No, this is not a joke, that was his actual reasoning.
Democrats lost the election by the rules that have been in place since our country's founding, but IT'S NOT FAIR!!! We should change the rules so Democrats win more often.
I say we go by how many counties each candidate wins. In that case Trump won 85% of the counties. Honestly I pulled up this fact as a joke but now that I'm looking at it it really does prove WHY we need the Electoral College. Hillary won 15% of the counties but "won" the popular vote? That is absolutely insane. Hillary also won something like 80% of the richest counties in the US. So you really want a few large, rich counties to decide who becomes the president of the US? Are you all insane? I'm talking to you specifically, Back.
