    So in reality Dems only have 1 more landslide than the Republicans. But the Republicans have 1 more president. Thanks for playing.


    Edited to correct omission.
    Nixon vs. Agnew: Nixon got 520 electoral votes, biggest margin ever and 60.7% of the popular vote.

    Ah, the prefatory clause was "if," and "if" that happens, solid articles of impeachment fly thru the House and America gets to watch the Senate Republicans on live TV without a FOX filter rationalize what was revealed

    Not the Democrats who are back pedaling, having to come up rationalizations for nearly daily revelations, having melt downs in meetings, changing deflections quicker than a hot knife thru butter, as I noted, going their way

    The Democratic Party of the Jackass and the PHONY media have done nothing but lie since Trump as been the Republican nominee.

    The Democratic Party of the Jackass and the PHONY media have been having a meltdown since November 2016.

    The Democratic Party of the Jackass and the PHONY media have been deflecting and promoting false narratives since November of 2016.

    Buy a mirror you despicable lying leftist hack.

    Only an idiot would think the EC is outdated. In fact it's more important to a fair election than ever.

    Good article a must read.

    "Many people who are currently calling for the abolition of the Electoral College, however, don’t realize the chaos that would result.

    Two elements of the “Great Compromise” among the large and small states led to the ratification of the Constitution. A House of Representatives would reflect the popular vote—disadvantaging the small states—but a Senate would give the small states equal representation with the large ones.
    This idea was carried through to the Electoral College, where each state’s allocation of electoral votes is simply the total of its representation in the House and Senate. This again gave the smaller states some additional power in the important choice of the president.
    Leaving aside the fact that a deal is a deal, there are very practical reasons why we will always need the Electoral College under our current constitutional system.

    The most important is that we want the presidential election to settle the question of legitimacy—who is entitled carry on the office of the president. Under the Constitution, the person who receives the most electoral votes becomes the president, even if he or she does not receive either a plurality or a majority of the popular vote.
    In the election of 1992, Bill Clinton received a majority of electoral votes and was the duly elected president, despite the fact that he received only a plurality (43 percent) of the popular votes. A third party candidate, Ross Perot, received almost 19 percent. In fact, Bill Clinton did not win a majority of the popular vote in either of his elections, yet there was never any doubt—because he won an Electoral College majority—that he had the legitimacy to speak for the American people.
    This points to the reason why the Electoral College should remain as an important element of our governmental structure. If we had a pure popular vote system, as many people who are disappointed with the 2016 outcome are now proposing, it would not be feasible—because of third party candidates—to ensure that any candidate would win a popular majority. Even in 2016, for example, although Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, she only received a plurality (48 percent)—not a majority; third party candidates took the rest."

    The electoral college has been used in every election since G. Washington. When is the last time the 3rd Amendment was applied?

    Was the EC outdated when Obama won the required 270 majority?

    True, but that method of selecting electors was not the one designed by the Founders and there is still no provision for popular votes in the Constitution. The method for choosing electors was left to each state and all the states eventually went to popular election.

    The Founders thought the electors would just sit around and vote for the person they thought would be the best president. They would not be choosing from among candidates running for that office or nominated by parties. They assumed most electors would vote for somebody from their own state which is why they couldn't vote for two people from the same state. Originally, they did not vote for president and vp, but just two people and the winner (if a majority) would be president and the second place would be vp (Adams and his VP Jefferson were from different parties).

    Some feared the states would eventually allow the people to vote on electors which is one reason Franklin said they created a republic, "if you can keep it." He feared it would "deteriorate" into a democracy.

    Trump and his crime family are actually in a mudslide and will be buried under it forthwith.
    BLUEXIT
    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.
