WHY IS TRUMP IN THE WHITE HOUSE?

We have an ignorant and incompetent delusional malignant narcissist, the worst President in the history of the United States, in the White House because of a unique combination of factors.

* The frustration of many Americans with the incompetence and inaction of Congress due to extreme partisanship.

* Too many candidates on the ballot in Republican primaries - and too few choices in the Democratic primaries.

* The false assumption that Trump is a smart and successful, and honest, businessman.

* An irrational hatred of the Clinton family and specifically Hillary Clinton by many Republicans and independents.

* James Comey’s October 28 letter to Congress about Clinton’s emails.

* Russia’s systematic and aggressive interference with the election in support of the Trump campaign.

* The continued existence of the outdated and unnecessary Electoral College.

Remove any one of these factors and it is possible that we would not be in the extreme danger to American principals and democracy we find ourselves faced with today.

It is important to note that despite the above factors, Trump still lost the election by almost 3 Million votes.  Trump is only in the White House today because of the continued existence of the Electoral College, which, ironically, was originally created to prevent a dangerous demagogue and opportunist like Trump from being elected. 

It is clear that we must do away with the Electoral College.
