    Nope:

    Federal republic - a state in which the powers of the central government are restricted and in which the component parts (states, colonies, or provinces) retain a degree of self-government; ultimate sovereign power rests with the voters who chose their governmental representatives.

    That is Federalism, not Republic, but a Federal Republic, the particular model in which the State functions

    Again, we have a democratic republic, not solely a republic, the USSR was a republic but not a democratic republic

    Blow me. I know the difference, However over ruling the popular vote for the anachronistic electoral college is not part of the definition. That is an American aberration.

    The reason Trump has a shot is his followers have not moved. Like he said ,he could shoot Hillary and the pope on 5th avenue and not lose voters.. Trump is a disaster or epic proportions and his followers are like puppy dogs ,wagging their tails and asking for a doggy biscuit. Trump is making enemies of out allies and his followers are happy about it., He makes friends with dictators and they applaud. He starts trade wars and they like it. He is attempting to destroy the freedom of the press. His people love it. There is no reasoning with people who are that easy to fool. Trump needs another 12 percent. that isn't so much to get. He can lie and cheat his way to get most of that.

    pretty much every one who's read your whining posts about the popular vote.......

    I would bet that before this election almost all Americans would want the electoral college removed.
    odd.....they've had a couple hundred years to do it and nothing........apparently you lose your bet........

    It is a fact. That is something that is foreign to your right wing beliefs. I have been against the electoral college since first year of college Poli Sci discussed it. It is not justifiable .

    Wait til daffy donald ends his 4th term and then we have a fair vote. By then, even suckups like yo will want to end the electoral college. Even Daffy said he wanted the electoral college to be ended. https://www.politico.com/story/2018/...ar-vote-555148 As you can see he thought about it on his own typical high level. Gave real Trumpian thought to the ramifications and whether it is a defensible system.

    Not surprised you cannot understand the real position. The point i make is that Donald not winning the popular vote ,should have made him realize that he does not have a mandate. That ,he should respect the opinions of the left because there are more of them than rightys. But Trump thinks he was elected king. So do you. But since the clear posts I made said that point, I am not surprised it escaped you.

    Yeah, because we all know they can't work either because they aren't documented right dumbfuck? Were you born a moron, or do you work at looking like one? That was rhetorical.
