Kind of a pointless discussion when a large portion of the US electorate does not even think there is a problem and feels the system is working the way it was designed to work.
This debate is a bit like the PR debate in Canada where you have a minority of the population obsessed with the percentages that parties get in the legislatures while the majority is more concerned about good government.
Actually recent polls show that ~54% of Americans want the POTUS to be elected by pop. vote, while only 30% want to keep the current EC system as is. The 14 states plus the D of C that support the compact have 189 EC votes on their side and 270 are needed to make it go into effect. I won't be surprised to see these numbers grow in favor of the compact even though Trump will harp against it, assuming he even understands it that is.
