Which government takeover? We have several it seems. The Trump machine, the Russians, The Religious Kook Fest, Conservative tribal nationalists and on down the list? I would include Republicans, but I actually think they are hanging out with the passenger pigeons.

That was the stated reason, the pretext, for the EC. The real reason was to placate the southern and rural states—ie, the slave states.

Well, Trump is “not normal,{” not even close to being “normal.”
