Typical toddler behavior by some who refer to the middle of the country as "flyover country." On Tuesday evening I dealt with two rabid anti-Trump democratic activists who were imported to our voting district who were students who never held a job yet. They asked questions of me and I answered them as gracefully as I could while they spewed forth anti-Trump statements. This went on for over 20 minute and one [the pre-law student blew up] while the other one became
One issue which plagued both the Clinton and Trump campaign was touting economic, industry and military celebrities as though their opinions were much more important than the rest of ours.
1. The national primary process is deliberately designed to ensure the candidates for POTUS go to states with the smaller number of electors because even if a state is small in population the people of the state are important
2. The electoral college is structured parallel to the U.S. House of Representatives where each representative is equal in principle - even those who are the lone representative of their state.
3. The electoral college is designed well and is structured to follow the US Constitution while each state elector accts in accordance with their state's constitution. Most states are winner take all but four allocate electors on the based on proportional election voting.
4. California and New York are dominant in terms of population yet their populations have been reduced. The both lost representatives and electors on the basis of the 2010 census. Based on populations shifts they will continue to lose representatives and electors when the 2020 census takes place.
5. The equitable way to influence the Electoral College would be to encourage the states to modify their constitutions to use proportional allocation of electors.

I believe the Electoral College is bound by the Constitution is it not? Sore losers need to take a dose of "TriAct'n" = Try acting like a grown-up.

SPC John Parmenter - She refuses to acknowlege that something like 30 states have STATE laws (Sorry, Jess, electors still have to follow those, too) that prevent them from doing what she's inciting.

Indeed. But you're asking to give total power to only two of them: New York and California. Ain't gonna happen.
