Re: Why National Popular Vote Is A Bad Idea

Our whole system has had a remarkable outcome which helps to keep out people who are not suitable for the office. If Donald Trump can't participate in the system that's been set up for generations, he needs to drop out.

Keep in mind that Obama won the popular vote, but also won the delegates. The only difference between Obama and Trump is, Obama won MORE than 37% of the popular vote. Obama won 51.1%.
Oh be quiet. Did I even hint at wanting to abolish the electoral college? Geesh.

Brother, I am for abolishing the 17th Amendment. That should tell you something.
