Like Andrew Jackson

Just a brief refresher on American history.  Andrew Jackson was the first president elected by popular vote in the states.  Several states had replaced chosen electors with citizen voting.  It was widely recognized at the time (and abhorred) as the first upset of the elites. In Jackson's second election most states had replaced elite electors with popular vote and Jackson won overwhelmingly.

You might note, because my readers are far above average, that the recent Democratic primary had overtones of popular votes in most states going for one candidate (Hillary) and the party caucus elites going for someone else... who won.
