Last November, Donald Trump became the forty-fifth President of the United States even though Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 2.7 Million votes. Donald Trump won because of the Electoral College. The Electoral College gives each state a number of electors that can range from three to fifty-five depending on the size of the state. The number of electors is decided by combining the number of senators and representatives that state has. To win the presidential election, a candidate would have to get 270 electoral votes, if neither candidate gets 270 electoral votes then the senate and the House of Representatives get to choose the president or vice president. This system completely ignores the popular vote and the will of the people.

Arnold H. Glasow once stated, “Success is simple. Do what's right, the right way, at the right time.” Success comes in multiple forms depending on who you are and what your values consist of. In this article, Why Everyone Shouldn’t Go to College, written by Larry Cuban and reposted in the Washington Post by Valerie Strauss, pontificates on the importance of informing students college doesn’t always equate to success. More than half of college graduates flee into low-paying jobs even with high educational degrees. Cuban sheds some light on the alternatives to make money without spending a ridiculous amount on college. With that said, educating young scholars on the options they possess instead of hiding them, will further increase

The popular vote does not count in the same way as the electoral vote does. Even though Hillary Clinton won the popular vote with her 65,844,954 votes to Trump’s 62,979,879, Trump won the election.6 However, this is not only the first time the candidate with the least amount of votes wins the election, for example when George W. Bush beat Al Gore on Electoral College, but lost on popular vote. This idea is not popular among everyone, one of them is Kevin Bleyer, “No one likes the Electoral College, except those who were elected because of it.” 7 Exactly of this reason, many Americans reacted with anger when President Trump was elected on Electoral College, but Clinton won the popular vote. This is a problem with modern elections in the US and has brought up problems after the outcome of the

Once, when I was eight years old, I was wandering through my elementary school's library just to see what might grasp my curious approach. As I walked down the non-fiction isle, I spotted a book-the title I cannot recall-which had a picture of a flaming sphere on its front cover. I was immediately intrigued. I knew what it was the second that my eyes caught sight of it. What fascinated me about the cover was not that the image was an image of the sun, but the fact that there was an enormous ball of hot gas just floating in space. I read the whole thing from front to cover. I wanted to know how long it had existed, how it was formed, how it doesn't burn us all alive if the Earth is so close to it, and what would happen if it died? This book ignited a spark in me which would eventually allow my cosmological curiosity to grow.

Two professors of different backgrounds, Mike Rose of California, and Gerald Graff, of Illinois, discuss the problems college students face today in America. Though similar in slight variations, both professors view the problem in different regards and prepare solutions that solve what they feel to be the heart of this academic problem.

Last election, Donald Trump won the electoral college by 74 electoral votes, but he lost the popular vote by almost three million. The system is not fair towards the people in the election. Even the president who won is this broken system said in a 2012 tweet “The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy. The Electoral College is the current system we have for electing president. The Electoral College should be abolished and replaced because it is unfair, poorly regulated and there are better alternatives such as the majority vote.

Ice ages are well documented in Earth’s history, and they are proven to be relatively frequent. But what if that ice age persisted over not just regions near the poles, but around the equator as well? The term “snowball Earth” refers to a condition where Earth is completely covered by ice. Evidence indicates that snowball Earth may have been around in the Neoproterozoic. In fact, evidence points to the conclusion that these conditions happened three separate times in the Neoproterozoic. A snowball Earth condition is hard to prove, but this theory may explain several different phenomena. However, it is not accepted by all, there is evidence against a snowball Earth as well. Some believe that a snowball Earth would not have been possible in past climate conditions while there are views that defend the idea of more of a ‘slushball’ Earth rather than a planet entirely frozen on the surface.

To secure the win the candidate must pass 270 of the electoral votes and even though seemed to be ahead of the race having more popular votes Trump passed 270 electoral votes just hours after the polls closed. Donald won 279 of the electoral votes while Hillary only won 228. Regardless of whether Trump had more or less of the popular votes it all comes down to the electoral votes. Although Trump has made many racist comments and angered many Hispanics he surprisingly won a lot of their votes which helped his victory with the electorate vote; As for African American voter the electorate vote went down slightly.(7 reasons) Compared to Obama Hillary just didn't do as well as he did when it comes to electoral votes and the popular vote. Trump on the other hand won the states of Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Ohio, all which voted for Obama both elections. Trump was not only lucky by winning over states who were expected to be won by Hillary but got a lot of help when Hillary's email incident sparked outrage in many

Lets be very clear you fake!! Know your facts!! Stop spreading false statements. Drumpf (his real last name) won the vote BECAUSE RUSSIA help him by hacking our political system (Republican and Democrats) for their interest. We believe in Democracy and our Constitution, which it seems that you are not familiar with it. Elector are coming together to do the right thing for our COUNTRY!! not for democrats or republicans but for all of us as a nation. If you read the Constitution, you find that our founders envisioned electors as people who could prevent an irresponsible demagogue from taking office. Are you blind not to see what his real motifs are? 3 million votes of illegal immigrants? That right there shows me how ignorant and hypocrite you

I think it’s important to point out that Clinton was chosen by the people, and Trump was chosen by the system. Why? Well, as of right now, she has 230K votes over Trump, meaning that she has won the popular vote--the vote of the people. I think this is one of the many reasons why a lot of Americans are furious (including myself) because they believe that their vote is in vain considering that the electoral college ultimately chooses the president.

Despite voting is not compulsory in United States, and the large majority of voters made their choice in favour of the Democratic Party, the election depends on the number of votes in the Electoral College, where Republican Donald Trump won by 278/578. His ideas rest on his firm slogan “Make America great again,” idea that involves a sense of racism, xenophobia, and to strongly disagree with the idea of the climate change, something that affects us all.

In present day today, President Donald trump won the election, not by popular vote. Instead, Donald trump won the presidential election through an Electoral College process. Also, in 2000 we have George W. Bush who received the greatest number of electoral votes, and thus won the presidency, didn’t win the popular vote. Electoral

“In fall 2016, some 20.5 million students are expected to attend American colleges and universities, constituting an increase of about 5.2 million since fall 2000” (National Center for Education Statistics). That number seems to be rising each and ever year, and it almost seems as students feel like they have to go to college directly after high school. Maybe it is because they feel that they have to fit in, even if college is not for them. Although some students attend college for academics, sports, and other reasons, some students attend college for no apparent reason; with that in mind, students should take into consideration the time and money that is put into going to college.

Are too many people going to college? This is the question that has pondered many over the past few years. With increasing tuition and increasing attendance, college is becoming “not everything that it is cracked up to be.” Charles Murray, an author from the American Enterprise Institute, wrote an article in 2008 entitled “Are Too many People Going to College?” In the article he makes the arguments that the concept of college is slowly changing. Social norms are decimating the system, people get way too ahead of themselves with their life plans, and the system is suffering as a direct result. Murray indirectly states that too many people are going to college, sending the current system into shambles. Murray effectively states his opinion through persuasive writing, a simple structure, and notable examples that draw the audience into the essay.

When the results of voting on Election Day were released, Republican Nominee Donald J. Trump won the presidency with 290 electoral votes and 61,201,031 popular votes, compared to Clinton’s 232 electoral votes and 62,523,126 popular votes. Although Donald Trump lost the popular vote, he had won where it
