If Trump wins the popular vote in 2020, all the liberal States he lost who pass this thing will have to award him their Electoral College votes after all.
His 2020 win will be ‘Yuge !
MAGA ! Go Trump !
The Electoral College is part of the Constitution and its purpose was to avoid large cities from choosing who would preside over all of the United States.
In 2016, if one subtracts the cities of Los Angeles and Chicago, Donald Trump ties or wins the popular vote. Subtract the 4 Burroughs of NYC that went against him and he wins the popular vote by several million votes.
And that is not even accounting for voter fraud which is just now starting to leak out in official investigations.
The EC is indeed a vanguard that protects the Republic against the mob tyranny of big city corruption.
But those who for whatever reason believe the popular vote is the true sign of public expression, that it should be predominate as an untouchable principle, they should note that the Trump campaign was planned around the EC and would have been planned differently if a popular vote victory was the focus. In other words, Donald Trump won the election according to the rules laid out and if those rules were somehow changed to winning a popular vote, then Donald Trump’s campaign would have gone out to win the popular vote and he would likely have won that way too.
So the next time we encounter someone that smirks and mocks with the refrain “but she won the popular vote”, we can say it doesn’t matter, she lost her bid to be President, and if popular vote is the rule, we’ll win that too.
With California's "ballot harvesting" laws now fully in play, I don't think any Republican presidential candidate will ever again win the popular vote.
all the liberal States he lost who pass this thing will have to award him their Electoral College votes after all.
‘all the liberal States he lost who pass this thing will have to award him their Electoral College votes after all.’
uh, no...
