[quote:Eggcellently Deplorable:MV80MjAwMzk3Xzc2MzkzOTU5X0QzQkVDMkZB] [quote:Anonymous Coward 76103578:MV80MjAwMzk3Xzc2MzkzNzQzXzIwRUUzN0FG] Here is what Trump tweeted a few years ago: "[b]The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy.[/b]" https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/266038556504494082?s=20 [/quote] And he is totally correct. In a "democracy", 51% can dictate to the 49%. Thus the need for the Electoral College. America was set up as a "democratic REPUBLIC", where people have a say, yes, but then it goes to their elected representatives who then actually pass (or don't pass) a bill. We even say, in the Pledge of Allegiance, "and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands" , not "and to the DEMOCRACY for which it stands". [/quote]
Original Message
“My goal is to get elected—but I plan to be the last American president to be elected by the Electoral College. I want my second term to be elected by direct vote,” Warren said during a campaign event in Marion, Iowa, on Sunday.
