The electoral college. A brilliant construction designed to protect the little guy from the dangers of direct democracy’s mob-rule complexions…except for when the wrong candidate wins. (A discussion brought to you courtesy of whining Democrats on Facebook.)
And for the record, having seen Democrats elected President through the electoral college on a number of occasions, I can tell you with certainty that at no point have I, or any other conservative I can recall, ever pronounced this method of electing US presidents, out-dated, antiquated, or anything else, simply because a Democrat was chosen as a result.
