    Only when it doesn't go their way. Ever notice that there are no calls to get rid of the Electoral College when the Dems take the WH?

    It's not that there are no calls when that happens, we just don't hear about it constantly. The 'Rats own the populous cities of LA, NYC and Chicago, have for a long time, and that's all they need to win every presidential race. I've heard them wanting to do away with the electoral college since I first became politically aware, in the 60's.

    That's because it's a rare occurrence that a Dem doesn't win in a popular landslide as well as electoral, Piggle-sty

    Rare? There have been many GOP presidents in the last century. Why do you lie so much?

    If, if, if, if, if. ANYTHING is statistically possible. Won't happen. TRUMP WAS IN THE BOTTOM 20% of electoral wins in all 58 elections. And got 3,000,000 less votes. He's going to sweep the board next time?

    Unless maybe he can get RUSSIA to fix the electoral college.

    Maybe but the more you go on claiming its a fact, the more I see desperation.

    Not quite correct in the last 50 years here are the percentages of electoral votes. *indicates land slide.


    9th= G W Bush 50.37% and 53.16%

    8th= Carter 55.2%

    7th= Nixon 55.95%

    6th= Trump 56.5%

    5th= Obama 61.71% *
    67.84% *
    4th= G W Bush 79.18% * 1st win was a squeaker.

    3rd= Clinton 68.77% *
    70.45% *

    2nd= LBJ 90.33% *

    1st= Reagan 90.89% *
    97.58% *

    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.

    Are you daft, extend it back another twenty years and your conclusion is reversed, further back and it is forgotten

    Nah, probably no time soon, why would they when they don't have to, especially when they have everything going there way
