It is interesting to think that the majority of voters have voted democrat in six of the last seven elections, of which the one that did get more republican votes wouldn't even exist if he hadn't already been president.
It's like the YouGov Polls showing the majority of people (across the political spectrum) either want to keep the same healthcare we currently have (the ACA) or expand it further, not many support any of the GOP attempts t repeal and replace. In fact, it seems that outside of guns and abortion, the Republican Party's policies just aren't attractive to many people (and obviously those two are divisive among voters). Really digs in on how pathetic the Democratic Party is that they can't capitulate on this.

I don't know where I stand on removing the EC, but I do think that at the least we should use the Wyoming Rule for House of Representative and then adjust the EC from there using the results of that, and also the congressional district method a la Maine and Nebraska or something similar.
Of course, California gains big under the Wyoming Rule (13 new seats), Texas (nine new seats), and New York (seven)... meaning more swing for Democrats (although interestingly enough, Trump would still have won in 2016 so maybe it's not as crazy).
