Okay, assuming what you wrote is true [BIG FReeping ASSumption] then you’ve made a bit of a case that the man went from criticizing the Electoral College to relying on it in 2016. That reinforces my perspective as a straightforward constitutionalist.
My objections to obambam other than ideology was that he shat on the constitutional requirement of NBC. In 2012, 5 years later, Trump was pushing the birther stuff but it was already too late due to the 20th amendment.

My perspective at the time when obambam FINALLY released the long form, it was to silence the ramblings of some gadfly with lots of money because... he had some weird political ambitions or sumthin sumthin??? I was igNORing Trump at the time. He’s not much of a constitutionalist.

Are you serious? You really think he was criticizing the electoral college in 2012, but relied on it (because he lost the popular vote in 2016) because he had some sort of constitutional conservative awakening at 68 years of age? Give me a break. He will do or say whatever he thinks will work for him, and he couldn’t give a rat’s ass about the constitution. He had no problem with the outcome in 2016 (despite his losing the popular vote) because he won. If he had lost in 2016 he would have claimed fraud. If he had won the popular vote 2016 but lost the electoral vote he would have called the electoral system a sham. He will do or say whatever he thinks is in his interest.
