Dukakis to Dems: Ending Electoral College ‘top’ priority
thehill.com ^ | 11/13/16 | Mark Hensch

Posted on 11/13/2016 12:32:58 PM PST by ColdOne

Former Democratic presidential nominee Michael Dukakis says his party must do everything in its power to abolish the Electoral College.

“Hillary won this election, and when all the votes are all counted, by what will likely be more than a million votes,” he wrote of the Democratic presidential nominee in an email to Politico Sunday.

ADVERTISEMENT “So how come she isn’t going to the White House in January?” the 1988 Democratic standard-bearer asked. "Because of an anachronistic Electoral College system that should have been abolished 150 years ago.

“That should be at the top of the Democratic priority list while we wait to see what a Trump administration has in store for us. So far, all we know is that dozens of lobbyists are all over the Trump transition -- a strange way to drain the swamp.”

First of all Dukakis, if Trump needed to win the popular vote he would have ran his campaign to do so. Also she didn't win the popular vote. How many illegals voted in California alone?

150 years electoral college, and now you all don't like it? I don't remember you having this in your campaign when you ran.

Dukakis is a schmuck. He shows his ignorance while disrespecting the Founders at the same time?

Go away, loser...

It’s so funny how the media thinks if they just don’t say than it really isn’t true. He won Michigan get over it! These people with their 290 crack me up.

They lose, they want to change the rules. Let’s just have a civil war, and the winner can change the damn rules.

Reality to Dukakis: that would take a constitutional amendment that would have to be ratified by 38 states. So remind me, how many states did Hillary win again?

I think it’s time to end Voter I.D. free voting, “absentee ballots” and “early voting”. Everyone shows up on election day with a photo I.D. and proof that they are eligible to vote. If they don’t want to do that, obviously, voting isn’t very important to them anyway or for some reason, they are afraid to show their mug at the polling stations.

Dukakis is so dumb he doesn’t know that all the votes haven’t been counted and won’t be.

It’s one thing for normal citizens to not know this, but elections are a key skill in his business.
