On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough was dragging out the old DNC talking point that hey, the Republicans have lost the nationwide popular vote in seven of the last eight elections. This is how Electoral College Deniers argue.
Eugene Robinson, MSNBC's chief political analyst, who is also an associate editor of the Washington Post, was responding to Joe Scarborough's question as to what Republicans should do, given their popular vote record.
Here was Robinson's description of the Republican strategy to win the White House despite losing the popular vote:
"Well, the first thing you do, is you gerrymander the hell out of everything, right? To, to try to build in an advantage."
Not "right," Gene. Wrong!
In 48 of the 50 states, the winner of the state's popular vote receives ALL of the state's Electoral College votes. [Maine and Nebraska have different ways of allocating their Electoral College votes.]
You can't gerrymander your way around that, Gene!
Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

The stupid is strong with this one.
Yo, Gene: you can’t gerrymander presidential electoral districts when—in almost all the states!—there’s only one presidential district: the entire state!
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Well neck yeah. Why else would we be bringing in all those new folks? Oh, wait a minute.......
The Dems have lost the popular vote in 5 of the last 8 elections.
The clueless idiots who watch MSNBC will just accept this BS.
I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
With all the fraud, cheating, dead voters that the democrats employ, who really knows what the actual popular vote is.
Besides, the DNC already has a guy who has the "Guam tipping over" story covered.
Robinson is a FOS “thug”. A little KC Quinton “jive” lingo there. He’s taking the Dung Beetle Party tactics and pinning them on the GOP who have never had any original ideas on how to steal elections.
Ah yes, the ol’ gerrymandering a national election, huh? Oh those diabolical Republicans!
In order to minimize the number of disenfranchised voters, each congressional district should assign their electoral vote to the candidate that receives 50% plus 1 vote within that congressional district.
Each state should award one electoral vote to the candidate that wins the most congressional districts.
Each state should award the remaining electoral vote to the candidate that receives the most votes in the state.
In the event that there is a tie for the congressional districts or the total number of votes, the state legislators shall meet in unicameral session and directly award the vote to a candidate that was on the ballot.
This is your brain on affirmative action. A Eugene Robinson byline is a signal that what follows will a perfect demonstration of what happens when low IQ peddles Demoncrat propaganda and it won’t be pretty.
