He claims to have taught American Government in a university setting for about three decades. If he truly does not understand and accept why the founders came up with the electoral college, he had no business teaching that subject. He just cannt emotionally accept defeat.

I would find that hilarious that a teacher doesn't know why we have the electoral.

Putin is making a mockery out of Trump. Have you also forgotten during the Helsinki press conference, when Trump declared he took Putin's word over 17 U.S Intel agencies that Russia had hacked/interfered in the 2016 elections, and Putin offered to have Russian Intel work with U.S.Intel to discern if indeed Russia had interfered in our elections, Trump was all for that idea ? If you were POTUS, and 17 of your intel agencies all agreed that indeed, Putin/Russia beyond any doubt had interfered, would you be like Trump and side with Putin's word as you threw our 17 U.S.Intel agencies under the bus for the entire world to observe ?

Sounds like you have grounds for impeachment II right here. What's the hold up?

Hitler’s useful idiots: 5*members of the elite who helped create the Nazi monster

The rabid anti-communist: Alfred Hugenberg (1865–1951)

Hugenberg was a major player in the German media during the Weimar years, and became leader of the rightwing German National People’s party in 1928. A staunch opponent of communism, socialism and the Treaty of Versailles, he cooperated with the Nazi party, forming an alliance with them and other rightwing elements in 1931. He initially served under Hitler’s chancellorship and believed the Nazis could be restrained, but was soon dissuaded of that notionas his party was dissolved a few months later.

*

The Catholic fixer: Franz von Papen (1879–1969)

From a Catholic landowning family, von Papen held senior posts during the First World War. He served in the Reichstag from 1921 as a member of a Catholic political party, and was appointed chancellor in 1932 during the dying days of Weimar. He was later instrumental in persuading Paul von Hindenburg to make Hitler chancellor. Von Papen continued to hold senior positions during the Third Reich, spending most of the Second World War as ambassador to Turkey. He was acquitted at the Nuremberg trials.

*

The ailing war hero: Paul von Hindenburg (1847–1934)

Born into the Prussian aristocracy, von Hindenburg came to prominence during the First World War, where he was one of the key protagonists of the German military campaign. His status as a war hero saw him elected president of Germany in 1925. Following the collapse of the German economy, from 1930 the government was largely operating under his decree. Re-elected president in 1932, von Hindenburg sought to keep the Nazis at bay but felt compelled to appoint Hitler chancellor in 1933. The aged president offered little opposition to the new regime and died in office the following year.

*

The enemy of the regime: Kurt von Schleicher (1882–1934)

The last chancellor of Weimar Germany, von Schleicher spent most of his career in the army, until he switched to politics when the republic began to totter. As one of the key figures in German politics after 1929, he helped bring von Papen to power and then succeeded him in December 1932. He tried to make an accommodation with Hitler but was rebuffed and, following his replacement by the Nazi leader, came to be viewed as an enemy of the Third Reich. He was murdered during the Night of the Long Knives.

*

The captain of industry: Fritz Thyssen (1873–1951)

One of Germany’s wealthiest men during the Weimar era, Thyssen took over his father’s steel and iron empire in 1926. He was an early supporter of the Nazis, providing them with funds and, crucially, working to arrange contacts with other leading industrialists, which ultimately helped fuel their rise to power. Thyssen eventually lost faith in the Nazis and fled the country during the Second World War, before being returned and spending time in the concentration camp system.

Very good, you've read some WW2 history. Oh, and the US was doing business and profiting from the Nazis (IBM, Ford, GM, Standard Oil etc.), both before and well into the war, so there's that to consider.

No it's whining. If you cannot even admit to the quite valid rationale the founding fathers came up with to write the electoral college into the US Constitution and just express your opposition to it, then you are just whining. Your "it's outdated and a relic of the 1700s" rant just does not hold water. You are arguing against the concept of "United States of America".

Shot himself twice in the head. No nefarious Clinton action there. Nothin to see.
 
Amusing to see how Trump drawing big crowds triggers liberals.

By the way those "Trump hats" were emblazoned with 'welcome'. They were all given a hat. 'Free hat? I'll have one, thanks'.
