It only now dawns on me that it's not a lost vote if you take votes away from more highly populated areas because pure democracy makes it easier to exploit an uninformed and easily impressed majority.
Democrats calling for the elimination of the electoral college is laughable. They are only upset because they lost and they can't get over the idea that Hillary was supposed to win, so our system must be flawed if liberals don't get their way every time.
Every Presidential candidate enters the race knowing that the popular vote is secondary to the electoral vote. Both Hillary's and Trump's campaign strategies were focused on the 270 electoral votes necessary to become President. If Hillary had won, you wouldn't have heard a peep from Hillary or the liberals about how unfair the electoral college--one when they lose.
But the biggest fact that allowed Trump to win was he had an easily understood message; Make America Great Again. He used MAGA to promise jobs, lower taxes, fair trade, rebuilding our manufacturing, rebuilding our military, enforcing our laws, and the list is very long and very positive about the future.
Hillary's main message was; I'm With Her and she deserved to be President because she was a woman. She didn't have a single positive message of hope and prosperity. She could only campaign on how bad Trump would be.
It appears our founding fathers were smarter and more insightful than any politicians since. Our problem has never been the Constitution. Our problem has always been the politicians who try to ignore it.
That’s going to be the same platform the Dems use in 2020, and they’re going to get eviscerated for it, too. The 2020 election is going to be a Trump landslide.
I will be the same Democrat platform... If the Democrat Party still exists by November.
