Without the electoral college in it's current form there would be no need for presidential elections---the liberal people of New York and California would be the one's to decide who our president is.  Take away the votes of California and Trump wins the popular vote too.  When one looks at a voting map of America one can see our nation still has traditional values and pride . The problem is in the large cities where values , morals , and justice don't matter at all.  It's so bad in these cities they defy federal law and harbor law breakers and in Chicago slaughter each other on a daily basis.  Trump is the last firewall to stop all that is wrong with America.
