Sanders: Change the Electoral College
By Paulina Firozi - 12/19/16 05:17 PM EST

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) called for change in the Electoral College system on Monday as electors across the country gathered to cast their ballots.

Sanders noted Clinton’s lead over president-elect Donald Trump in the nationwide popular vote in arguing that the 200-year-old system should be changed.

He said such a result was not democratic, strongly suggesting that the Electoral College should not be used to decide the winner of the presidential election.

Who cares what this avowed Commie says? Bernie is last weeks news and a bigger loser than Hitlary. He will probably be dead before the next election he is so old.

Yep, the liberal way; the hell with the Constitution if it doesn't favor our agenda.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

I just left a scathing tweet on his twitter feed.  We are a REPUBLIC, dammit!  You'd think people elected to Congress would understand our form of government, for crying out loud.  I'm about to SCREAM!
