The "ballot" still is secret. You may vote or not and it is no body's business if you do. If you are not going to be part of the landslide that TRUMP will need to overcome all this you might as well stay home. You can just lie and say whatever inquiring busy bodies wanna hear. Blacksmith King of Trades I make your tool DEPLORABLE MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN VULGARIAN LOVE TRUMP'S DEPLORABLE HATE Wisconsin=Deplorable Honey Badger State "We have to re-jigger it" VULGARIAN "Tough times don't last, Tough People do."

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 69048086 United States 08/02/2015 03:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | But why the popular vote doesn't matter. Even if trump wins by millions, they'll still choose who's next that is what worries me if he wins. ^^^ THIS IS THE ANSWER I WAS LOOKING FOR. . . How can one of the richest most powerful celebrities not be a part of it? Watch one episode,and I'm stressing only one episode of "Apprentice" and tell me he's not an a**hole. Why do we believe his moral compass is angelic all of a sudden. I love everything Trump says. But it's all lies. He's just another card in the deck. If he wins, it's only because they ment for it. |

Petitroche User ID: 66954576 United States 08/02/2015 05:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Nobody wants to talk about this. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69048086 Why should I vote ??? (4) four times in history an election nominee has won presidency while losing the popular vote. So what's the point in voting? We all know the electoral college decides who to put in. Yet we fall for the same scham every 4 years?? 1824 John Quincy Adams loses the populace vote by 38,000. Still elected president. 1876 Rutherford B Hayes loses the populace vote by 264,000. Still elected president. 1888 Benjamin Harrison lost the populace vote by 95,713. Still elected president. 100 years pass and "We the people" forget our vote means squat. 2000 George W Bush loses populace vote by 500,000. Still elected president Explain why I should vote in 2016 You're right. In 24 states the electoral votes have no obligation to vote like the state. They can vote as they please. I'm sure they follow party lines, which would eliminate an independent's chance. Both parties have had a majority, at sometime, since 1804 and they had a chance to change it if they wanted. I don't have the time or the crayons to explain this to you. Slake Blake |

I think they have more than enough influence as it is as they shove the socialist agenda down our throats. Lets save what little power we have until we are ready to secede... |
