This death is to a high degree due to demographic changes the GOP has failed to adapt to in national races.
Yet Republicans are winning Governorships in heavily Democratic states (MD, NJ, WS).
And to top it off many Democrats are pushing for a proportional Electoral College. Follow that thought out to what that would mean to Republicans in states like NY or CA who now lose the entire EC vote but would get a share of it.
Proportional college would help Dems also , as it would mean , in all likelihood, he who wins popular, wins POTUS. In the last 6 contests only one race would flip on proportional. We'd have seen President Gore. That would have given us 20 years of Dems in WH in last 24 years.

As would Democrats in Texas, Georgia, etc. Since the Dems have won the national popular vote 5 out of the last 6 times, they would take that deal in a heartbeat.

"The Dems haven't won 3 consecutive Presidential elections since World War II."
How many times in the postwar era has a party carried more than 250 electoral votes in six consecutive elections? Once: the Democratic Party, 1992-2012.
The Dems haven't won 3 consecutive Presidential elections since World War II. It's silly to make these kinds of predictions just as you might think it silly for me to say that the Republicans have more elected officials than at any time since 1928 and control the House, senate, most State governors, most State Legislatures and are 1 good Presidential candidate from making the Dems completely irrelevant in 2016.
This is what I said way back when 19 months ago. Sorry I'm a Seer Democrats...I did try to warn ya'll but you wouldn't listen.
I guess I will say to the OP and his Dem sycophants, no we didn't realize that.
The electoral college wasn't so unfair before the election wasn't it libs?
I always thought it was outdated just like Daylight Savings Time, but sadly, things that are absolutely senseless die hard in this now more than ever...azz-backwards country.
