard! We have 300 Million more of them!" If I was an American. But now there is a rather unique situation, where Americans could impeach, remove, and turn over the Donald, and recover some of the taxes he owes. Yes, the Iranians would probably kill him, but given his mental, and moral, state, that is no great injustice.
On the side, how much could we get for John Bolton, on the open market? Rumsfeld? Ouww, I bet Kissinger would go for a pretty penny! And Wolfowitz and his traitor wife. Oh, you didn't know about that one? Khallow, unfortunately, would sell for very little. Poor khallow.

The majority of us did not.
You are in denial. 95% of the people that voted did so.
Add it to the list of things to fix!
You still haven't moved from square one yet. People have to vote for those things and the people to implement them.

Votes do not count equally in this country.
The majority of people voted for Clinton, yet she lost.
The majority of votes in the Senate went to Democrats, yet Republicans control it.
Add that to first-past-the-post voting which locks us into this two-party system and we are very much NOT ruled by the will of the people.
Add them all to the list!

Are the rules were known. Clinton failed to acquire the needed electoral votes, and lost fair and square according to established rules. For which I remain grateful. We don't want city states ruling over the whole country. Your faith is woefully misplaced. And it's so sad that your side still doesn't have a sure winner, a person that is actually better. All you can say is you're *not Trump*®
Despite your fantastic denials, the only doubts about a fair election remain within the DNC primary. Just a rerun of 1968, though not as blatant. By the way, it sure looks like you're headed to a brokered primary, so those super-delegates will count after all.
With sufficient demand from the voters the elections will be wide open. The monkey trap you are in is entirely your own making.

"Are the rules were known. Clinton failed to acquire the needed electoral votes"
Yet again you out yourself as a total shill. You don't give a damn about the actual problems or solutions, you just want to disillusion and prevent people from unifying to fix the problem.
You sir are a terrible person.

Sorry that I forgot to point out that Clinton's loss is totally irrelevant, 95% voted for Trump/Clinton. That is the problem, the monopoly of the DNC/GOP. Despite what you think, middle east policy remains consistent, and so do increases in austerity and threats to earned benefits, using the riot index to measure how hard to squeeze. There are no "democrats and republicans" in the closed door meetings. There are only payables and receivables, just like the Soviet politburo.
