MSNBC tears are so tasty.

Says the electoral college was the single biggest mistake by the founding fathers and is outdated.

MSNBC personalities were more bitter and angry than actual Democrat politicians on the Maddow show.

Ahhh....

The Electoral College is arcane and outdated.

Just cited Federalist 68.

So...now the Founding Fathers are to be considered.

He might be right, but the mistake they make is that they act like the popular vote would go the same way if the EC was blown up. You can't champion the popular vote when the candidates and parties have focused their efforts winning a state like New Hampshire.

Arguing that Clinton would have won if you based it on the popular vote is disingenuous because the campaigns would be run much differently in that case.

Cool. With California wanting to leave Dems will lose the popular vote by an easy three million every single time.

Plus the fact that the number of people voting red in California would skyrocket because it wouldn't be a lost cause anymore.

I've never seen anything like this and to think it's a temper tantrum over an election. Especially one that resulted in the the media declaring our constitution a card trick.

As someone who lives near a big urban area but is from a small town people in big cities know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about rural america. To people who grew up where Im at I talk about my home town and they act like its a different planet.

We arent electing the mayor of NYC LA and Chicago. The candidate for president should need to appeal to as much of the different walks of life to take as much of the american electorate into account when they make a decision and the electoral college is an ingenious way to do that.

Yeah because just using the popular vote and allowing large cities and large states to decide it all is totally fair.

Bottom line is, anything that doesn't get their candidate elected is unfair.
