Election 2020

Quote:A movement exists for states assigning their electoral votes in accordance with the national popular vote.

There have been movements to destroy or otherwise manipulate the electoral college since 1800.  All of them have failed, and failed with good reason.  Their "solutions" would ultimately destroy the republic.

Quote:One more Donald Trump who wins the Electoral College despite losing the plurality of the popular vote by about 2% and being a sick joke as President will make such possible.

I doubt that.  However, for the sake of argument lets suppose you are right on this (I'll call it playing devil's advocate).  That means then that because of the three largest cities are in three blue states that a civil war will become inevitable because on the national level the smaller states will have no chance at representation.  What will be the inevitable result of this?  New York, Chicago and LA will be crushed because those smaller, rural states control the food and resource production.

If you really want to see the country rend itself apart I say go ahead.

Quote:<snip> Polls </snip>

I've told you before I don't care about your polls.  Here I'll let Styx explain why.

Quote: God-Emperor? You must be joking!

No actually I'm not.  BTW, yeah people still don't care for Caligula..but Augustus is pretty popular to this day too.  I will agree with you that Reagan was charismatic.  Obama was a stuttering communist who managed to get elected twice because McCain selected someone unsuitable to be a 72 year old's heart beat away from the Presidency and Romney was just simply too weird to be President.

Obama got lucky in running against the two weakest GOP candidates in generations.
