I just had a bit of an existential moment... the original purposes of the electoral college were to help streamline the election process and also as a trapdoor in case the village idiots voted for someone really stupid, they could catch and fix it.

Well... for as much as we hate the electoral college... aren't we flirting with activating the 2nd contingency right now? How ironic, that one of the very reasons the college exists may turn out to be its undoing? If they pull it off, I seriously can't imagine it surviving to 2020.
