What is a joke is an apparent complete lack of understanding of our constitutional form of government.
It is a good example for those who do not understand how bad it would be if 3 large cities decided our hunting and fishing. Besides, Waterfowl is regulated at a federal level, so I hate to say it but you are WRONG LOL

Clinton received 61.09% of California's vote - 4,269,978 more votes than Trump in California alone
Additionally, she received 59.01% of NY vote - 1,736,590 more votes than Trump
Grand total of 6,006,568 more votes than Trump in California/NY
She won the popular vote by 2,868,686 total votes - a total which she doubled in those two states alone.
If you knock the split in those two states down to 50/50, Trump wins both popular and EC.
It's pretty simple math, and I got all this in about 5 minutes of looking.
I think the forefathers were pretty smart when they decided that the electoral college was a good idea.
Otherwise, the two extreme left states of our union would decide all policy.

And education used to be sole purview of the states, and criminal law, and waterfowl hunting, and medical insurance policy regulation, and, and, and . . . . . There is seemingly no end to our appetite to shift lawmaking to DC, so I wouldn't assume that PETA doesn't have other plans for hunting (or as they would say, "state sponsored animal genocide")

^^^^^^ one of HT's better posts lately ^^^^^^ (and for the record, I am a "never-trumper")
The more people there are in one place, the less independently they think. The electoral college is a way of diminishing the influence of groupthink.

If there was no electoral college, candidates would campaign differently. Money and visits would be focused on populated states. Backwater states like Montana would be completely ignored.

For those of you who are new here MTGomer is the lazy punk who makes comments behind his phone and computer that he wouldn't have the balls to say to someone face. Also go here for ignorant posts and talking out of both sides of one's mouth

Agreed. Populated states would try to sell the "backwater" states like Montana to fund their addiction to spending.
Interesting, while plinking pellets at the stock market activity, came across this gem... Trying to figure how to capitalize (pun intended) on this.
Figured not worth a new thread - so, sticking it in here.
I wonder if Oregon might stop supply and demand all together... It's a quick temp "fix" with long term damage, like a tourniquet not released...

I've been telling people since the last election that if they really want to win in 2020, those extra 6,000,000 voters in NY and CA should move to some swing states. Spread those 6,000,000 among other states that were close and Clinton probably would have won by a landslide!
Swing on by anytime.

Fair question, assuming ignorance was meant to be nicer than calling out willful foolishness.
