Once again, Democrats crash and burn and once again, the solution is to change the rules.

When they lose the presidency, we're inundated with opinion pieces on why the electoral college is 'out-of-date'.

Perez wants to 'reexamine [the] order of state primaries' to reflect 'diversity'. What state will he move to the head of the line? California? New York?

We will see more articles like this:

Wah. We don’t like what we got from voters, so let’s change voting.

They’ve been lying to Blacks for decades, now they have socialist candidates who Blacks don’t support and they are realizing that Blacks are the “backbone” of their votes and if that goes away so does their chances of getting elected.

Excessive concern with diversity, as an end in itself, dat be raysis. Racism is the result of the combination of three irrational components, collectivism, determinism, and subjectivism. Since anyone can be irrational, anyone can be raysis, especially leftard loon losers.

Only when something doesn’t work for THEM do they then demand it be changed.

They are the ones that have screwed things up for themselves, not anything else. Their own ineptness and poor planning and execution. Even other libtards in the past were able to get things to work, now when the incompentents can’t even get their own primaries to work, now its the order of the primaries that’s the problem, not their own glaring idiocy.

So typical of the Left: Don’t like something, change the rules or the law. Don’t like plastic straws, pass a law that makes their use illegal. For religious reasons, if a baker doesn’t want to make a wedding cake for a gay couple, a conservative finds another baker who will. The liberal passes a law that forces all bakers to abandon their beliefs and bake the cake. Don’t think 32oz sodas are good for you, a conservative doesn’t buy them. The liberal passes a law that prevents anyone from selling a 32oz soda. (Two 16oza sodas are okay, however.)

No matter how you look at it, Liberals want to decrease your freedoms by limiting your choices.

Wake up, People!

Simple plan: (1) run the New York, Illinois, and California primaries on the same day; (2) get legislation passed in the others to give their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote; (3) forget about holding national elections in the other states. Why not be honest about it?

Technically, I agree that Iowa and New Hampshire are not diverse. In the old politics where all the candidates were white men, this wasn’t important but now the first states ought to be more representative.

You want a smaller state so that they are petri dishes where the worst candidates are eliminated early with few delegates so don’t throw in California, Texas, New York, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, etc.

A few, like Hawaii, may be diverse but the logistics would make campaigning even more expensive than it already is.

Based on population totals,

I would look at Delaware, Mississippi, New Mexico and Nevada as a better lead-in to a Super Tuesday. In fact, the Republicans might be smart to switch ahead of the Democrats as a way of expanding more minorities into the party.
