A Bad Week for Clinton – A Worse Week for America

This has been a truly terrible week for former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. She has not only shown herself to be against proper democracy and blind to reality, but also that she is morally bankrupt and addicted to the idea of a free people.

In an interview with CNN, Clinton said that she wants to do away the Electoral College, and there are good arguments on both sides of this debate, but it seems that her basic argument is that “if we didn’t have it, I would have won.” This is great for her, but not so good for the rest of the country. In fact, it seems to me to be the beginning of what is about to become a very large, very well-funded, and very annoying campaign to ensure a DNC victory in 2020.

“addicted” -—> “allergic”

“...addicted to the idea of a free people.”

??? Is that a typo. She seems quite the opposite to me.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Observe how Cankles' hands are cuffed behind her back so her arms can’t flail about spasmodically from the Parkinson’s seizure.

[avenir]

Allergic. Thanks.

[ConservativeWarrior]

Possibly. Or she may just be fall-down drunk.

[DungeonMaster]

Is this old news from any of the last 520 weeks?

“it seems that her basic argument is that “if we didn’t have it, I would have won.” “

Thing is, if we did away with the Electoral College, it would only make sense to do away with the Democrat Party’s “superdelegates” - without which she surely would have lost the nomination.

....Clinton said that she wants to do away the Electoral College,

THE RATS ARE WELL ON THEIR WAY WITH THIS PLAN OF "TRANSOFMATION" WITHOUT CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.

Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote

"The National Popular Vote bill has been enacted by 11 jurisdictions possessing 165 electoral votes—61% of the 270 electoral votes necessary to activate it, including four small jurisdictions (RI, VT, HI, DC), three medium- size states (MD, MA, WA), and four big states (NJ, IL, NY, CA). The bill has passed a total of 33 legislative chambers in 22 states—most recently by a bipartisan 40–16 vote in the Arizona House, a 28–18 vote in the Oklahoma Senate, a 57–4 vote in New York Senate, and a 37–21 vote in Oregon House. A total of 3,055 state legislators have either sponsored or cast a recorded vote for the bill."

There are no good arguements for doing away with the electoral college.

This^^

The electoral college ensures the individual states vote for the president. Fifty states, each with a vote value essentially matching their population. It means candidate A can win 100% of the vote in California and New York, but Candidate B can win 51% of the vote in the rest of the states and Candidate B will win.

As it should be.

Get rid of the electoral college and a lot of states will become completely irrelevant. And they are all flyover, if you get my drift.

The US is like the EU. Who selects its leaders are its member states, not the citizens within those member states. And they are NOT the same thing.

If Trump needed to win with the popular vote, he would have. Not like her with illegal votes.

You don’t need a personal ambulance following you around for a drinking problem.

[Brian Griffin]

“I would have won” - anything to get ahead.

A good reason for her to go no place but home.

People fear power-hungry people - for good reason.

The Electoral College was meant to be protective, and it worked over 200 years after it was designed.

Not only that, her narcissist personality disorder is on full display.

“A Bad Week for Clinton – A Worse Week for America”

Aux contraire. A bad week for Hillary is a GREAT week for America!

Clinton said that she wants to do away the Electoral College, and there are good arguments on both sides of this debate, but it seems that her basic argument is that “if we didn’t have it, I would have won.”

What's next, merge all the states into one big 'super state'?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

You can have Parkinson’s and a drinking problem.

[A Navy Vet]

Always a moot point since it takes a Constitutional Amendment to change or eliminate the Electoral College. Not going to happen.
