The writing IS on the wall for Trump.....

When did this happen?
I know you faggots spent 9 years kissing Obama's butt,
but I don't remember Trump kissing anyone's butt. I think you need to provide a link and pictures of this ass-kissing episode.

The so called FF themselves did not write the Constitution* and you need to learn the history of this nation:
The time has come to elect the president through a popular vote. But how? In the long term, the only surefire way is a Constitutional Amendment.
Indeed, early in American history we passed the 12th Amendment. That Amendment fixed a flaw in the Electoral College that almost allowed Aaron Burr to become president in 1800 even though, in Thomas Jefferson’s words, the “known will of the people” favored Jefferson.
We can elect the next president by popular vote – without amending the Constitution

For those objective enough to discern what this chart shows, the message is that GOP'ers in special elections (after Trump's constant screw-ups) may win in red states, but are doing much worse, while Dems. are gaining where they normally would not.
I think that this would be a bad idea.....then the Dems could simply pack a shitload of refugees into CA and overthrow the will of the rest of America.
The Founding Fathers were wise enough to prevent that shit.

48% isn't that bad, all things considered.
My point stands, the Democrats need more in 2018 than "We hate Trump". They actually need something like "The Contract with America" of things they are going to do if they take Congress. Even if Trump vetoes them all, they should do it.

Heck.....the GOP said they weren't gonna seat him even if he did win.
But you think Republicans ran the guy.
It was my understanding that the people of Alabama ran the **********.

You seriously need to do a little research and find out about the great things Trump has done for this country, withing the short period of a year.
He will go down in history as being the greatest President since Ronald Reagan.

From the man who wrote the majority of the Constitution:
One of the most common criticisms of plans to modify or eliminate the Electoral College is that to do so would be to deviate from the wisdom of the Founders of the American political system. But the "Father of the Constitution" himself, James Madison, was never in favor of our current system for electing the president, one in which nearly all states award their electoral votes to the statewide popular vote winner. He ultimately backed a constitutional amendment to prohibit this practice.
As historian Garry Wills wrote of our fourth president, "as a framer and defender of the Constitution he had no peer." Yet, when he helped create the Constitution and when he defended it years after his presidency, Madison repeatedly argued for alternatives to the winner-take-all method of choosing a state's presidential electors. Like other leaders of that time, he looked at the world with clear eyes and learned from experience, unafraid to support change when that change made sense.
The College's primary purpose was not to give small states greater representation, as is often claimed by its defenders today. Instead, the Electoral College was created to reflect the political realities associated with accommodating the institution of slavery into our electoral system. Under a direct election system, the southern states would be at a significant disadvantage because their slaves could not vote.
Why not learn about this nation's history instead of parroting what TV sources say was written?

The voters of Alabama didn't listen to Trump. he originally backed Luther Strange, who was squeaky-clean, compared to Moore.
If only they had listened to Uncle Donald.

I doubt he will be on the ticket in 2020. Someone, probably Romney, will mount a campaign from within the RNC.

4th president, and we're now on the 45th?
and, somehow, in 200 years it hasn't been changed?
That SHOULD give you a clue.

Agreed, and I have called for this "contract" even before the Hillary mess.....
I even gave it a name: "Compact with Middle American Workers".....
(but my point was and is that in a vivid red state like Alabama, to lose more than 1% point PER month, certainly shows that something is finally dawning on conservatives.)
It's Festivus airing of grievances......I'm sure you backed the perv
