2020 shows how broken our American democratic system is. Time to rethink the electoral college and the election process.

[JM-xrzs]

This kind of stuff used to be on the history channel.

[curiouscat]

Wow - two very interesting people. I love that MSNBC is educating us on the history we never got in school. My book list is growing :) Good question by Heileman

[russellberwick]

The founders seem to be like a political version of the Beatles, as a team, the study the oldies, and made them better, which made them start creating thier own songs, which made them even greater.

[bryanmoney]

Please get people and money to Georgia...we have to put mm back in his turtle shell...please democrats go be heard....jb did it now take the rest..ty

[vestspet]

Wow. So, he was correct in understanding that human nature needed to be held in check. Who would've thunk it? Do you think he's sitting somewhere with Thomas Jefferson admonishing him and saying he was right. That we, as Americans, need to have checks and balances.

[vasp]

They could have looked at the model of Sparta where women had full rights .

[David..]

There's only one narrative going on here. Bad Trump must concede.

[jokekelleey]

President Trump you had to throw president Trump in there every time every time you people talk or every time you say something you got to throw Trump in there as a positive.

[CharlesLandell]

The man who proposed the 2nd amendment. 🇺🇸

[dynamicdave]

James madison should be in top 5 or top 7 of best presidents list

[panchopuskas]

[thomassurette]

My prediction Donald Trump tries to Pardon himself
