To all You dumb ass Libtards and Democrats..THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE IS NOT GOING AWAY!!!!

If you only take LA County and NYC away from Clinton, Trump wins the popular vote by 500,000 votes.

It would seem "easier" for the Democrats to select someone as a candidate who had a "dog's chance in Hell" winning the final race ... without playing a "racist" or "misogynist" card in order to intimidate voters into supporting the candidate out of fear of being labeled an offensive name.

In other words .. someone with some sort of qualifications as an executive and/or manager of people in a crisis environment who was interested in focusing on ALL the citizens of the United States as opposed to a narrow group of contributors and ass-kissers.... and who isn't interested in selling their influence in the U.S. Government.

Driving a sub, removing (without replacing) insulation in public housing, and stuffing one's charitable slush fund are not the kinds of qualifications suitable for the job. Originally Posted by LexusLover

Great Post...... After looking up the final results, it turns out that Manhattan
voted for Clinton over Trump by about 8 to 1...(!!!!).

Usually a candidate carries his/her home town, but not in this election.

The rest of New York City boroughs and Los Angeles County voted for Clinton
by about 3 to 1.

So your thesis appears CORRECT..

And the rest

If I remember correctly, it's the states that set that requirement. The Constitution directs the states to regulate how electors are chosen. Most states require electors to vote for the winner of the state.

Post a quote of the provision in the U.S. Constitution in which it states that Electors can vote for whomever they wish to vote.

Before you started crapping up the threads in here there was a lengthy discussion about that topic with references to case law opinions of the SCOTUS. You're late with your bullshit, again.

Where is it in the U.S. Constitution that it says women can have an abortion if they want one?

When the Constitution was written, it was the electors who decided who the President was going to be, so of course they could vote for whoever they wanted.

Each state individually decided to hold a popular vote and to compel electoral voters to vote according to the results.

It's the states, not the Constitution, that give the popular vote any relevance. The Constitution is still written to reflect the original system.

You can't "cherry pick" the parts you want to keep, you know!

I don't know, I can see the appeal of the old system. 2 degrees of separation between the general public and the President seems like a pretty decent idea, sometimes.

"The Old System":

"As specified by the Constitution, the President was chosen by the Electoral College. In 1788, the method for selecting electors was decided by each state legislature—by public vote in some states and by legislative selection in others. Each state had as many electors as senators and representatives. The election was administered only in ten of the states because Rhode Island and North Carolina had yet to ratify the Constitution and a quarreling New York failed to choose electors in time. Each elector was given two votes to cast for President. Washington received the support of every one of the electors, each of whom cast one of the two ballots for him. John Adams, who received thirty-four votes, was the runner-up and was thus named vice president." (Source)
