Senators are not elected by popular vote of the country either. They are selected by popular vote of their state. If it were as you say, California would be voting on our Senators, congressmen and local city council. I get that your not happy about the results of the election, the guy I voted for didn't win either... In fact the guy that I would have voted for, had his election stolen by the DNC rigging the election for Hillary. Ironically, had the DNC not meddled with their own primary, not blasted misinformation about Sanders, and had not withheld the corruption of Hillary; that we would be looking forward to a Sanders president elect. The DNC lost this independent voter for this election, because Hillary was never a person I could vote for, ever. The only thing we can do, is stand by, hope that Trump is successful at running our country, and if he is as bad as some claim, vote him out in 4 years. If you can't be American, leave!
