Jon, thank you for taking the time to read the article, and I appreciate your comments.
I'm actually of the view that while in office, Obama stretched the jurisdiction of the executive branch in a manner that was unhealthy. However, as I stated in the article, I think both he and John McCain were qualified for the office in a way Trump is not.
I should also mention that my support for the original electoral college is largely unrelated to my views about Trump, but is instead the product of my appreciation for the philosophy of James Madison — it just so happens that Trump has shown Madison to be highly prescient.
I hope that sufficiently explains my motivation for writing this piece. Many thanks!
