Nobody proposed this before Trump beat Queen Hildabeast.  The process was good enough for Obama -- twice! Suddenly, just 4 short years later, the founders' 243-year-old election rules are wrong?  LOL! 

You don't change the rules just because you don't like the results from one election. You do it to cheat.  Changing the rules doesn't guarantee victory in the future. The same rules will apply to everyone.

The only advantage in this proposal to Democrats is they know they can't win on the radical agendas they are proposing.  Giving states with the most Socialist-Democrat voters more power is their plan.

We are a Republic, not a Democracy. Democracy = Mob Rule. The rights of the minority will be decided by the majority.

Changing the Electoral College requires a Constitutional Amendment. I don't see this happening in my lifetime.

They cheated and they still lost.
1) "Allowing" illegals into the country. Offering them taxpayer funded "free" services and money in exchange for votes.
2) Having dead people vote.
3) Voting machines that flip votes.
4) Not prosecuting someone who clearly (with evidence) and purposely breached national security with her private email server.

Since they didn't win with cheating, changing the rules is their logical next step.
I'm really amazed Trump won with the chips stacked so heavily against him.

I've always said, if the 2016 election was error- and fraud-free, Trump would have also gotten more individual votes than HRC.

Court cases in the news have been trickling in. A hundred illegals voting here, a couple hundred double voters there.  It adds up.

Project Veritas just released a video where they interviewed people at home in Florida whose names popped up on a list that cross-referenced voters in New York. All of them had moved from New York to Florida. The data showed they had voted in both states in the 2016 election.  All of them were shocked to hear that, and a few were outraged.

It's happening.  Few politicians care.

More usless bullshatz from our virtue signalling leaders. Alas we already give our EC votes to CA/NY.
When my coworkers give me the "its only fair"argument, I ask them "would you have a problem with only Honolulu's votes mattering for Gov/Mayoral elections?Or only Oahu's votes mattering?" Their hamster wheels start spinning. All we can do is enlighten a little at a time.

More like the politicians in charge don't care because it benefits them.  Last estimate I saw said that about 1 million people voted illegally (no US citizen, deceased, etc...). Which would have been enough for Trump to win the popular vote.  Now that is assuming most voted for Hillary.  I don't see an illegal alien voting to support Trump.

Also forgetting about how Hillary got the questions prior to the debate and that Bernie got screwed over for the DNC nomination.  A guy who gets screwed over and says nothing, is not someone who I want running the country.  We need a leader with balls.

Shitz is a statist asshole. 

40 states have less population than JUST L.A. county.  That is why we have the electoral college,   

Of course, Shitz has no problem with how L.A. votes controlling the election.

US Senators and Reps get paid the same, $174,000.  More if you hold certain positions.  Pelosi as Speaker gets $233,000.
