NY + CA is what, not even 20% of the US electorate? There's no way any candidate could ever win based on support just in those two states, even if they won 100% of the vote there, which they wouldn't.
You're kidding, right? Yeah, about 20%, so those two states alone would easily swing any election, despite the fact that they are only 1/25th of the states in the country. It would be a complete mob rule situation and they would indeed pretty much decide all the Presidential elections as the Democratic candidate wouldn't even need a 40% share of the rest of the states. This isn't that difficult to understand. Unless you're implying that the candidate that won those states would get no votes anywhere else, which is pretty silly. I don't think the majority of the country (which includes independents) would want CA and NY deciding elections.

NY + CA + TX + FL
There, fixed it for you. Those states would decide every election. No thanks.
If the candidate is getting votes all over the country then it isn't just being decided by CA and NY, it's getting decided by the whole country.
Apparently you're not kidding. Wow, just scary that you can't understand that a handful of states would then decide an election and very little representation from the rest of the country.

Yes, because Mob rule and lack of representation for the majority of states is a better system. Ridiculous.
There would be no lack of representation, they would be represented in proportion to their population.
