I would not say a word. But unlike you, I have principles and believe in the US Constitution.

Republicans tend to be more mature about not winning than democrats. I'm not going to burn down the businesses in my community when I need those businesses.

The Bush Campaign Plotted to Reject Election Results in 2000

While it’s almost forgotten now,*the George W. Bush campaign was planning to challenge the results of the 2000 vote if he lost the electoral vote, but won the popular vote. His campaign*hoped to spark a national movement*to pressure members of the Electoral College in states where the popular vote went*for Al Gore to ignore*that and instead vote in line with the national popular vote — thus making Bush president.

In the end, the reverse*happened. Bush won the Electoral College vote while losing the popular vote.

But in the weeks*before*the November 7, 2000, election,*it seemed more likely that Gore would get a majority of electoral votes, while Bush, lifted*by a wide margin in his home state of Texas, would have the most votes*by actual people. This possibility was*widely discussed, including in the Boston Globe and Christian Science Monitor and in an Associated Press polling analysis.

Gore was even preemptively criticized for winning under these circumstances. It “would be an outrage” said*Rep. Ray LaHood, R.-Ill.

NBC’s Chris Matthews said that*“knowing him as we do, [Gore] may have no problem taking the presidential oath after losing the popular vote to George W. Bush.” (Matthews lost interest in this issue when the opposite occurred. He later said that he himself had voted for Bush in 2000.)

The Electoral College is a real bitch ain't it?

[Callinectes]

I'm all for a GOP G.N.H.F.(Great National Hissy Fit). You morons on the left are going to be out in the cold for so long, you're going to need the entertainment. But if it happens, I do hope the R's exercise a little more decorum than the neo-comms. Right now, you're just embarrassing yourselves.

holy shit GROW THE FUCK UP cypress. My god your brain is fried, you are STILL stuck in bush days. That shit has been over for more than 8 years now. We've had 2 presidents since then. I feel like bush was old news like when justplainpolitics started in 2006. my god man did you get stuck in a time loop?

your post is retarded. No one can blame anyone close to the presidency from exhausting all options. This thread isn't about bush's opinions it's a question directed directly to JPP.

A better question is will you suddenly be OK with it happening if a Democrat does it? We both know you will be and say nothing about it.

And blocking interstate highways.

[Polly Prissy Pants]

No, as a republican I'm against running around acting like an immature asshole.

[anonymous201]

keep in mind, the whole calculus of political campaigning in the US is based on the electoral college system, especially swing states. if we switched to the popular vote, that would change everyone's strategies.

In the 2016, Donald Trump campaigned based on the system we use to elect a President while Hillary campaigned on winning a type of vote that doesn't make the determination. Sad part is when she lost, her supporters still bring up she won something that isn't part of the contest.

[MsDaisy]

I know the rules, and I think they're fair.

With that said, I'll be sure to give whiny liberals a taste of their own medicine.

Besides, everyone knows Hillary's popular vote victory is a result of illegal voters. Take away those illegal votes from illegal voters, and Trump wins the popular vote, too.
