Pointless petulance

There have been disruptive demonstrations in several cities protesting the election of Donald Trump. These demonstrations are akin to a petulant adolescent, stamping his foot because he has to eat his spinach. Trump did not get the popular vote because of California's lopsided Clinton vote, but he did win the electoral college vote. That's our system, like it or not. Donald Trump, warts and all, is president-elect of the USA, and no amount of foot stamping is going to change that.
