Getting rid of the electoral college obviously would mean all a candidate would have to do is win the majority CA, TX, FL, NY, PA and the heck with winning the rest of the country.

Good plan Buttgig!
It is worse than that. All the Dems would have to do is to win NYC, LA, Chicago, St. Louis, et al.
It would no longer be a 'national' election. States would no longer matter.
It would be an election of a few Democrat run urban cities ruling the entire country.
Of course they know this, and that is exactly what the Dems want.
Democrats have no sense of integrity, dignity, or fair play. They don't care at all about that stuff.
Their motto is, "Whatever it takes! Just win! At any cost!"

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

It was purposely created that way so it will not be democratic, but a republic.

He does not know the difference.


We LIKE the Republic.  No state has  more of a vote then any other.  Rhode Island, same as TEXAS.  About 4 states would decide everything with Petes way. USEFUL IDIOTS

This is political posturing,  nothing more.    The EC won't be abolished;  it would require a Constitutional amendment that would need to be ratified by the smaller states whose political power and influence would be sacrificed.   

I agree. This is red meat for the far left base and many of the 2020 Democratic nominees know this

I have to remember this the next time I'm talking with a liberal.

Liberals just don't see beyond their personal gratification. They see getting "free stuff" at someone else's expense as enhancing their freedom. They never consider the burden they place on others.

I think the NPV Compact movement has reached its high-water mark.  They have the "Big Blue" high population states and are having to seek out the "Small Blues" to get to their threshold. NV just had the bill vetoed (by a Rat Governor, IIRC).  I think this movement will have a stake in its heart if Trump wins reelection with a majority of the Popular vote.  The NPV nutz would realize the Compact would have caused their State to cast it's EC votes for the hated Donald Trump.  (I know you don't think he'll win at all.)

Secondly, if the necessary number of states do pass it there will be a good Constitutional challenge.



It is because of crazy ideas like this, that Never Trumpers, need to stop their "hate" on president TRUMP .  This is what the  LEFT want...their "HATE" , so to make us a COMMUNIST COUNTRY.  I GOT IT A LONG TIME AGO.....
Starving in a socialist country, as toddler/child.  I remember.

A democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on who gets eaten for dinner.


BUT...a lamb with a gun, under our republic...gets to stop the two wolves! 

There is the difference.  Democracy?  LAMB STEW.

As I've been posting whenever NPV is the subject.

Sooner or later NPV is going to end up in the U.S. Supreme Court.
How the Court rules is going to become the "Dred Scott" decision of the twenty-first century -- the spark that may ignite the conflagration.
