I was agreeing with you. The rest of my comments about the popular vote weren't really directed to your post. Sorry for the confusion.
I wasn't getting into that whole "mandate" issue. I honestly don't care about a mandate, although there is a credible argument for it given Republicans winning the White House, Senate, House, and controlling most of the states.
Oh yes. I was not directly responding to you... Sorry for the confusion.
I was speaking of the topic of the EC in general.
You and I are on the same page here and yes. I agree there is surely some credibility to say that they have a mandate due to their controlling of the areas of government. I don't know if I completely agree with it, but the argument can definitely be made.
