You and the folks that envisioned and enshrined the Electoral College are 100% correct. Obviously why the Left wants to abolish it, right?
Personally, I’d love to see the Electoral College applied on the state level as well. No reason that Atlanta, Columbus/Muscogee, Augusta, Savannah, should have that much sway over the other 150-odd counties in the state. I don’t care if there are 1 million voters in Fulton County and 200 voters in Union County, Fulton shouldn’t outweigh Union so easily. And it’s like that all over the country. Illinois is about as RED as it gets if it weren’t for Chicago. Same thing for Colorado, NY, and Cali, for that matter. Imagine what this country and our Congress would look like if that were the case. Toss in the abolishing the 17th Amendment and letting the State legislatures pick. We’d be looking at at least 60-65 Republican’s in the Senate. Not that they are all shining Conservative stars, but I’d take that over what we have now.
I don’t see the country as you, I, and a whole lot of others, lasting much longer, in the way that we’d all like it to. There’s too much division and there’s really no way to change anyone’s mind. Of course, there are a lot more silent folks in the middle that we never hear about. But, the Left is getting loonier and more hateful by the minute. And, a significant part of that can be laid at the feet of the previous occupant of the White House. He was allowed to act with impunity and never be held responsible. And now the Left thinks they can do the same thing.
It’s interesting. Talk to someone that doesn’t like the President. Ask them why. Their answer’s are because he did this or that or because he said this or that. Next question(s)...give me an example of him doing ‘this or that’ or him saying ‘this or that’. I think, about 90% of the time, they won’t be able to answer you. I’m not sure you can compete against that, nor should you have to. Look at these college kids that are interviewed. They have no idea what they’re talking about and just regurgitate what they hear, without being able to support it with facts. How would you feel if you’re the parent, signing checks, finding out that your kid has been transformed in some robotic socialist.
