IN ENGLAND, HILLARY TRASHES AMERICA’S ELECTORAL COLLEGE
Grabien ^ | June 25, 2018

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?”

Why is Hillary making speeches in England?

The mid-term elections are approaching here, and every few days Donald Trump holds a rally to help a Republican beat his or her Democratic opponent in November.

So why isn’t Hillary also holding rallies to help Democratic candidates fend off their Republican challengers?

Probably because she’s so unpopular she can’t attract a crowd and Democratic candidates don’t want to be associated with her.

Which means Republican candidates have an advantage in the mid-terms in energizing their voters to go to the polls — an advantage which the media isn’t taking into account as it fantasizes about Blue State landslides.

If the rules required a majority Bill Clinton would never have been elected President. He would have lost a rematch between the two highest vote getters in both his elections.

She was just fine with the Electoral College when Bill triangulated and won in ‘92.

Because they don't want her anywhere near them. They rightly know she is electoral poison.

Hillary feels it’s her life destiny to become president someday. She will die trying if it comes to that.

Yet another proof of the brilliance and “foresight” of our founding fathers by creating the electoral college.

I would be willing to bet the farm she smells bad to; like spoiled cabbage and rotten potatoes, mixed in with a bag of human sh!t.

The Dems have no say; Hillabitch has announced they’re stuck with her in 2020. Let them go down together while they denounce Americans for having too many guns.

Who cares what Webb Hubbel's concubine "concedes"? Donald Trump is President, and Monica's Boyfriend's wife is not. She can rant and rave and make idiotic statements to audiences of morons ... and the world revolves.

I'm telling you: for Hildy to get to the WH (before 2020) she has to set aside the Electoral College result. I really suspect she might make her move in the next week+. {Yes, I know she has been opposed to the EC for years... she is for democracy.}

The ho still can’t get over the fact that Americans didn’t want her in the Oval Office. The Electoral College is America’s only defense against people like Clintoon.

“Today, the American president tweeted there should be no judicial process, there should be no due process for anyone who crosses the border,”

In the liquor soggy old coke whore’s mind, every single person on planet earth now has a right to long and expensive court proceedings. That’s 7.4 billion people. And the only restriction is that they must run jump or swim into the nation illegally.

Utterly insane.

Ironically, wasn’t the purpose of the electoral college to minimize populists? She contradicts herself.
