The Constitution is no longer in line with our expectations regarding the role of the people in selecting the president. Yet several previous attempts to eliminate the Electoral College through a constitutional amendment have failed, scuttled by the difficulty of the process itself and the tyranny of small-state logic.
The demise of the U.S. Constitution is the leftist-globalist wet dream.

He thinks he will be president to ALL Americans? Rubbish.

I’ve seen it argued that junking the electoral college might actually take the massive power of the big left wing cities away.......Imagine New York City, LA and Chicago, not being the entire voting block of their entire state.

The libs hate it because they haven’t figured how to steal electoral votes yet.

My guess is they will try to keep “winner take all” in NY and CA and have proportional representation in the Red States.

The election and subsequent financial mayhem proves this man correct.
Our Constitution has been neutered.

Haven’t you heard? The dismantling of our constitution is nothing but a nutjob conspiracy theory. Pay no attention to it.

The Electoral College is one of many, many safeguards against tyranny contained in the Constitution. Therefore, it is a target of the left.

Is this bozo related to Georgie? If he is, I think it’s time to “junk” him! In fact, go ahead an “junk” him anyway. I don’t need morons screwing around with MY Constitution. He needs to stick with pondering his genitals and knock off this kind of BS. There is a reason for the Electoral college.

folks: the EC is about small states vs large states, not Republicans vs Democrats. Abolish the EC and Obama wouldn’t talk about “tax cuts” and McCain wouldn’t even try to get the conservative base with Palin.

According to the Constitution, the Fed is to guarantee to the states a republican form of government, The first falf of this was destroyed with the 17th Amendment. The second half would be destroyed by eliminating the electoral college.
We not only need to keep the electoral colloege, buyt we also need to repeal the 17th Amendment.

*Instead, he and John McCain devoted more than 98% of their television ad spending and campaign events to just 15 states which together make up about a third of the U.S. population.*
And if the EC was abolished, they’d spent time in even fewer states.
Do people even think anymore before the type or publish crap like this up?

Keep the Electoral College. Toughen up voter registration and identification requirements instead!
