Its pretty incredible to me that so many americans still dont understand how the US presidential elections work.
These moron deplorable trump supporters actually think that if they show up at the polls and vote for him, that he will be elected president. Doesnt work that way bro.
Members of the electoral college put in THEIR vote for president. Many of them do side with who the people choose, but by law that arent obligated to. Often times they can be bought. I think this is where trump gets this idea of it being rigged, because Hillary has far more financial support than he does, but that doesnt automatically mean she is buying off the electors. It just means they think he is a moron and she is a better fit. He would never admit that though. When he loses he'll make up some dumb excuse about the electoral college being rigged in her favor.
