This country was founded on the constitution...

... as a democratic republic; not a democracy.

Every year people talk about the electoral college, but in election years those conversations skyrocket. In 2016, when Donald Trump won the election but lost the popular vote, the cries to get rid of the electoral college were as loud as they've ever been.

What would happen if those voices got their way?

What if the Electoral College was eliminated?

It turns out, lots of things will happen, and if you love this country, then you're not going to like the results.

Tune in for this week's episode and find out the figurative nuclear option to the United States of America.
