    We have a reasonable electorate, inasmuch as Trump has no chance of ever winning the popular vote and never did. What we don’t have is a rational electoral system where all votes are equal.

      Let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. Trump got something like 74,000,000 votes.

          Those who don’t vote are essentially choosing to vote for whoever wins. Those ≈120,000,000 people also effectively voted for Trump.
