Just imagine it — a ‘free-range’ presidential college.
Brilliant idea! We need to change the name. Maybe we could call it the Politburo. How would that sound?
The snark is strong with this one.
Heck, why can’t Cruz just have the skies open and our Lord and Savior can descend upon us and tell us that Cruz is the chosen one?

Liberal Donnie Trump is a total loser. He ran a freaking casino into bankruptcy, despite having the odds rigged in his favor. He would destroy America with his Leftist views and total incompetence.
Liberal Donnie should create a fake country like he created a fake “university” and declare himself president, Sultan, Grand Poobah or whatever.
The electoral collage is described in the Constitution as a means of curbing populist enthusiasms.
The selection of candidates is left up to the states. If the states want primaries, fine. If they want to have a sleep over and play spin the bottle, fine.
Sure.
We really don’t need States rights. They are really just big counties that all serve a central government.
Uniformity!
All for the glory of our great leader Obama!

If no team of candidates receives a majority of the votes cast by the Electoral College on the first ballot, then the election is then decided - for President - in the House of Representatives and - for Vice President - in the Senate.
Are Trumpeters saying the Electoral College should quick be changed to plurality voting, just like they are saying the Republican nomination should be changed to plurality voting?
I know many of you guys only recently joined the Republican Party, and I welcome you. And, if you win by our rules, more power to you. But, joining somebody else’s party and saying we have to change our rules to favor your candidate who, like you, only recently joined our party, does take a lot of chutzpah.
But you are going from chutzpah to ridiculous to say “we” should also change the Electoral College because if your guy doesn’t win get a majority on the first ballot there, the decision will be made by people (the members of the House of Representatives) that Trump doesn’t control.
Trump is the frontrunner. How about focusing on wining the remaining contests. Leave the cry-babying for later.
Or we could change it so you can win the electoral college with just 1/3 of the vote, then maybe Trump could win.
