re: #170 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

they still have the power the Electoral College, which favors the sparsely-populated Red States, and for the other states, they have he power of gerrymandering

I am repeatedly reminded of the George Carlin quote: think about how stupid the average person is and then remember that half the population is stupider than that.

…and our political & electoral system has given that half a de facto majority in the House, Senate and EC

I’m aware of this. However, the one disadvantage they will have is they won’t have a lighting rod of hatred to unite against in HRC. Hopefully the 2020 candidate will have learned a lot from both Obama and Clinton’s successes and failures.
