This will be viewed as a partisan statement because everyone knows I'm liberal but I really hope that someone talks Trump out of having that piece of s*** to the White House. That distinction should be reserved for allies of the United States. Kim Jong Un has not earned the respect to be treated like a guest here.

Were you this upset when Bill and Hillary were renting out the Lincoln bedroom? Just curious.

How disgusting, the American flag beside the Russian flag.

Acreage doesn't vote. People do. The map is terribly misleading. If Trump wants to show how states voted, fine, since we're locked into the stupid electoral college. Bit even then, that would show just the geographical size of the state, not the number of electoral college votes.

The stupid electoral college? Jesus man, you are really showing true stupidity with that statement.

Hmmm, so lthe founding fathers were dumb? Gotcha. Your statement reeks of the utter distasteful behavior the liberals have engaged in ever since Trump was elected. So by all means continue your childish rhetoric.

Actually there are those of us who think you shouldn’t get a vote for president. You should vote for your governor and senators but the president should be elected by the governors.

One state one vote.

States could ban women from voting.

Blacks couldn’t vote and counted as just three-fifths of a person.

The founding fathers were not infallible or omniscient. Hence, why we can amend the constitution.

No. We’re not a pure democracy. The power was purposefully removed from the hands of population centers.

Large, demographically unique factions would be void of a voice.

Our founders were much more prudent than you’re willing to concede, but you’re an attorney, obstensibly, so we don’t expect you to understand the faulty errs in your indoctrination. Everything you don’t agree with, put it on the turntable and spin it......

That was not the rationale. America was almost entirely rural at the time of the founding fathers. And there is no reason rural voters votes should count more than urban voters.

That was exactly the rationale. You don’t believe they had foresight to realize cities would grow, and many of these cities would be ideologically the same?

Rural votes don’t count any more than urban votes. In that sense, not counting the “death rolls” the dims like to pull from, one person/one vote decides our election - through the electoral college (see above).

Don’t be so remedial.

That was not the rationale either. Essentially, the founders did not trust the voters to always get it right and the electoral college was a safety valve if the powers that be felt the electorate got it wrong. Those in the electoral college were supposed to be more rational and deliberative than the voting masses. It was not about making sure small rural states had a voice.

I've heard that too but I did say that it prevents a few states from controlling the presidency and it does.

Spoken like a typical liberal lawyer. I bet you’d use this same rationale if the EC swung left but the PV was right, right?

WRONG!

You’re dismissed.

Found this on the Interwebs. Seems legit.

What Is the Purpose of the Electoral College? | Reference.com

The Electoral College was created with the intent of giving all states, and therefore their citizens, an equal say in the nation's matters, regardless of state size. The Electoral College was initially created by the 13 colonies, as they wished to vest power in themselves without influence or control by a central government. At the time of its creation, the nation struggled with a distrust of large government and the desire among its citizens to fairly elect a president. The Electoral College was seen as a compromise that promoted democracy while still allowing the government to function.

States don’t have to do a winner take all allocation. That’s not in the constitution and some partition their electoral college votes. So it may have this effect (which many may like), but that is not the rationale.

I understand that point also but to go only by the popular vote is not what the Founding Fathers wanted and is not what we want.

But the electoral college gives the citizens of some states (Wyoming for example) a disproportionately large say. If the concern is giving every citizen a voice have a one person one vote policy.

That's not how we want it or how the Founding Fathers wanted it. The President has to represent all the people not just the east and west coast.
