If so, that begs my attention and a visit to Frostie's place up in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, Minnesota, for a multiple overnights bivouac.

What say you, Frostie Maybe late next Spring or early summer If so, I would likely bring my RV motorhome. As you know, I visited the Minnesota North Shore from Duluth all the way to Grand Portage a few years ago, prior to joining OPP.

No Democrat has ever said they want to do away with the Constitution, that just not true but you "choose" to believe it as it fits your monologue.

We would like the electoral vote to represent the voters better, every vote should count equally. We have always believed in the Constitution and that that is more empty rhetoric.

From your posts, I strongly doubt you would seriously consider someone from the left.


If one listens to the Democrats talking points and their actions lean to do away of seriously limit it !

Surely you jest that doing away with the Elector College will make every vote count equally is completely false !

The larger populated states would and could knock out smaller states making their votes irreverent !
The way it is every state has according to the population a set number of Electors per population which is about as equal as they can get !

As of 2010, the five smallest states by population are Wyoming, Vermont, North Dakota, Alaska and South Dakota.

The founding fathers were a lot smarter that most folks are today if the Electoral College was done away with Presidential candidates wouldn't bother visiting these 5 small states as their vote wouldn't amount to anything !
They would spend all their time and money where the votes would actually count !

The popular vote would make the votes in the 5 smallest states irrelevant !

East Coast 24,380,046 Pop

West Coast 47,809,570, Pop

East Coast 24,380,046
West "" 47,809,570

Combined Total 72,189,616

If 2/3 of both Coast voted lets say for liberal 48,126,410.66


5 Smallest States combined 2,631,138

WY 563,626

VT 625,741

ND 627,591

AK 814,180

Combined 2,631,138 Pop

if the 5 smallest states voted 100% Conservative it'd make no difference their vote would still be irrelevant !

So do you still think that every vote would count equally ?

If I were a betting man I'd lay odds 10 to 1 that In the event the Electoral College was done away with and if the popular vote went to a Republican the Democrats would demand that the Elector College be instated asap !

Soros, in the opinion of many on OPP is bank rolling the entire democrat party..

He in fact does nothing of the sort.

While very true that he has put his money where his mouth is, he does not fund rabble in the streets or any nefarious group who attacks our country.

He does fund via his foundation, human right and the spread of democracy nearly world wide.

You may well disagree with President Obama policies, but if you are honest you would have to admit that they had the best interests of all Americans included..

Consumer protection, health care and better jobs/security where very clear in his efforts..

trump on the other hand, as was in the post, has only himself and the very rich in mind when he creates better ways for the rich to get richer and places those supporters who gave tons of money positions in his cabinet..

Nothing he has done has been good for the majority of Americans..

He still works at ending health care for all via the ACA and has nothing at all to replace it with..

that alone is an issue which should remove him from office via election..

Release November!!!

Actually he does (or at least did) fund some of the rabble perm. I used to have the documentation. I'm not going to go searching for all the links through the different organizations again but yes, he sure did. He's an intelligent man and not stupid enough to make any direct donations. That's not to say the same thing doesn't happen on the right - I'm sure it does.

I'm so sorry..
I hope you feel better.
Actually, I've been feeling sorry for you if you have arthritis.
Living there with all that snow.
That would have to be painful.
It doesn't feel like fall here yet.
Still running the A/C.
I know your state is gorgeous in the summer, but I don't think I could handle the winters.

No, I always have been and remain a strong advocate for the electoral college. I hear and understand the arguments for a popular vote, yet I'm not convinced the current system is outdated. I could/would accept a constitutional amendment for the change. I don't see that happening anytime soon.

This is just what I'm talking about, I never said to do away with the electoral vote, you hear only what you want to hear.

In a democracy including [representative democracy aka, a republic,] the people's majority wins, that is what wins in everything we do, including an electoral college, the majority votes wins, not the minority. Our democracy chooses our congressmen and all the way to prove who is innocent and who is guilty in a courtroom.

Thinking the losing side is irrelevant isn't true, but that's how you choose to think of it. It is how we pick our people. Yes, there is a losing side, but a decent president would not just hone into his base but consider all Americans, but as of late that is not what's been happening at all.

We would be fine without a party, better off I'd say. Let the people speak directly. If that happened now we'd have new gun laws, we'd be fighting for a clean environment, we'd be forging ahead into more new energy. The oil industry has been holding us down, not letting us fly.

I looked back at my post and I could not find anywhere I said you wanted to do away with the electoral vote !
Hillary and many others have said it !

I've never heard of any Republican Presidential Candidate call for the removal of the Electoral College when they lost !

Give the fact the Democrats are telling us they want to completely do away with the Constitution and Electoral College and provide sanctuary cities and states , have open borders etc etc etc !

I'll stay with the Republicans because at this time we are only a two party government with several sideline parties that makes no difference and only helps the Democrats in the end !

Now in the event a third party with some really good solid people were to come into play it is at that time I'd seriously take a look at them !

Blabber, blabber and more rubbish. Ovommit and his administration were total duds. Hated the US and brought in the criminal element, more insane islamists, and kissed the mullah's butts. I am amazed that ovommit is still worthy of pulling the wool over your eyes. Rob is not confused but you surely are. Hitlery and Ovommit tried to turn us into a 3rd world , anti-Christian, globalist country. Trump has no such plan. You guys need a re-education camp.
