Trump pushes to swap Electoral College for popular vote | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 76857890  United States03/20/2019 12:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76572180 Trump cult followers don't care about the constitution, obviously. So how is Trump changing the constitution, moron? That takes a constitutional amendment passed by congress and 2/3 of the states voting affirmative on that amendment. That is not trashing the constitution. That is the standard amendment process already done many times. Learn some civics and history. Trump can't write an EO and do away with the Electoral college. I think the mere suggestion this is ok by your golden goose is the problem . Whether or not it will happen isn't as scary as Trump saying the coasts full of communist sympathizers should decide who will be potus . Imagine Socal , the northeast metroplex , chicago miami/orlando deciding who the president is ? Trump says ... Good to go on that . Totally effed . My goose? How about, fuck you, you blue collar, meth head cock sucker? Trump is responding to and trolling the people already changing state laws to give the states's vote to the popular vote winner. Already happening. An end run around the constitution. Trump is saying, bring it on. He'll win regardless. Asshole. Except he won't . Let me spell it out for you in laymen crayon . If there is 20 people in the US of A and 9 live on the west coast , another 9 live on the east coast and they all think Che' Guevara should be potus and the 2 left who live in oklahoma think John F kennedy should be potus .... Che Guevara wins . |

It’s like training for the 100 yard dash vs. a marathon. The brilliance of the Electoral College is that you must go to many States to win. With the Popular Vote, you go to.... Donald J. Trump ‏ Verified account @realDonaldTrump 52m52 minutes ago More ....just the large States - the Cities would end up running the Country. Smaller States & the entire Midwest would end up losing all power - & we can’t let that happen.

The question is if every blue state changes its laws to give its votes to the winner of the popular vote, how is the country going to deal with that end run around the electoral college? That's the danger. There is no danger the constitution will be changed. |

The electoral college may have been a good idea in the past, but it's unnecessary now. NOW is when the Electoral College is totally necessary. The rabid left is bent on obtaining power and the only way to do that is to rig the coming election. Once in power, the U.S. would be a communist dictatorship. The Electoral College was created to prevent that. It will always be relevant in the U.S. "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change" |
