Every state would have to do it, or some states would still apportion their votes by popular vote within the state. The Republican states certainly aren't going to be keen on getting rid of it at the state level, that I can tell you.

bush_cheney2004 Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Bottom line is that the losers are still going berserk over Trump's victory and are so desperate to defeat him in 2020 they are fantasizing about something that is not going to happen....even in CANADA !

They already do that. That's what the Electoral College is dude. 48 of the 50 states and DC do it, Maine and Nebraska are the only outliers. The ignorance is impressive. You are literally arguing in favor of the Electoral College, while claiming you are arguing against it, because you don't even know what it is, and have it confused for something else entirely. So funny. Edited March 27, 2019 by Yzermandius19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your man is cozying up to the likes of Fat Kim, Putin, MBS, while democratic world leaders are doing their best to avoid him. That would give me cause for concern. Well unless you like dictators who like to kill their people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You worry about my president's policies, but I don't care what your prime minister does, because he is a lesser god on the world stage with little impact. World superpowers can use "dictators" for self interest....Canada still has to worry about what the U.S. is doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How you expect to run with the wolves come night, when you spend all day sparring with the puppies? Omar Knows.

So funny. I think it should be pretty obvious I am not in favor of the EC, and it's also pretty obvious you are rather ignorant of how it works. In any case the best thing would be to get rid of it and I think there are 12 states now who have decided to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are in favor of the EC, you just don't know what the EC is, so you think you are against it. 48 states and DC already award their electors the way you want them to, that's way more than 12. You've already won, only two states do it in a way you disapprove of. Owly loves the EC, Owly just doesn't know that Owly love it.

We just kinda giggle, roll our eyes whenever he sticks his foot in his mouth day to day, and feel a little sympathy for you. He is rather embarrassing I would think.

You just don't get it...and you never will. Trump's victory was a collective American "FU", and that includes the smug critics of America in Canada. What is embarrassing is investing so much in the political outcome of a foreign nation, as so many Canadians did...and still do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laugh at Trump too, he's effin funny. He's the funniest president in my lifetime, and probably the funniest president of all time, or at least top five. Best media troll ever to top it off.
