    Maybe you'll get 38 states to agree.

    Which 38 states do you think would support an amendment to reduce their influence in a presidential election?

    Off hand, I couldn’t say. However at this point every state other than a few so called swing states are really meaningless in today’s presidential elections. Once people understand the absurdity of the present system, I think they would come around and insist on a fair, rational system in which every vote counts the same.

    As long as 38 states agree, I guess it'll happen.

    You have zero evidence they did or do vote.

    Why pretend you don't know what I'm talking about? Clinton received almost 3 million more votes than trump did.

    Don't create strawmen, and I won't call you on it. Simple.

    No, it is not a safe assumption, and the far right certainly do not respect our laws and history.

    no, it isn't a safe assumption. It's a baseless accusation, you can in no way support.

    The constitution stipulates how the president is to be chosen. The outcome of this constitutional process cannot, by definition, be un-American, unless one claims that the Constitution itself is un-American.

    Math.........I know it can be hard. But it is a demonstrable fact Clinton received almost 3 million more votes than trump.

    But, we both know you are pretending you don't know what votes I'm talking about. It's quite silly.

    There is no popular election for the president. The president is chosen by the method described in the constitution.
