You have entirely too much faith in the system. This system was supposed to prevent this situation from even happening. And it still happened. We had primaries filled with far more qualified people. And it still happened. Then we had a general election, and it still happened. We had debates that showed that he didn't know squat about anything, and it still happened. Then the Electoral College could have saved us, and it still happened.
I'm not going to have faith in the system. He will be appointing several supreme court justices and that will go a long way towards getting what he wants. Plus add in more cowardly GOP slugs who sold out everything they were supposed to be and we're looking at a recipe for disaster.

Nope! The electoral college is meant to represent the states, nothing more and nothing else ...
The electoral college was not intended to overturn the states popular vote, it's meant to stand by them ...
If you're not going to have faith in the system then you may as well not have faith in a state representative democracy or even a democracy in general ...
If you truly respected a democracy then it must also include respecting the result that you don't desire ...
