This just might be why no one on the LEFT said anything bad about "THEIR" President Bubba, whose poll numbers actually increased while he was being impeached. Crimes by the LEFT is actually a resume enhancer.
Take the voter fraud out of the popular vote and then let the RATs talk.
I don’t think it’s “meaningless”. I can actually understand how Hillary supporters might think it’s not fair that the winner of the popular vote didn’t win the election. What they refuse to understand though is that 84% of the counties in the U.S. didn’t want to let a handful of densely populated Democrat strongholds decide the election for the entire country.
They’re going to have to deal with it or succeed.
These weasels would be just as adamant about the wisdom of our founders and the critical importance of the Electoral College if it had gone the other way.
Just like football. You win by scoring, EC. Time of possession doesn’t determine the score.
No illegal votes are meaningless.
By the RATS logic, the Yankees should have won the 1960 World Series because they outscored the Pirates something like 57 to 37 even though they lost four games and the series.
I don’t know why people keep saying the Chicago Cubs won the World Series. It was a tie. Both teams scored 27 runs.
My lesson on the electoral college.
A nation is not merely “the people” nor in any sense of county them either. A nation is the places where people live - the villages, towns, cities, counties and in the final sense the states.
Our nation is a collection of states and it is a republic, not a town hall style democracy. It is the states, as represented entities, by their electors, that select the president. What the “popular” vote decides is essentially how each state, as one state, will vote, via their electors. That vote is not summed together with the “popular” vote from all the states and used collectively to elect the president.
We are a republic and the president of these united states best represents “the nation” when it garners NOT the “popular vote” but a majority of the votes of the electors from the states. It represents a yes vote from a broader representation of the villages, towns, cities and counties across the country, however many people live there.
The founders knew, because they learned history better than most people do today, that “democracy” worked best locally and failed when it expanded its writ too far, and usually descended into dictatorship when it did.
Instead of getting rid of the electoral college, we need to make it even stronger in its ability to deny just a few highly populated states from electing the president. I would not change the size of the Senate, but instead of giving each state just two electoral votes, representing their two senators, I’d give each state three electoral votes in addition to the elector votes that represent how many representatives in the house they have.
They always considered themselves the foxes and everyone else the chickens....
The issue isn’t about the popular vote it’s about how they failed to rig the election.
The good old boy game is up time to drain the swamp asap.
If you take California out of the mix, Trump won the popular vote by 2.2 million.
In other words, Hillary! won the popular vote in CA, and Trump won the overall popular vote in the other 49 (or is it 56) states.
