Should the electoral college be abolished?

Stanford sociology professor Douglas McAdam says the electoral college, which determined this election, is an outdated system.

Trump also won by the popular vote, something the press just can’t seem to understand.

Sociology, the study of what’s “hot” and what’s not. No. keep it.

[RoosterRedux]

Only if we want to be governed by California and New York.

[donna]

Candidates would only campaign in CA, NY and Florida.

[notaliberal]

It’s outdated because they lost!

[Solidstatechemist]

The real question is: should sociology be abolished? They’re a big part of the problem.

[CARTOUCHE]

It’s an ‘outdated’ system only when the left loses. We hear the same tripe every time it’s a close election.

[Lurkinanloomin]

NEVER!
The brilliance of the founders is always under assault by the left.
The natural born citizen clause, if adhered to, would have spared us the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

Whenever something doesn’t work to their advantage, the liberals want to destroy it. So long as it works for them, it’s just fine.

Look for the same argument about Executive Orders. They loved it when 0vomit was issuing EOs left and right. If Trump does, they will suddenly be bad things.

[Mouton]

Ok. Each state is awarded one choice. Works for me.

NO DAMNED WAY!!!!! Read “55 men and the constitution” and the chapter on the electoral college. People DO NOT understand it. It is there to let rural American equalize against the GANG vote of urban areas. It did exactly what it was supposed to do ... it gave middle America a say in this election. Otherwise you’ll only get the government California and New York wants. WE MUST RIP THIS MOVEMENT OUT WHEN IT IS A seedling!!! Read the book if you don’t understand it.

What a numbskull question is that?
Only if you’re in cahoots with Obama and want to destroy our free nation.

[bigbob]

Anyone who advocates this needs to answer one simple question: Since half the country lives in the snakk blue-shaded areas on this map, how do you justify disenfranchising the rest?

[generally]

LOL! Thanks!

[ThePatriotsFlag]

Where are you getting that figure that Trump won by the popular vote, I have not seen it on any credible web site. Bottom line, the popular vote has NOTHING to do with an election in the USA and for GOOD REASON!

[mdittmar]

Me thinks cnn and Douglas McAdam like the idea of mob rule.

[FlingWingFlyer]

What would a Stanford sociology “perfesser” know about the Electoral College? Absolutely nothing. Someday, these programming and indoctrination jackasses will all be replaced by computers. People will sit in front of a computer and then be given a “diploma”. Their days and tenure are numbered.

[Stosh]

Gee, I’m certainly glad we have sociology professors to make up for the shortcomings of James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay.
