The electoral college already gives voters in "flyover states" more political clout than they deserve

How do you figure? Look at any map that outlines the popular vote for the Election, if it wasn't for Seattle, Portland, S.F., L.A. Santa Barbara & NYC, Hillary Clinton would have been slaughtered.

So why should a person's vote in those places be worth less than a person's vote anywhere else? You could add up the population of several flyover states and it still wouldn't equal the population of NYC, so why do states with less than a million people get 3 electoral votes? The fact that low population states have the same number of senate seats as a state with a huge population skews the power of the electoral college. It appears that you are happy that a person's vote in a rural part of the country counts more than a person's vote in a large city. I don't see how that's fair.

I don't see how that's fair.

4 times since 1787 and through 45 Presidents, hardly seems "unfair".

Twice since 2000, and most recently the loser recieved 2.1% more votes than the winner. Like Trump said, the system is rigged.

Losers call the system rigged.
The People and President Trump call it the Constitution.

If you don't understand the electoral college system or just don't like it because you lost, change it.
It is a thing called Convention of States.
Hint: it ain't gonna change.

You took that out of context in typical far-left style.

In that tweet Donald Trump was mocking the Democrat's system that prevented Bernie or anyone else from getting the nomination.

And the electoral college tweet above?

When Candidate Trump made that tweet about the electoral college the Democrat activist and the corrupt liberal media were pushing the electors pledged to Donald Trump to switch their vote to Hillary Clinton.

Or did you miss the 2016 election manipulation by the left and their lemming in the corrupt liberal media?

OK, we get it - your only source is faux news. Where is the link to the ICE agent who quit because he wouldn't lie for Sessions? Next.....

The intelligent response would be to admit you were wrong. You know, be a man.

The troll response would be to attack the person who produced facts.

Because no link exists to your lie.

The ICE Spokesman quit and it had nothing to do with AG Sessions.
The actual reason has been widely reported by legitimate news organizations who use the actual quote from the ICE Spokesman.

Russians never admit they're wrong, and either does Trump. Doesn't really matter though. Nobody around here believes a thing Mule posts. He's pretty much posting for himself, and for the rest of us to laugh at.

Looks like you have a reading comprehension problem...

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman in San Francisco has quit his post, saying he refuses to promote fake news from the Trump administration about a recent immigration sweep in Northern California.

James Schwab told the San Francisco Chronicle he resigned in frustration last week after Attorney General Jeff Sessions and ICE director Thomas Homa repeatedly claimed that more than 800 undocumented immigrants escaped arrest because Oakland Mayor Elizabeth Schaff warned of a possible crackdown hours before it began.

“I quit because I didn’t want to perpetuate misleading facts,” Schwab, who was hired during the Obama administration, told the Chronicle. “I told them that the information was wrong. They asked me to deflect, and I didn’t agree with that."

The Justice Department has been escalating its push against so-called sanctuary cities and states. The department claimed in a lawsuit filed last week that three California laws interfere with the federal government's immigration enforcement authority.

There are numerous other links, but you knew that....... why don't you go spread your lies on Brietbart or something? Can you get to that site from your troll farm? 😛

You are one sick puppy mulekraut.

And the racist posts again.

Yep, and you dig yourself deeper by obviously paying close attention and trolling every smallest detail here yet avoid a point blank question asked multiple times:

What is your opinion of the veracity of the historical record of the Jewish Holocaust?

The death of a homeless family is most certainly not a "smallest detail" except to a racist such as yourself.

Why won't you touch this question:

Muleman1994, do you believe the Jewish Holocaust did not occur?

Beautiful day here in So Cal. Clear, sunny, warm, green hills and crisp air. It isn't perfect but damned if I'm ever leaving. Best part is I don't have to worry about running into Mule or Goob! 😛
