Ya know, every time a Democrat candidate loses a
presidential contest, it’s either because the Republicans cheated, or it’s
about how the system is constructed in such a manner as to put the Democrat
candidate at some distinct disadvantage.
Never is it even contemplated that it was the Democrat candidate that
was the problem. And it’s once again
that we are hearing the same pathetic whining about how the Electoral College
somehow favors Republicans.
Bernie Sanders is but one more of those who has been
busy of late criticizing the Electoral College in the wake of Donald Trump’s
presidential election victory because, he said, Hitlery won the popular vote
and closely contested states receive too much attention. It was in an interview with the leftist rag,
USA Today, that Bernie said, “We may want to take a look at the whole Electoral
College, which is seating a man for president who didn’t get the most votes.”
Bernie, the self-proclaimed Socialist, said, “This
is something we need a serious discussion on.”
And he continued saying, “This campaign revolved around 15 states of the
country, right? Battleground states. My state of Vermont is a strong Democratic
state; no one paid attention. Wyoming is a Republican state; nobody paid
attention to Wyoming. Is that a good way?”
And he added, “I think we want to rethink that.”
Bernie failed to explain exactly how the abolition
of the Electoral College could possibly cause Vermont (pop.: 626,562) and
Wyoming (pop.: 584,153) to receive more attention from presidential candidates
in a nation of 318.9 million people. And
Bernie also failed to explain why his state should have two U.S. senators — out
of just 100 total — even though its population is roughly equal to the
population of El Paso, Texas. But
perhaps I digress.
In the rest of the USA Today interview, Sanders went
on to suggest that “there is an overlap” between his supporters and Trump
supporters. He asked, “Why is it that
you’re having a decent job at a factory, and that factory has gone to
China?” And also asked, “Why is it that
you’re seeing almost all new income and wealth go to the top 1 percent? People are angry and they’re frustrated.” And it’s under a Democrat that things have
gotten even worse.
Bernie, Bernie, Bernie. My God man, wake up and smell the
coffee. Any moron knows the Electoral
College overwhelmingly favors the Democrats. Take California, New York,
Illinois, plus New England and the mid-Atlantic states, and they're all
Democrat. The Democrat candidate - every presidential election - starts out
with a pretty serious advantage over whomever the Republican candidate might be
in terms of electoral votes.
Look one of the main reasons the Democrat Party lost
this time around should be painfully clear.
It was because they ran an extremely poor candidate, and for no other
reason than it was perceived as being her turn.
And you can’t really say that she was the most qualified Democrat, even
though that was the claim. So stand up,
be a man, dust yourself off and try again in 2020. Put your big-boy pants on, quite your damn
whining and move forward.
In addition to the fact they chose to run the worst
possible candidate, the Democrats ran a campaign geared to "more of the
same" when ‘The People’ were clamoring for something different. That the
Democrats failed in all respects in this election is a product of their own
ignorance and arrogance. They assume
that because they claim to be the protector of “the little guy”, people will
continue to believe it. And more and
more people simply don’t.
Maybe they’ve learned that you can’t be a national,
multi-regional party by catering only to leftists, socialists university brats
and ethnocentric groups. Roughly 30
percent of Hispanics and 8-15% of blacks voted for Trump. And what’s really the strangest part of all
of this is the fact that it was working class people who built the Democrat
Party in the first. The party has chosen
to now leave them in the dust in favor of courting minorities, illegals and
millennials.
Democrats have no respect for the hard working
middle class factory workers, ranchers or farmers that still make up the
overwhelming majority in flyover country.
Also, if you discount the illegal noncitizen votes then you'd have to
subtract the 3 million they know about from Hitlery's column. The sanctuary
cities and DC encouraged and allowed them to register and vote. Even with all the cheating and the media
hiding her criminal acts, she still lost.
What’s that tell ya?
Add to that, numerous Democrat judges in multiple
Democrat counties in Nevada, California and Oregon allowed polling places to
stay open until midnight which padded Hitlery's vote. The popular vote is not a
scientific measure. After Michigan reports, it will likely balance out. A good
analogy is this: You run a marathon and you cross the finish line. But you
decide to run an extra mile after you cross the finish line. That extra mile
does not negate the fact that you crossed the finish line.
So if 30 states voted for Trump, and only 21 voted
for Hillary, am I to assume that it would be "fair" that Hillary be
president? Good luck getting 33 states
to vote away their representation.
Because that's the only way a constitutional amendment will be passed to
shut down the electoral college. Try it. Go ahead. We dare you. Make sure you
have your safety pins on, you wouldn't want your diapers to fall down.
The Founding Fathers established our nation as a
‘Constitutional Republic’. And, as the
several states still play an out-sized role in the affairs of our nation, why
would anyone believe that cutting them out of the process would be
"progress". The Founding
Fathers were rightly wary about establishing a government based on complete democracy
as doing so would invite an unfettered tyranny of a majority which could change
established policies in a heartbeat.
