I dont know really enough about the electoral college and its history and intent, but an interesting comment about keeping the electoral college I heard was:
Imagine if the world was one country. If there was an election for a leader, and no electoral college, China and India would have almost half the votes. Would you want two countries by themselves to be (almost) the decider of who got elected?
(Of course those two countries would not necessary vote 100% for one person, but you get the idea)

Exactly.
And all those people who complain about the "unfair" representation in the Electoral Collage by Wyoming are strangely silent about Delaware and Rhode Island.
See "Tyranny of the majority."

The electoral college is one of the few things that Trump isn't whining about, however if he'd won the popular vote and lost the election you can bet your house on the fact that he would be.

I don't believe I can remember a world leader that has been such a whiny little bitch.

Yeah - he's doesn't like the electoral college. He's always been a popular vote guy.

The only reason he didn't win it in 2016 was because of massive voter fraud.

She’s done her share of whining, but Trump has done more in the last 30 days than she has her whole life.
