    With a popular vote a few big urban states would run the country while the rest of us had no say. The "United" States was intentionally set up in a way so all states had a voice in federal government. It's what keeps the union United.

    Change the election rule to both a majority of the EV and a majority of the PV.

    Under your system, how would other results be resolved?

    Well, keep in mind that Kyrsten Sinema Reminds Us That Democrats Hate Housewives.

    Just as Democrats try to woo suburban moms ahead of next month’s election, along comes Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) to remind us how much the Left hates us.

    Sinema is running against her Republican House colleague, Rep. Martha McSally, for the open seat vacated by retiring Arizona Senator Jeff Flake. The 42-year-old unmarried bisexual atheist lawyer with a Ph.D. in Justice Studies has some interesting views on life, as you might imagine.

    She once wrote that capitalism poses a danger to Americans; she was an anti-war activist in the early 2000s—one of her protest groups distributed flyers portraying U.S. soldiers as skeletons with automatic rifles; she summoned witches to one anti-war stunt; and she mocks her own (adopted) home state as a “meth lab of democracy” whose residents are “crazy.”

    Not exactly a winning campaign message when you’re running in Arizona.

    But it’s her 2006 profane comments ridiculing stay-at-home moms that now pose a major problem for her party, and could very well cost her the election. Then-state representative Sinema questioned the feminist cred of women who don’t work outside the home and instead chose to care for their families. “These women who act like staying at home, leeching off their husbands or boyfriends, and just cashing the checks is some sort of feminism because they’re choosing to live that life,” Sinema said during an interview with a Scottsdale magazine. “That’s bullshit. I mean, what the f— are we really talking about here?”​

    All the Democrats had to do was not be crazy. . . .

    So he learned the rules of the game pretty quickly and adapted his campaign to maximise his chances.I can quote what Hillary said about not accepting the results of the elections.The last debate.Grow up and give the guy some credit for outsmarting the Republican establishment first and then outsmarting the DNC by shashing their Blue Wall into pieces.

    That article says nothing about what proportion of grads and non grads vote for each candidate.
    It only says there are more people without degrees than with that voted. Imagine my surprise.

    I think the immigration crisis is helping.

    No surprise to me either. Higher education has turned into liberal indoctrination
