Yes, most conservatives are truly this stupid and ignorant.
The Electoral College can be eliminated only by an amendment to the Constitution – once the Constitution is amended, it’s beyond the purview of the Supreme Court to ‘strike down.’
And the amendment process functions independent of the Supreme Court, which has no authority to interfere with that process.
The best example of this would be the 14th Amendment rendering void the Dred Scott decision.
Conservatives couldn’t care less about ‘preserving’ the Electoral Collage or the ‘original intent’ of the Framers. Their defense of the Electoral College is solely partisan, electing Republican presidents contrary to the will of the majority of the people.
A typically partisan response from the Board idiot. The Electoral College is one of the checks against the Mob that the Founders were so concerned about. And you are an excellent example why their concern was well founded.
And Trump so wanted to get rid of it, because it served the Democrats. Now he likes it.
Name a Democrat that lost the National Popular vote and won the Electoral College?
Until then you and Trump need to learn history because the only ones that won the Electoratal College while losing the Popular Vote was Republicans and John Quincy Adams...
Presidents Winning Without Popular Vote - FactCheck.org
I know Trump is ignorant. (Gore and Clinton won the popular vote)
What has to do with the Price of Tea in China?
National Popular vote has never elected the President and a argument can be made for Gore but not for Clinton because as pointed out She lost too many States and Gore lost Florida but had he won his Home State of Tennessee Bush would have never been President.
So before you bash Trump why not learn when you can argue and stop pretending Clinton was Popular across this country and she was only Popular in certain states which is why she lost the Electoral College!
Well then its about time it is done away with. The reason it was started is because the rich white men were the only ones that could read and travel. Those small non populous states are represented in the congress. We should also take away one of their Senators.
