As a Texan, I say that we should abolish Irish Bob and his ilk.
That's how Obama won.....targeting the have nots (pure demographics) in particular districts. He effectively outwitted the electoral college.
Read 55 Men The story of the Constitution by Rodell. He explains it perfectly.
He also talks about the Supreme Court having no check in our system of checks and balances.
it’ll be funny when Trump wins the popular vote and EC..
not as funny if he wins the popular vote and loses the EC though.
If you can’t win ,forget cleaning up your act just change the system
We in Texas endorse abolishing BETO
In his place we would like to endorse presidential candidate
BEVO
Democrats may be asking for something they will regret, in my view it will not be hard for a Republican to win the popular vote, a lot of republicans in these blue states just set the elections out and don’t bother to vote since they can’t over come the local democrats but with a national popular vote they will vote, with that said the electoral system best be left alone
Do the people have a voice in this matter?
You’re right - in fact everything democrats have proposed increases their chances to win - and decreases ours.
They’re not even subtle anymore...
Did O’Rourke make the announcement in his “Native” Spanish?
re: “O’Rourke justified his call for eliminating the Electoral College by comparing the institution to slavery.”
He could have made the comparison in relation to feces; who is in favor of feces either?
This man is a walking, talking male version of AOC ...
Thanks C19fan.
I teach a class that prepares people to take the U.S. citizenship interview. I have explained how we elect the president and they think the EC is a good idea. I don’t believe they are just humoring me! So I’m doing my small part in evangelizing for the Constitution. If a lot of the native-born Americans don’t get it, then at least some of the foreign-born Americans will.
“Former Texas congressman Beto O’Rourke joined a growing list of 2020 Democrats by endorsing the abolition of the Electoral College on Monday.”
