VP Debate Tonight At 9:00 PM ET

The Constitution says nothing about presidential candidates getting fewer votes and still winning the election, Kleetus. Nothing about the electoral college says that.
The Constitution also doesn't include who can vote; it was left up to each individual state to decide, which is why we have additional amendments expanding voting rights to specific groups. The founding fathers, who were much smarter than you, did not want a direct democratic vote and drafted Article II, Section 1 establishing the Electoral College as the method for electing the President and Vice President. Cheers!

That's because the men much smarter than you established the electoral college process for electing our president and vice president. They did not want a direct democracy rule, and if you knew your history, you wouldn't be making stupid remarks like this. It was intentional.

This is the bottom line -- the founding fathers never intended for the presidential candidate who got fewer votes to win the election.

You worthless Repugs want to keep this electoral college farce because it's the only chance in hell that Trump has of winning again.

Irrelevant, gomer. The founding fathers never intended for the presidential candidate who got fewer votes to win the election.

This has nothing to do with the tiresome democracy vs republic debate.

The founding fathers never intended that TWO states should decide who wins the election, while people in rural states are overlooked entirely.

And that’s what would happen if we abolished the Electoral College.

Every colony/state was rural in the 1780s when the Constitution was written, you hopeless imbecile. You have no idea what you are saying.

Some more than others. And the Founding Fathers wanted a layer of protection from idiot voters such as yourself and people who had common sense - hence, the elector system.

You're fucking clueless, bumpkin.

The Constitution gives two Senate seats to every state, including states with small populations. That is how the rights of small states are guaranteed, not from the electoral college.
