Her worth is mostly from her cosmetics company. The rest is from endorsements, modeling, doing ad work, TV salary, and appearance fees.

But rest assured, being associated with the K name when that show was at the height of its popularity opened most of the doors. She was more than savvy enough to take advantage though.

Funny thing that during the Reagan years the left blasted the Reagan and the Republicans for the Cold War. Now that Trump triumphantly won the 2016 elections - a decisive win over Hillary Rodham Clinton - they desperately want that Cold War back.

I don't think getting less votes but winning on the technicality of the electoral college counts as decisive. The majority of Americans don't want him.

"The technicality of the electoral college" was brought to bare by our Founding Father as to ascertain the equality of share interest in governance between rural and urban population of this country of ours. Nay, to those who disagreeth.

Mostly so smaller states would maximize their influence and actually sign off on the damn Constitution. The only reason conservatives support the electoral college is because it disproportionately benefits them. America is not as conservative as elections would have you believe but we still have to deal with backwards conservative nonsense.

Half of the US population lives in nine states. If it was by population, then it's possible only cities in California, Texas, Florida, and New York would be making the decisions. All those small states, and small town wouldn't have any say. If it swings back and forth between Republican and Democratic every one or two presidential elections, than it must be achieving what it's suppose to do.

Who would want to live in a country where everything is basically decisively decided by California and N.Y. every election though? Texas is the only "big" red state that's worth anything serious in the electoral college, and even if Florida swung red every election...well, it doesn't turn out well for the red states.

I'm all for a new system if it makes sense. I just don't think the popular vote being everything is a viable alternative to what we have now.
