When Hussein was emaculated, his first days were very much like SloJo Biden. Hussein was having 'exciting' press events where he would announce and sign Executive Orders (EO). Hussein had no idea what Executive Order he was signing, and Greg Craig had to explain everything to him, and to the country. Greg Craig was the lawyer for Fidel Castro and also the lawyer for the father of Elian Gonzalez. Lovely, just lovely.
I just jumped ahead to the months before and after President Trump was elected in 2016. The aftermath is amazing. The article linked today is a transcript of Rush's explanation and conversation about the Electoral College. Brilliant.
There is nothing in the world that democrats cannot sabotage

We record audio books into the public domain to help further teach the history of America that the progressives stopped teaching over a century ago.

The world would have been pretty much China-style by now if it weren’t for the way our Republic works. It’s only hanging by a thread as it is.
Federalism is one of these terms that, in many cases, means the exact opposite of the word as it’s currently applied.
It’s why the democrat made the swap for the word democracy and preach it at every chance.
Three card Monte nods
WE ARE A REPUBLIC
A book by George C. Edwards III, 2004.
Democracy is always an easy sell. If you admire democracy, if you feel that America is or should be a democracy, you’ll enjoy this book. If the 2000 election angered you not because Al Gore sought to extend recounts until Florida “got it right,” but instead because he won half a million more votes nationwide than George Bush and still lost, then this book is for you.
Purpose of the Electoral College. However, if you believe the Framers’ system served a distinct and noble purpose, that of providing an endless succession of George Washingtons, men of high public virtue, who arrive in office without political debts, and that any reform should address hundreds of years of political party corruption, then this work will disappoint.
The purpose of the Electoral College isn’t Edwards’ concern.

Pretty much irrelevant to the Framers' purpose of the EC.
From the 68th Federalist:
"This process of election affords a moral certainty, that the office of president, will seldom fall to the lot of any man, who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications."
"Talents for low intrigue and the little arts of popularity may alone suffice to elevate a man to the first honors in a single state; but it will require other talents and a different kind of merit to establish him in the esteem and confidence of the whole union, or of so considerable a portion of it as would be necessary to make him a successful candidate for the distinguished office of president of the United States."
"It will not be too strong to say, that there will be a constant probability of seeing the station filled by characters preeminent for ability and virtue. And this will be thought no inconsiderable recommendation of the constitution, by those, who are able to estimate the share, which the executive in every government must necessarily have in its good or ill administration."
IOW, the Electoral College was designed to supply an endless succession of men of the caliber of George Washington.
Just read the 68th Federalist and ask yourself where the US went wrong.
I sure know we are missing the Big El Rushbo now, I worry there isn’t enough enthusiasm to vote Trump or vote at all.
Mathematical proof of the merits of the Electoral College, from 2004:
“Math Against Tyranny”

There is no such thing as a national vote. It is a myth. And it cannot be created. It is unconstitutional. And they would never be such a thing as a national recount. Impossible.
Both have been washed away by laws diluting the integrity of the Electoral College, and by weasel Mike Pence, who had the opportunity to be one of the greatest Americans ever, maybe even POTUS himself, but instead chickened out and thus may have doomed the Republic to the fate of the Ancient Roman Empire.
I’ve been complaining for years about that horrible world “federalism.” It actually means STATES RIGHTS and we should all support that esp since the 10A mandates it.
Don’t use the world “federalism”. Say STATES RIGHTS.
