What matters is if the party supports the candidate. The left loves the bigots. The bigoted Affirmative Action is the work of your party. And their media is a perfect example. From Rev Al to Joy Reid.
Own it.
OK, I get it.
You're a white guy feeling repressed and sorry for yourself and it's all the Dems' fault.
That is exactly WHY we want it changed. It is hundreds of years old and does not work in modern America.
Time to move on.
Its only an issue because Trump won. If Hillary had won the EC and lost the popular vote not nary a democrat would have made a peep about ending the EC. It would have been your savoir.
The real problem was nominating someone under FBI investigation. Comey commenting on the investigation shortly before the election probably made the difference for Trump.
I don’t think so. I don’t like the electoral college method. I don’t like the 2 Senators per state either. We should have one house of Congress based on population. President should be popularly elected. If they don’t get 51% of the vote due to more than 2 candidates running, there should be a second “run-off” election between the top two vote-getters.
I understand and appreciate the history behind the present system, but I don’t think that if the Constitution were written today, it would have such an convoluted system.

"Even if the Electoral College remains for another 250 years, it will still have to contend with another vestige of its creation—the issue of “faithless electors” who decide to vote against their party’s chosen candidate. Over the years, there have been 157 faithless electors, and while some states require that electors stay true to their state's electoral choice, often requiring a formal pledge, 21 don’t require that kind of loyalty at all."

What other parts of the Constitution that you find inconvenient would you like shredded? The Second Amendment? The First Amendment protecting so-called "hate speech?" Which others?
