So if Trump wins the popular vote, California would award its electoral votes to him? That would be fun.


Oh my god that would be the sweetest melt of all of them. Because it’s a real possibility to happen this election.

Gun control, removal of monument protection, and now this. It’s like the Dems in Virginia are doing their damndest to give Virginians the biggest “frick you” they can.

How many Rs in California typically stay home bc they know it doesn’t really matter? Wouldn’t this essentially change things if they know now that moving the Cal tally from 65-35 to 60-40 could make a HUGE difference and potentially award their state to Trump especially if folks in high population blue states do the same.

This is a sad time for my home.



Short of storming the house and dragging each one out and the street to face a mob of pissed-off Americans I don't see a way VA recovers anytime soon.

The only option seems to be violence at times but I hope there’s another way.

The house pushed through so much prog bullshite today that’s it is hard to fathom.

Hopefully the middle sees it and revolts. That’s one way to avoid vilolence.

Racist Northam is telling Newsom to hold his White Claw.

They are campaigning for Trump over and over. The conservative will be out in force in 2020. The Dems have weak candidates and will run a weaker nominee. This is a dream come true. They are destroying their party.

Why do democrats hate the electoral college but have no problem with their own party’s presidential primaries that are set up virtually identical to the electoral college where each state has a set number of delegates they send to the convention where the delegates do actual voting for their candidate?

Holy disenfranhisement Batman!

Seriously, why even bother to vote if you live in Virginia? Your vote literally doesn't count as it is supposed to count. It's simply one of millions in the collective vote gumbo.

Well not like we could make a bunch of false claims against them to have them removed or resign. Coonman shoved that notion down the drain.

In many ways, Northam is the most dangerous man in America right now and needs his reckoning via being slapped in the face by the constitution or the NYC yellow pages.

When an earthquake makes the CA coast fall in the ocean and/or a dirty bomb wipes out Manhattan, the Dems would never ever win another Presidential election because of their rules.

Would my fist suffice in the absence of the phone book?

Kidding but I’d like a few minutes alone with him.

Virginia's leadership must be sucking each other's farts lately to come to the conclusions they have.

Those states are not winner takes all in the Dem nomination process

Only if you clutch a few Chesapeake Oyster shells in your knuckles.

It’s always going to have to come to that. The divide is growing wider and deeper each day.

I'm trying to imagine the melt if Trump wins the popular vote.

Twatter might crash.

It makes zero sense for blue states to do this but whatever
