The Afternoon Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
By now, most of you have heard that, in her town hall event on the Collaboration News Network (CNN), Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren endorsed the idea of completely eliminating the Electoral College, because of course she did.
“Every vote matters and the way we can make that happen is that we can have national voting, and that means get rid of the Electoral College,” Warren told the audience, “I believe we need a constitutional amendment that protects the right to vote for every American citizen and makes sure that vote gets counted.

Actually, California alone provided Hillary with her popular vote margin. Trump carried the other 49 states by 1.4 million votes.
They don’t call them the Dumb Party for nothing.
