Repeat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is heaping more criticism on America's electoral college, this time during an appearance at Oxford in the United Kingdom.
Clinton, who lost the 2016 presidential campaign with 232 electoral votes to President Trump's 306, has previously called for scrapping America's system of electing presidents, instead relying on a direct one-person, one-vote election.
The Democrat was lamenting the power of populism when the subject came up: “Populists can stay in power by mobilizing a fervent base. Now, there are many other lessons like this. Louise mentioned my personal experience with winning 3 million more votes, but still losing. And we will leave discussions of American Electoral College for another day, but Mounk concludes by saying, ‘Turkey also shows that political and intellectual elites, both inside the country and around the world, persistently underestimate the threat which these kinds of leaders pose to the survival of democratic institutions.’”
Clinton also suggested American citizens, under President Trump, may lose their rights to due process.
“Today, the American president tweeted there should be no judicial process, there should be no due process for anyone who crosses the border,” Clinton said. “I can’t help but think, if you strip immigrants and asylum seekers of due process and judicial review, who is next?”
You just don't get it! States like VT,DE,HI and RI deserve "fairness" whereas states like ND,ID,AK and WY most certainly don't.
“...do the fake hearty laugh thing”
If you will notice, she has to laugh, move her head around, look around constantly in order to distract people’s attention away from her eyes so they won’t notice that they, in full on gaze, closely resembles those of a rattlesnake.
An interesting point...and yet another good reason to limit the rights of non-citizens...less work for filthy,Rat Party lawyers!
I never get tired of watching those 10 hour youtube videos of Election Night coverage,particularly MSLSD,CNN,the CBC and the BBC.The basic theme,the basic chant, of every one of them was "poor,uneducated whites".
But the joke was on them...DJT carried college educated whites!!!
And through the years, the Democrats have created these "have nots"....and the effect was that Obama actually beat the electoral college system, methodically gauging every district which was loaded with have nots.
Read 55 Men and the Constitution by Rodell.
The book also notes that the USSC has no check.
And as to Trump's affairs....Did she forget that Bubba was scr**** everything he could AND in the Whitehouse, too.
So Clinton is in England talking to the English who have proportional representation and not a direct vote, how bad it is that WE have an electoral college??
She is not very smart, people.
Yesterday, it was posted illegals gave CA something like 6 extra EC votes.
Why do they like the witch so much? It boggles the mind.
Hillary who?
In fact, between NY and California she won by six million, meaning she lost the rest of th country by 3 million ?
That’s amazing. I bet her popular vote margin was likely won in just a few counties (Los Angeles, Cook, New York and maybe one more).
Thanks for your post. I think you are right.
Hillary proved how stupid she is when she campaigned mostly in big cities in Blue states. She obviously thought that the USA was a direct democracy.
Now she says the EC should be abolished - is the real reason because she is not smart enough to understand a constitutional republic?
Yeah, I’d show up early for cash! I am sorry to hear about your bills. I always, incorrectly I see now, thought veteran’s medical bills were all paid for. And yet we want to pay more benefits to non Americans.
If I moved to ANY country.......in Asia, Europe, Africa.....I would expect them to reject me if I came in illegally & I certainly would NOT expect them to prop me up financially.
I hope your truck keeps going. My husband has an old truck that is an 89 & half his time is spent keeping it running. The front is mangled from two deer crashes & one wild turkey run in.
Our Electoral College works exactly as planned, as evidenced by the fact that Harridan Hillary is in England, Thankfully.
It's no wonder the dem's don't want to ensure only eligible citizens are voting in our elections.
99.9% of all this coordinated Trump hatred, subversion ,and ‘resistence’ is being brought about by Leftwing Liberal lawyers. Both in & out of elected office. We have been conditioned as a people to somehow respect ,almost venerate, these crafty manipulators of words and the laws. Yet these cynical hypocrites are the worst poison ,undermining everything our country was or stands a chance of being. These rats are the real enemy within .
Clinton said. “I can’t help but think, if you strip immigrants and asylum seekers of due process and judicial review, who is next?”
