Also; I'll give Donald credit for one thing. Nobody else has even come close to making Ted Cruz look like a quivering bitch the way Donald did.
The problem is, two states would then control the outcome of all elections. If you removed the state of California, Trump won by a few million. Clinton beat Trump by over 3.4M votes in CA alone. The electoral college gives all states say, that's why our founding fathers went with that direction and not he popular vote. Approx 2/3's of California usually vote Democrat in turn, with the largest population in the country would control the outcome of a popular vote election. California gives the most electoral college votes in the country at 55 so it can keep any side in an election."fair and square" is not the same as lawfull.
The electoral college is antiquated and needs overhauling or outright deprecation. It clearly gives more influence to states that have less population density. And that is not fair or balanced. But it is legal.
Just wait and see if Warren gets the Democratic vote and debates against Trump. I can see it now, Trump walking out on stage wearing a Indian headdress.Also; I'll give Donald credit for one thing. Nobody else has even come close to making Ted Cruz look like a quivering bitch the way Donald did.

That would definitely help prove that he is a very stable genius.Just wait and see if Warren gets the Democratic vote and debates against Trump. I can see it now, Trump walking out on stage wearing a Indian headdress.

Buttery emails are still oiled up, apparently
I await the investigations of Jared and Ivanka's email practices:
Maybe trump could ask Russia for them?At this point I assume they are just trying to find dirt on Biden in said emails.
Ask, and Ye shall receive.Speaking of Rudy, please dear sweet baby @FSM, may Rudy do all the Sunday morning political shows. His mouth is the political gift that just keeps on fucking giving. Implicate some more people, you god damned ghoul.
it sounds like someone on the receiving end of a relationship with a narcissistic abuser. totally skewed view on reality.You're wasting your time with that one. You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into in the first place. Perhaps this could help?

As Toshi pointed out, the Electoral College is an anachronistic "power-sharing" arrangement that was put in place SIMPLY to get the southern states to join the Union. They counted slaves as 3/5 of a "person" to figure out how many Congressional delegates (and subsequently how many Electors) each state would get, despite the fact that the slaves COULD NOT VOTE. That, in and of itself, is fucked up. But a compromise of its time.The problem is, two states would then control the outcome of all elections.

I guess you can take the smallest state, find out how many registered voters there are and then only allow the same numbers of voters in every state so everything is even, voters in larger states would be chosen by lottery every 4 years. That way a larger population could not control the outcome and there would be your popular vote. However we're all aware, that's not fair either.
Oh, absolutely. That doesn't change the fact that the Electoral College is an outdated method and should be abandoned.Then again, if the tables were turned, I'm willing to bet the left would be saying the electoral college is totally fair. Just say'n, and you know I'm right.

This is nothing more than more consolidation of power.
Their political affiliation means noting, big AG saw nothing.
i'm inclined to say yes, as there's still quite a bit of suspicion around his father's "suicide"could be an interesting development if any merit to the story ...
