If a CLINTON couldn't beat a white male celebrity from Queens, Pocahontas doesn't stand a prayer.
At least you know it will sound sexist. Sexist, racist, and all the other ist's and ism's are fancy words for prejudice. I'll give you credit; You're one of the few people that actually own their prejudiced attitudes and opinions. You even seem to take pride in them. That's pretty rare.
Trump got elected because of the policies he was proposing and not being politically correct. Current Dem and Rep politicians are shooting themselves in the foot because they refuse to ruin their own gravy train.
Oh, definitely. Trump is completely without blame. He's doing everything he can to get things done.
Trump is doing nothing he didn't do on the campaign trail. I don't credit or blame him. Rep had 7 fricken years to come up with a solution to the failed healthcare disaster. He's calling them out just like the voters will. The electoral college may go away but it served the exact purpose it was put in place for, California nor New York were allowed to chose a President and say screw the other 48 states.
Does it make my wife, mother and grandmother prejudiced that they don't want a woman President?
I don't know, does it?
They are prejudiced, sexist is what Strum said, other than that I don't know. Or maybe they have not seen one they thought could do the job.
I'm just trying to prepare you for the electoral college no longer being used in the future.
Well, they are certainly prejudiced if they wouldn't vote for a woman under any circumstance.
And I'm just telling you it served the EXACT purpose the founders had in mind.
To be fair, I have some ultra-liberal friends who would insist that women can be sexist toward women. I don't get it, but that's their assertion. Just like black people can say niggger, but white people can't. I don't get that logic, either. If the word is used as a pejorative, why does it matter what mouth it comes from?
So you think 2/3 of the States or whatever it takes will make such a change to the Constitution?
He means they'd never vote for a woman who claims to be a Democrat or liberal.
If you will reread my poast, skipping the grammatical error, you will see that I didn't say NEVER skippy.
Nikki Haley has a very promising political career. She can brown-nose and pander better than most male politicians.
I think it will be a memory. Whatever it takes, it will cease to decide the presidency. It's obsolete and has been for a very long time.
Interesting. That's a lot of people that you think are the lowest common denominator. It's also pretty arrogant.
Never going to happen.
Good luck getting it out of the Constitution. Maybe @TarHeelNation11 can shed some light. I think he's a history major.
You can't. And I notice you didn't comment on the fact that it does what is meant to do.
I'm not above arrogant. Neither are you. It's not arrogant to acknowledge that we all have the same lowest common denominator. All of our shit stinks.
Oh, it's harder than that. 2/3 just gets the convention together. 3/4 have to ratify it. Given the fact that the GOP controls a majority of the states as well as both houses of congress the chances of that happen are about the same as the world ending today. That doesn't even take into account the GOP has been the beneficiary of the electoral college the last two times it's come into play. They have no reason to want to change it since it benefits them.
Why thank you kind sir for a fact based poast. Although you are wrong and full of sh!t because Strum said so!
Well, I don't think I'm wrong about this issue, but he's probably right about me being full of shit.
I said it was coming. I didn't say it was coming tomorrow. You said "Never going to happen." I have absolutely no doubt that it will be gone. It might even take 50 years. But, it's coming. In fact, the more frequently these elections result in the winner not having the popular vote, the faster it becomes a memory.
I know this much... there are far more people that believe it is obsolete than there are that believe it should remain intact. And like it or not, we are in a democratic society.
You might be right in that more people believe that but good luck getting 38 states to go along with it.
I don't need the luck. I have the numbers. YOU NEED THE LUCK trying to keep it intact!
