January 20, 2017 at noon Eastern. Mark it on your calendars as it'll be the first time in history that a billionaire moves into public housing vacated by a black family. That's right, Donald Trump has won enough states to carry a majority of the votes in the electoral college phase, but only one thing can stop him: the faithless electors. Those are people who don't vote for the candidate they were pledged to. And that means that all the other candidates still have a chance. But that won't necessarily happen. In fact, they should just get rid of the electoral college and have the winner of the popular vote (which at time of posting is still Trump by just over 1 million votes) declared president. This way, the territories (Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Guam, Northern Marianas, and American Samoa) can vote in the election without having to make special arrangements for electoral college representation, and America wouldn't have had to suffer eight years of Bush despite Al Gore winning the popular vote in 2000. Oh, and term limits on Congressmen and Senators. Politicians are like diapers - they both need to be changed regularly for the same reason.
