Expect the rats to come out with their old BS about getting rid of the electoral college and go right to a popular vote. The rats are so much smarter than our founders, you know.
Retribution is such an evil beast. (Payback is a b!tch, for those of you in Rio Linda.)
Vote Fraud.
'Nuff said.
Never underestimate the ability of the Stupid Party to cast victory into the jaws of defeat.
Not sure what the author’s point is. He seems to be just dumb.
Those three states with 27 or so electoral votes didn’t make a difference in 2008 or 2012, and they almost certainly won’t in 2016. The familiar ground of Florida and Ohio are much more key.
The Democrats have no choice but to run a Black candidate for President from now on, or they won’t be able to energize their base. Also, if they run a White candidate, they will be accused of racism.
This was a logical bill introduced by the Senate Majority leader and favored by the GOP majority in the House to put us under the district system used by Maine and Nebraska: one electoral vote awarded to the winner of each congressional district, two for the winner statewide.
The GOP had solid majorities in both houses and a governor pledged to sign it while he was still popular.
Gleason's dumbassed excuse: But we can win all 20. His real reason: He'd lose a little clout nationwide. The reality is that the last GOP candidate to carry Pennsylvania was Bush I as Reagan's third term in 1988. It would take 15 or less of our electoral votes to offset the loss of Virginia or Nevada + Colorado and seriously complicate the RAT march to 270.
I don’t often say “look at my tag-line” because it’s rude to, but I’ll say it here.
Note also that Hispanics often will follow the white vote. It DEFINITELY happened in the South last year, and it was why Wendy Davis and EVERY OTHER STATEWIDE CANDIDATE in Texas got blown out of the water (by 20 points, all races).
The white vote alone, although 75% Republican, didn’t get us that margin. It was the 45% Republican HISPANIC VOTE (as opposed to the usual 20-25%). In other words, the Republicans acted conservative in Texas - and by doing so, locked up the white vote. But the Hispanics ALSO liked the message (gay marriage and gun grabbing from the Dems only goes so far in their communities too)...and nearly split their vote down the middle (i.e., were not even a factor).
So the contest, here in Texas (and in some other southern states) ended up being between whites voting as block and blacks voting as a block - and there simply are A LOT MORE whites than blacks (in all states)...so it’s no contest if whites vote as a block.
If the GOP runs a another “not great but not as bad as the other guy” candidate, they will lose again.
If they run someone who people actually want to vote FOR, someone who will generate some enthusiasm, they will win.
Don’t forget the factor the article doesn’t mention: Hillary.
Eventually, the Ubershrew is going to have to emerge from whatever dark and damp little den in which she’s hiding, and come out and play if she’s planning to run for the White House. What seemed like an electoral surety only six months ago is reduced to speculation as to whether she’d even get the democrat party’s nomination.. current polls be damned.
When she does in fact emerge to sustained sunlight on her record and herself, the public isn’t going to like what it hears or sees. She can get the best plastic surgeon to stretch and iron those wrinkles away, but no facial tuneup is going to mitigate her fingernails-on-chalkboard vocal tone, grating personality and total lack of charisma, along with the fact she is clearly slipping mentally. Her “lost in the fog” moment while making that statement about corporations not creating jobs spoke volumes. The woman is clearly in cognitive decline.
The dems are going to have to pull off one of their most extensive smoke-and-mirrors acts in history to paper over Hillary’s inability to sustain the grueling tempo of a 15- to 18-month campaign.
Not going to happen during a Presidential election year when turnout is much higher. Demography is destiny.
The Crazy way Obama is acting the Democrats will lose more States next Election
We are at the tipping point. The Dems have created enough permanent votes for cyclical victories, with the dependent class, the illegals, and the voting dead, along with the media creating a propaganda machine that Goebbels would be proud of.
Democrats will get slaughtered in 2016, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico & Virginia wio,ill go Pubbie, big time...so will Texas, Florida, Ohio. Pennsylvania, Michigan, etc. Dems will carry less the twelve states with California and New York the biggest. The entire South will go ruby red. Republicans will gain seats in both the House and Senate.
The only action that can change this picture is, that Democrats turn on Obama. Less then that, they go out of office with him. 2016 will be a worse year for Democrats then 2014 was!!!
No way Blacks are going to turn out in 2016 as they did in 2012 and 2008. Look at what happened in 2010 and 2014. That’s what the turn out will be like.
