The good work of the founders, and it was pretty good in many respects, is not holy and sacred. And it's not like we follow it anyway. The founders envisioned an independent electoral college that would deliberate and say NO to the majority if they voted for a demagogue like Trump. That was a big part of it's purpose. Since we don't have that, we've left the Constitution behind already. So I certainly don't favor following our bastardized Constitution if it means the racist fascist gets back in.
