eager democrats have electoral college in their sights

some should
read the constitution, and study history.

now obviously, the electoral college has helped the gop in the last several elections, so i’m biased.

But the fact is, when the nation was formed, the rural colonies had concerns about their voices getting drowned out by more heavily populated colonies. the incentive to get them to join, was the electoral college. it was brilliant.

if the democrats don’t happen to like the electoral effect, perhaps rather then dismantling it, they could...you know...listen to people in the middle of the country, rather than calling them deplorable.

wasn’t that long ago if i recall, when a majority of senators from the dakotas were democrats. maybe the change is entirely due to the ignorant racists who live there. or maybe, part of it is that the democrats have done everything conceivable, and a few things i’d have thought were inconceivable, to alienate the middle of the country.

I agree and that should start at the top, but since he isn’t a big fan of reading and has made it abundantly clear history isn’t his strong suit, even two more years won’t improve his grasp on either.

does every single post have to include a jab at Trump? I don’t disagree with what you said, but i don’t see how it’s relevant.

What does this have to do with the electoral college?
