The Electoral College achieved what the Framers feared most

[Sandy Shanks]

At the time the Electoral College was created we still had not licked the Indian problem yet; we would fight the pesky British again 25 years later in the War of 1812; and only a few schools were scattered around the Original Thirteen States. Today there is a school in nearly every urban and suburban neighborhood and multiple colleges in nearly every city. Most Americans in 1787 were farmers who could care less about the ABC's. Their main concern was putting food on the table, which is not much of a concern for Americans today.

The Electoral College was created during a long dead time, totally unrelated to conditions today. It was created by the Framers who did not trust uneducated rabble to select the President. They envisioned electors who supposedly knew what they were doing. The result, in 2016, our worst fears were realized when Donald J. Trump was elected.

Allow me to explain. First, there is this interesting statistic. Trump's job approval rating among non-college educated whites is 67%. https://news.gallup.com/poll/205832/race-education-gender-key-factors-trump-job-approval.

Non-college educated whites literally chose our President in 2016. Part of the reason is that approximately 100 million voters either stayed home or wasted their vote in protest. Approximately 63 million Americans voted for Trump, and he lost the popular vote by three million.

Second, essentially, the electors are chosen by the popular vote in each state.

California has a population of 40 million and has 55 electoral votes. Montana has a population of 1.06 million and has three electoral votes. When one does the math it means the non-college educated farmer in Montana has 2.17 votes in the Electoral College for every vote a teacher, lawyer, scientist, and doctor has in California.

In varying degrees, the same is true in the rural areas of Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, and North and South Carolina. In addition, it appears that Trump has attracted the support of anarchists, bigots, and angry citizens.

And so we have a President who today is about to be impeached because he asked for foreign intervention in our election and used bribery as an incentive.

We have a President whose foreign policy is a threat to our national security.

And we have a President who recently verbally attacked a 16-year old girl with autism who is concerned about climate change, indicating the state of mind of said President..

Put a different way, the Electoral College realized our worst fear in a Presidential election that would have been prevented by the popular vote.

It was the only mistake the Framers made.

I know, they used to sit around all the time and talk about how awful it would be if an unlikeable, corrupt old sot who was prone to coughing fits and fainting spells, lost the Electoral College vote.

The polls didn't show what wads really going on in the country in 2016, so you depend on them today? What did make the difference was the number of people who show up for the rallies. Look at Trumps I arenas holding 30,000 inside with the same number outside and bidens' rally in George's Coffee shop and he is yelled at by a Trump supporter.

MY education is masters+ and my friends and family are all in the Trump section.

Now, I listened to all. of the orators and listened to the two impeachment "crimes." Although there were no crimes, lol. You mention that bribery was one. Nope. No bribery. AND EXACTLY IN WHICH IMPEACHMEnt crime DID THE hOUSE claim Trumps foreign policy is a threat to our national security. Just as bribery was not mention in the impeachment statues, threat to foreign policy is not there either.

While you were watching with glee that the House was going to impeach Trump, you missed the important news yesterday and today. The FISA Court is FURIOUS with the FBI>>>Comey, Page, Strozk, McCabe, Rosenstein, et all at the 17 errors that were in the information given to them. Strangely, all of the errors were anti Trump errors. How does that work for you? One judge said there has to be at least something like 40 changes so they won't get away with that again.

Ummmmm….California's 40 million residents elect 53 House members, about one for every 755,000 residents.

Montana's 1.06 million residents elect 1 House member.

Looks like Montana is under represented compared to California.
​

When one does the math it means the non-college educated farmer in Montana has 2.17 votes in the Electoral College for every vote a teacher, lawyer, scientist, and doctor has in California.​

More like Montana farmers have 0.712 votes compared to one for every illegal alien loving, street pooping Californian.

[JWBooth]

Since the end of the counting on election night we have been treated to an endless string of threads denouncing the results all screeching about the EC. Cthulhu the Besotted did not attain her nationwide popular vote total lead until California came in.

Once again: Bringing up nationwide popular vote total is meaningless drivel.

One would be led to believe that the EC is some mysterious genie that has never before been summoned from it’s lamp rather than the process that has elected every potus ever. The exception in 2016 being that all campaigns, until the last, take it into consideration as they plan their strategy.

Really? Is that what ALL you fucktards believe, or just the numb nutz like you? Trump just asked for proof, besides a self confession in front of rolling cameras, that sick Joe Biden had used his office to bribe a whole nation and steal the money that eventually paid for 0vomits new multimillion dollar mansion. You dumbass. But wait, Trump's second 4 years will get to that part. HAHAHAHAHA

The EC is pointless . We worried that a handful of states would get all the attention. Well that’s exactly what we have!

 

[Sandy Shanks]

This is not about small states vs. large states. This about the election of the President and that's it.

It is not about representation in Congress or interstate trade or federal laws and regulations. Nor is it about the election of governors or state legislature. It is not about large states reducing the rights and privileges of the small states.

The Electoral College only concerns the election of the President, and the issue is, all Americans should be represented equally. The EC does not do that. It does the very opposite (see OP).

"Because Nancy’s teeth were falling out of her mouth, and she didn’t have time to think!" Trump tweeted on December 15.

Trump recently verbally attacked a 16-year old girl with autism who is concerned about climate change.

"The scathing article in Christianity Today said that Trump — who has received very strong support from evangelical voters — “has dumbed down the idea of morality in his administration” by hiring and firing “a number of people who are now convicted criminals,” and by admitting “immoral actions in business and his relationships with women.”

At a political rally last week Trump directly implied that the late Democratic Rep. John Dingell was in hell. He didn't like that his wife voted in favor of impeachment. Trump thought he was being funny by attacking the memory of the former Congressmen who died eight months ago. Dingell holds the record for longest-ever serving member of Congress in American history, representing Michigan for more than 59 years.

Trump is a prolific liar. Americans cannot trust a thing he says. Imagine that, Americans cannot trust what their President says. As of Dec. 10, his 1,055th day in office, Trump had made 15,413 false or misleading claims, according to the Fact Checker’s database that analyzes, categorizes and tracks every suspect statement he has uttered. That’s an average of more than 32 claims a day. https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...as-made-false-or-misleading-claims-over-days/

On Saturday Trump gave his his best imitation of Don Quixote. He went after windmills. "“I never understood wind. I know windmills very much, I have studied it better than anybody." Bla, bla, bla. Geez!

What a jerk.

This is the President chosen by the E.C. It is time for change.
