Confused Gillibrand Doesn’t Realize Electoral College Is Actually in the Constitution… Or She’s Deceiving Everyone

Does Kirsten Gillibrand not know that the Electoral College is part of the Constitution? Or is she trying to deceive everyone?

That’s the question raised by a tweet from the New York senator and 2020 presidential contender after a tweet earlier this week regarding yet another plan to scrap it.

According to The Daily Beast, Hawaii Democrat Sen. Brian Schatz became the latest to enter the fray in the frenzied scrum to do away with how we elect the president by introducing an amendment which would abolish the Electoral College and replace it with a national popular vote.

The DEM way is to lie and deceive.  If she doesn't realize that the electoral college is part of the Constitution under the 12th  Amendment, then she needs to hang it up.

Ok ... then I'd call her a 'deceiver'.

Gillibrand Twice Refers to Tactical Nuclear Weapons as ‘Tactile’
BY: Cameron Cawthorne   
April 8, 2019 3:00 pm

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand  (D., N.Y.) called tactical nuclear weapons "tactile" twice Friday during a meet-and-greet in New Hampshire.

Gillibrand, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, spoke at Flight Coffee in Dover, where she discussed her opposition to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019.

"We used to say we don't worry about a first strike because a first strike would end in complete devastation of the person who fired nuclear weapons," Gillibrand said. "When you say you want to develop low-yield nuclear weapons that are tactile, what you're saying is you want to use them." [or touch them?]

She later used the term "tactile" again when talking about her opposition to the defense bill. She said that she found it "not believable" when the Trump administration said that if nuclear weapons were usable, then they were a better threat. She said she opposed the entire defense bill because of that one provision. ...

"Tactile" is pretty close to "tactical". Maybe she was heard wrong.

Doesn't mean she's not a nitwit. lol
