The EC was intended to protect the country from the idiots that electoral system elects. To over-ride people when dishonesty, demagoguery influence them. The Founders knew that people will make immoral choices. We are at a point where people can't "save face." People will just ride their mistakes out for the sake of not throwing things into turmoil. Slugs like Trump are very smart when it comes to knowing how the psychology of people falling into line works. Mitt won't cross that line. We all do it. Conservatives are the worst. It's in the very nature and defintion of being: "conservative." Afraid of change, the ability to take risks. Mitt will fall lockstep... Throw it back to idiots, the people. Kinda appropriate for the season. It's what Pontius did. Mitt will go back and Trump will cut off his head. the EC has been quite helpful in preventing the entire Reconstruction South from possibly overturning the election to the Dems, it also prevented the cities of NY and LA from electing a President in 2016 there is a vast diff between theory and actually running something, Conservatives love to give theories and they just don't work out the more people you try to inculcate into their paradise. It works just fine for the individual person, his family, his community, his church, his job though...

Thank goodness we have the far left here to tell all the stupid people how to think by insisting the coastal elites choose their leaders. How stupid the rest of the country must be to look at NY and CA and think "We should really have our government decided by people whose consistent contributions are staggering taxes, hundreds of thousands of homeless people, sanctuary for illegal criminals...and the equal opportunity to take a dump right in the middle of the street while hoping you don't get typhus." What???? How can you have a typhus epidemic in a modern American city? That's ***** insane.
3rdnlng Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 We are a republic not a pure democracy. The Electoral College reflects that fact. Any of you who feel that we should have a popular vote nationwide to decide the presidency are free to get the process started to amend our constitution to get that done. Otherwise, quit whining. 1 1

These people don't have a clue as far as the unintended consequences of their policies go. Anywhere that garbage piles up is going to be susceptible to causing a typhus epidemic. In their minds its ok when it's limited to the homeless but when it spreads to places like City Hall they have to take notice. Take a guess whether they limit their fix to fumigating or try to solve the deeper problem of accumulated garbage?

Wall off California from the rest of us and put EZ Pass lanes for the border between CA and Mexico. "Deport" all illegal aliens from other states to CA.
Deranged Rhino Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 After two years of lying about it... they admit the truth - while dodging ALL responsibility or accountability. It was always a coup. People will be punished, need to be punished, if the Republic is to survive this. 2

Might as well call Trump's GOP: DixieCrats or just Mossy Oak Democrats. That covers everybody from the West, South, North, ans East... Suburbs included. Not sure what the hell you call the New Democrats? Tree hugging crazy? The divide has always been City-Country. Cities have been carry states since the 1930s. LA carried Cali, NYC carried NYS... Like they always did. It was IA, WI, MI, & PA that picked the President. They went pink, not purple. The Dem rural-industrial firewall.

If only the current president could rise up to Mitt's level of "Nut Baggery" we wouldn't be talking about impeachment. Quote Former Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) on Saturday excoriated President Trump over details in special counsel Robert Mueller's report, declaring that "America deserves better." Kasich, who is mulling launching a Republican presidential primary challenge to Trump in 2020, tweeted that Trump's behavior in the Mueller report "is more than disappointing." "It’s unacceptable & not behavior we should expect from our president. It's worse than I've seen in my career observing & working with presidents or public officials," he wrote. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/439869-kasich-trumps-behavior-described-in-mueller-report-shows-that-america
Deranged Rhino Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 Which, of course, he wouldn't have had to do if he had been working with Trump or his campaign in secret... right? This has been known for two years, it was ignored and explained away as "Putin was trying to make it LOOK like he needed a back channel to hide the existing one". When you forgo logic and reason for TDS, you make terrible logical deductions. 1

In Putin's defense, you kind-of have to do those things when the president-elect doesn't have a preexisting "charitable foundation" to back-channel communications. 3
