We gotta be tougher and more united behind our president than ever before or she wins and you all know what that would mean.
For one, there go the courts. No justice for the next 20 years. She'll nominate Molly Yard for SCOTUS for crying out loud.

And don't forget she wants to get rid of the electoral college. Straight popular vote -- if you live in a small state, you won't count. Let in more illegal immigrants, allow them to vote, and the Democrat machine will have a lock on the country.

The electoral college thing is a smoke screen. I was covering the 2000 election for the small town radio station I live near. The town and county is very heavy republican. All elected officials are republican. There was a point early in the returns when Bush was leading the popular vote, but losing the electoral vote. The opinion of all, including the elected officials, was the electoral college is outdated and needs to be done away with. It's an outmoded and foolish system.

As the evening changed and the popular vote was leaning Gore, but the electoral college was leaning Bush, the opinion of the room changed considerably. The electoral college was then wisely implemented by the founding fathers.

I will never again believe republicans when they claim support of the electoral college as I saw first hand that support was dependent on the outcome of that election.
