Danyael it is this very arrogance that has given the GOP the Supreme Court, the President, the Senate and the House. I remember your arrogant response when I told you that a loss in PA and MI was possible!
The Democrats bomb my phone, my mail box and my emails when they want my vote, so I have every right to offer my opinion. Slavery was abolished in 1865 so they do NOT have the right to ignore my views and then arrogantly demand that I vote for them.
Hillary LOST. She wins the national vote only because CA is a huge state and it votes lopsidedly for the Dems. This does NOT represent broad based support for her. The Dems CANNOT succeed based upon lop sided wins in one state!
There is NO chance that the electoral college will be abolished because there are NO votes for it. The fact that the Dems now raise this is a futile attempt to evade the fact that the rules that they had no problem with on November 7th, when they thought that they would win now suddenly become problematic.
Here is the reality. The electoral college is a predictor of how Congressional races and the Senate will run, because it is based on these numbers. Of Hillary lost PA then likely the Democrats will lose in Congressional races in that state and also the Senate races.
Now the Dems always do worse in the mid terms than they do in the presidential because their base doesn't understand the importance of voting for senate and congressional positions, so stay away.
I suggest to you that the priority now should NOT be the electoral college. That will NOT happen. The priority ought to be for the Democratic party to move to the post Clinton/Obama era, to find new candidates, to reconnect with its base, and to take back the Senate in 2018.
And in the meantime hope that Trump and the GOP don't do too much damage in 2017-18.
