What idiots today can't seem to comprehend is that the Founders came up with a solution that allowed the country to be formed. If the small colonies had not been given certain powers, like the Electoral College and two senators each, there would never have been a United States, as we know it.
Unfortunately, our educators don't understand this themselves and therefore don't pass it along to their students.
As for getting rid of the Electoral College - it will never happen. Fortunately there are enough "small states" to keep a Constitutional Amendment from ever happening.
If some activist judges try to overturn the Constitution, there will be a full-scale rebellion, and I will join it.
Part of the problem I think is the tendency to think only in national terms. At the time the framers conceived of the EC, there wasn't that sort of mindset. I think we would have less problems (especially those brought on by socialist policies), if we had retained more of the states-in-a-union rather than union-with-states mindset.
I will join you! So will everyone I know ,but I do not believe it will happen anytime soon much as hitlery may want it .
