The only flaw with democracy is that the majority is always wrong...face it and not to be NASTY..but the average earthly I Q is just above that of an ape... sometimes this system that is being dumped on might just be better than full blown democracy

Imagine 30 four year olds voting for a new teacher....and the platform of that teacher was that they all get candy for lunch. THAT is the Clinton campaign.

The only thing she was denied was her name going into the history books as anything more than Bill Clinton's wife.


I am glad she's off the TV now. Mute button was getting worn out.

The libs will probably think that's a great idea.

I can see it now....... "Wrecking Ball for potus 2020".

Every 4 years the loser blames the Electoral College. Really tired of it. It's a political punching bag. If it's not violating the will of the people (left), it's big liberal states controlling 3/4 of the country (right)

First of all,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pn0WdJx-Wkw
She knew the system before hand.

Secondly, some one who calls a lawful group of the voters enemies (gun owners), who seeks to deny individual rights while employing majority rule, who disenfranchises hundreds of thousands if not millions of voters by allowing the primaries to be declared over while there are elections still to be conducted........

...........................really does not strike me as the People's President.
