La la land versus reality.  Total votes actually cast in 2012 versus theoretical numbers.  I guess in La la land the remaining 77% shouldn't complain who gets elected because they didn't bother to cast their vote.

Speaking of theory did you know that under your mob rule, direct democracy, model a president could get elected with only 10% of the popular vote?

"Mob rule implies that people are violent or unruly. You seem to automatically want to assume that majority = mob, which is fallacious. Mob rule doesn't apply in the scenario we're talking about. If the popular vote had elected Clinton, what would be mob-like about that? Nearly 3 million more people makes an election suddenly one of mob-rule? "

Regarding your mob rule remarks, it is apparent that you didn't bother reading Federalist 10.
