The Dems want to eliminate the Elector College because ‘dey was robbed’. Popular vote counts and Hillary should have won. Reminding them of the following has no import or significance to them:
The Founding Fathers created the Electoral College to ensure that all states were fairly represented. Why should one or two densely populated states speak for the whole nation?
There are 3,141 counties in the United States. Trump won 3,084; Clinton won 57.
There are 62 counties in New York State. Trump won 46; Clinton won 16.
Clinton won the popular vote by approximately 1.5 million votes. In the 5 counties that encompass New York City, Clinton received over two million more votes than Trump. These five counties alone accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country.
These five counties comprise 319 square miles. Our country comprises near 4 million square miles. It would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those who inhabit 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election?
The Dems are doing nothing positive to give the ‘deplorables’ a reason to come back to their side. Impeachment, yawn! Socialism, giving illegal immigrants same rights as citizens have, free education, no border crisis resolve, really?
