Talk About Grasping at Straws, Beto Implies the Electoral College Is Just Like Slavery

A growing number of Democrats are demanding the Electoral College be abolished in favor of a national popular vote, undoubtedly as a response to the failed 2016 Democratic candidate having gained more popular votes in the election yet coming up short in electoral votes. Thankfully, that urging by leftists has been blocked by that pesky Constitution and the convoluted process for passing amendments.

The latest prominent Democrat to call for the abolition of the Electoral College is 2020 Democratic candidate and former Texas Rep. Robert “Beto” O’Rourke, who ludicrously insinuated that the Electoral College was a national mistake akin to slavery, the Washington Free Beacon reported.

Something to think about. The Electoral College pretty much guarantees a 2 party system. It's too hard for a 3rd party to win a state, much less half of them. If we go to the popular vote, that makes it possible for 5 or 6 candidates to have a chance of winning. So you would end up with Hillary, Biden, Bernie, Trump, Cruz and Jeb all vying for the popular vote, hoping for a Jesse Ventura moment.

Photo from a rally in Austin. The ignorant leftists are in full adoration mode, elevating Robert Francis to a deity.

Sort of ironic.  In order to claim that, one can't believe in Christ.

Another plus for the electoral college. I favor the system like Maine and Nebraska.

Despite his ability to raise money, with his idiotic comments that make him the male version of AOC, I just cannot believe this idiot will make it to Iowa.

   I'll trade 3/5 status for all Dems in return for the abolishment of the EC. 
   Another Civil War seems inevitable at this point anyway.

I reserve my opinion on this until Chicago and the coasts decide for me who the President will be.

   It's probably already been decided, we just haven't seen the memo.

Definitely seems like a possibility at this point in time.
