Today Limbaugh was making it sound like not having a vote is enshrined in the Constitution.
Likened it to the electoral college, Congress picking the president if there is a tie, etc.
Went on about we’re a republic not a democracy, so Trump is wrong to say anything about democracy.
A bit much I think.
When the Constitution was written, they did not envision the popular vote having any direct part in the presidential election. The voters would elect their state legislatures; the state legislatures would select the members of the Electoral College; the Electoral College would vote for President and Vice-president.
I quit listening to Rush a decade ago. He is too boring and slow to make his points. Way to repetitive for my taste.
He has really sank low if he’s trying to justify this debacle. Rush would be better off to focus on another topic instead of advertising he’s such a pawn.
The primary election is nothing like the Electoral College which is a much more proportional representation. Shoot, we have islands voting that we never knew existed. And they pay no taxes yet have higher delegate counts than some of our original states.
States are rewarded in the timeline of the primary election that typically pick losers and then they vote Democrat at the GE. The entire set up is geared towards controlling the outcome for the desired result.
