No, I'm just kidding, but joking aside, what would you say the pros and cons of the Electoral College are? 

After so many decades, and I am being naive here, why not give another party the chance to govern? Does it have to be the Republicans or Democrats?

=================

I just wrote a paper on this topic for my Democracy class. To keep it simple, the French political scientist Maurice Duverger noted the electoral process is what determines the number of major parties in a democracy. This has become known as Duverger's Law.

Other democracies like Italy, Germany, India, etc. have many political parties represented in their congress or parliament. In the US, however, we have a single member district plurality system where winner takes all. They do not need to win with a majority, just more than their rivals – a plurality of votes. Political parties then strive to be as large and inclusive as possible. As a result, two parties will usually dominate plurality electoral systems to the disadvantage of third and minor parties.

Has he had an epiphany in later life that has changed him from a liberal into this right wing caricature we see before us?

Was that writer Jim Starlin? That's sounds very much like the plot of INFINITY GAUNTLET.

(Now somebody just needs to photoshop Donald wearing it!)

That's pretty much what I've been thinking, too. Not that I want to see Trump anywhere near the White House, but the saving grace if that did happen is that he's pissed off so many people that nobody on either side will want to work with him....and though he does not seem to realize it at the moment, he does not have the power to enact his crazy notions alone.
