"Trump pushes to swap Electoral College for popular vote"

[archives]

"President Donald Trump on Thursday voiced support for doing away with the Electoral College for presidential elections in favor of a popular vote"

"The president’s support for a popular-vote presidential election came as an aside during a freewheeling Thursday morning interview with “Fox & Friends,” the Fox News morning show he is known to watch and from which he receives almost unflinchingly positive coverage.'

And you know it is true if it is said on "Fox and Friends"

Certainly puts all those conservatives in bind, all last year they endorsed and defended the Electoral College and now they get the rug pulled out from beneath them.

But don't worry there conservatives, you can just about bank that it is a lie, shocking, another Trump lie, but Trump has zero interest in the Electoral College, its just that his ego won't let him ever get over getting swamped in the popular vote, and the Trumpkins echo the Democrats can't get over the election

If he does that, than I will have to say Trump did something right.

He has no intention of abondoning the Electoral College, he'd never win otherwise, as I said, his ego just won't let him forget he got embarrassed in the popular vote

He can't unilaterally change it and not enough states would vote for it so don't freak out

The EC reflects the make up up Congressional representation..
I don't hear any complaints about Congress's representation

How does one get embarrassed by something that isn't what determines the winners?

When it comes to electing a President, we use the electoral college system, something that you Hillary supporters are still embarrassed knowing you couldn't win. The final score is what counts and the final score is determined by the Electoral College. In the most recent election, that score was 304 -227 in favor of Trump.

Even your state of California wouldn't support it. CA having 20% of the required 270 EV it takes to win gets them a lot of attention politically.

What would make anyone embarrassed? Do you ever make sense? This was the 4th time the EC determined the president. It is stupid, but it is our system, and Trump cannot change it.

Fuck the popular vote.

And this is the time to have that discussion. Not immediately after whichever side loses the next election.

Ask archives. He's the one that said Trump would be embarrassed


The electoral college has picked the winner all the way back to G. Washington. Overall popular doesn't pick the winner just like most total yards didn't pick the winner of the Superbowl last February. Final score did. IN 2016, it was 304 - 227 for Trump. Hillary got her ass kicked.
