He dissed a war hero but was [like Cheney] essentially a draft dodger.

BERLIN (AP) — German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier says U.S. President Donald Trump’s election marks the end of an era, and Berlin will move quickly to secure “close and trusting trans-Atlantic cooperation based on common values” with the new administration.
Steinmeier wrote in Bild newspaper on Sunday that “with the election of Donald Trump, the old world of the 20th century is finally over” and “how the world of tomorrow will look is not settled.”
And better yet, although the people may have spoken, secondary institutions (US Electoral College) perform a function that usurps the will of the people.

Can you explain how its unsurps the will of the people when they participated in a system that was established to allow the states to elect the person who presides over the executive branch of a federal republic.
“With a firm grip on the presidency, Congress, and soon the Supreme Court, Republicans have won more political power in 2016 than in any election since at least 1928, when Herbert Hoover was elected to the White House. Democrats now face a deep hole they need to climb out of to fight back against the coming reactionary policy shift of the pending Trump administration and its allied state governments.”
Do all other direct elections not reflect the will of the people?
1. The popular view that the one/ the group, the winner, etc is the one who won by having more votes but this has proven to be a lie though it is grounded precedent and therefore legal.
