Electoral College works to some extent but is now mostly just an expression of the wills of each party as they seem to have a great deal of say in who becomes Electors.

That's why Trump was assured election despite what the popular vote was. It is just more party politics and politics as usual. And from his appointments Donald Trump is showing that he is just part of the same old same old group of people mainly looking out for themselves and their friends and families and keeping things just like they have been. No swamp draining here that I see. Bigger government with Donald Trump and more entrenchment of the rich and powerful.
