Itâs not the first time. It happened under Reagan. It happened under Bush Sr. It happened under W. I wonder if thereâs a pattern there.

A snapshot of post-election thoughts from 19 U.S. voters (and one non-voter) from Politico. The warts-and-all terseness Tim Alberta offers here is sobering.

Thanks for posting this even though I was so annoyed by so many in this piece.
Sigh. These Trump voters donât understand the most basic issues and politcal processes in the United States. They certainly do not understand separation of powers and the Constitution of the United States.
They also appear to be ill-informed, intolerant and unable to grasp basic political philosophies. They have no basic understanding of Marxism, socialism, communism or fascism.
These Trump supporters will never grasp that the left is not a monolithic. Some are religious, some are not. Some are vegan, some are not. Some are business owners, some are not. Some own guns, while some do not. I would say that the only thing that non-Trump voters universally believe in is that every person has the right to vote, the Constitution protects everyone, and Trump was not qualified for the job of president.

Especially when âthe Leftâ to them is 95% of the political spectrum relative to them.

The phrase âElectoral Collegeâ does not appear in the US Constitution. Where does it appear in law, if any?
Use the Google?

I gargle the Google. I find no occurrences of the phrase âElectoral Collegeâ in legislation. When do you find it?
The phrase doesnât, but the description of its function absolutely does, in the article and section that Kathy indicated.
The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted.
Also, âcollegeâ has more than one meaning. One of which is âa group of persons considered by law to be a unitâ.

IOW âElectoral Collegeâ is not a legal term, but a vernacular phrasing. Noted.
No, itâs a descriptive one. That doesnât make it any less of a real thing with rules and laws surrounding its function.

Here - Iâll do it for you this time.
â Although the United States Constitution refers to âElectorsâ and âelectorsâ, neither the phrase âElectoral Collegeâ nor any other name is used to describe the electors collectively. It was not until the early 19th century that the name âElectoral Collegeâ came into general usage as the collective designation for the electors selected to cast votes for president and vice president. The phrase was first written into federal law in 1845, and today the term appears in 3 U.S.C. § 4, in the section heading and in the text as âcollege of electorsâ.[35]â
