If you break it down even finer, it becomes even more glaring.

An intellectual and understandable explanation of the WHY the Electoral College was put in place by the Founding Fathers. As such, no libtard I've met could even begin to understand it - scatologically parsed, they have their heads too far up there asses and believe there shit doesn't stink. It would most likely be a waste of electrons to show this to a libtard.

Excellent vid - I'm going to subscribe to his youtube chan - Farcebook is not going to happen with me.

This should be shown in every high school civics class. Too bad it never will.

Imagine if the electors were voted on 4 years ahead of the presidential election. Where you actually had to pick people who would then pick a president, but you didn't know who the presidential choices would be at the time.

Would change the whole dynamic, and eliminate multi million dollar national campaigns. Not sure it would be better, but it would be different.

The more I think about it the more I think I could get on board with abolishing the electoral college. But only if we replaced it with Thunderdome.

Why we need the Electoral College - Personal Liberty®

The system really should be implemented in the states for the exact same reason that we use this system Countrywide. The idea that the person running needs to appeal to more than just the masses. And historically the urban centres are always going to lean to the left as it's just human nature. The founders knew this and we're smart enough to implement it on the federal level.

There are 3,141 counties in the United States.

Trump won 3,084 of them.
Clinton won 57.

There are 62 counties in New York State.

Trump won 46 of them.
Clinton won 16.

Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes.

In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties; Trump won Richmond)

Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country.

These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles.
The United States is comprised of 3, 797,000 square miles.

When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election.

Large, densely populated Democrat cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc) don’t and shouldn’t speak for the rest of our country.
