your point doesn't make a strong case or any case for a mandate eitherWords are important. Everyone who knows me knows to pay attention to what I say and what I do not say.

As you wish. Republicans have been voted into office across all levels of government in numbers larger than ever in recent memory. Interpret that as Dem ascendancy if you like.your point doesn't make a strong case or any case for a mandate either
i don't interpret that as anything.As you wish. Republicans have been voted into office across all levels of government in numbers larger than ever in recent memory. Interpret that as Dem ascendancy if you like.
Of course I can't vouch for your ability to understand basic facts and data. I guess Walker County remains a liability for you.i don't interpret that as anything.
i have no idea what you are talking about, but i guess it is some attempt at an insult.Of course I can't vouch for your ability to understand basic facts and data. I guess Walker County remains a liability for you.
It describes the structural point I was making earlier, only better researched and presented.Thanks...good read.
It also describes why I think the EC is a valuable structure to maintain for centuries going forward.It describes the structural point I was making earlier, only better researched and presented.
Specifically, why is this?It also describes why I think the EC is a valuable structure to maintain for centuries going forward.
It confrms all the reasons cited thus far.Specifically, why is this?
How dare he insult those of us who live or have loved in WINSTON county. :biggrin:i have no idea what you are talking about, but i guess it is some attempt at an insult.
Potato, potahtoHow dare he insult those of us who live or have loved in WINSTON county. :biggrin:

I hear ya. Until this year I had done more world wide travel (in Asia especially) than our own country. This summer I drove from Double Springs to Baltimore & then to Morgantown, WV in one day (18 hours of driving; to Johns Hopkins hospital to visit a church member; then to WV for a wedding). One thing I noticed is that quite a bit of Virginia, Maryland, and especially WV is not unlike Winston/Walker county. There's redneck everywhere [emoji3].Potato, potahto
I find that irrelevant in view of the fact that the EC has once again delivered us a minority president, and, it appears, a multi-million vote minority president. You applaud it because your guy won, which, in my view, is short-sighted. It goes to the legitimacy of the executive branch. People from parliamentary countries find it incomprehensible...Gaining 2 seats from states you are expected to win is not something to celebrate. Losing other senate contests you should have won just compounds the issue.
the only good things that came out of walker county were 5 and 195 northHow dare he insult those of us who live or have loved in WINSTON county. :biggrin:

To eb fair, people from parliamentary countries find lots of things about the US incomprehensible. That's certainly no reason for me to lose any sleep over it.People from parliamentary countries find it incomprehensible...
When was the last time a Dem won the EC while losing the popular vote?I'll just point out again that if Trump had won the popular vote and HRC the EC, none of the Dems would be clamoring to eliminate or alter the EC.
Doesn't matter. CA's point is still trueWhen was the last time a Dem won the EC while losing the popular vote?
But people in parliamentary governments aren't designed like us. So they can find it incomprehensible all they want.I find that irrelevant in view of the fact that the EC has once again delivered us a minority president, and, it appears, a multi-million vote minority president.

No, it does matter. In the history of this nation, a Democrat has never won the EC while losing the popular vote. In contrast, the system has benefited a Republican 5 of 6 times in our history. And that 6th example (Adams in 1824) benefited the direct political precursor to the Republican party.Doesn't matter. CA's point is still true
