Stupid. So the five most populated states will determine who’ll be president.

Now...Trump is playing here....He constantly debates himself. I think it's a riot cuz the media doesn't know what the hell to do.
Trump didn't really campaign in Ca or NY. Why bother...between the illegal and dead vote, they are Dem states. He was respectful to both states however.
To: Simon Green
Easier to win for who? Ones gotta win and ones gotta lose.

YUGE mistake!!!
The electoral college ensures a representative vote. A popular vote would ensure that NY, CA, and FL would decide every election.

It’s nice that you have an opinion, Donny-boy, but you don’t get to make that decision. There’s a lot more to America than California and New York. I thought you knew that. You’ll still have to campaign for the votes from us rubes in “Flyover Country”.

He hasn’t thought this through.
With a popular vote, instead of the effects of a major voter fraud effort being confined to the state in which it occurs (and the electoral votes of that state) it would affect the national tally.
The Democrats would have an incentive to undertake voter fraud everywhere in the country, not just in their corrupt urban precincts in the close states.

I think Trump is trolling the press and the Dems...
To: SkyDancer
Don’t you know Trump by now. He’s throwing the press a bone. Too funny....Can’t wait till Hillary declares that she won!!
To: Simon Green
He would have lost.
We should never let go of the electoral college.
It makes it a 50 state election.

I’ll keep the EC, but Trump is right. If it were a PV contest in 2016, he would have campaigned like crazy in NY, CA, IL, NJ, TX, etc., and he would have won the PV.

Trump has a tendency to not think things through. If we had direct election of POTUS, the USA would soon look like North Venezuela. Can you imagine what all the "dreamers" and "tribesmen" and "swishers" and "northeasterners" would vote in?
Direct election of senators is bad enough, and we may not survive even that in the long run. Might as well have a unicameral legislature.

Well, I would rather return to land owning males as the electorate.
That ain’t gonna happen either.
