This is the way it is done…..if you do not like the law, then change the law.


This is the way it is done…..if you do not like the law, then change the law.

As we get closer to 2020, the left is ramping up all of their efforts to delegitimize the United States.  The story below is one that is pretty much buried in the news….but has HUGE impacts on our nation AS a nation under the Constitution.


I have exhausted myself trying to win the argument FOR the electoral college…but in simple terms, if you want your state to be governmental shithole that is New York, California, New Jersey, or Illinois, you want to kill the electoral college.  If you want a republic….save the Electoral College…..because that is the ONLY thing between us and the tyranny of the left.

Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., introduced a pair of constitutional amendments to eliminate the Electoral College, saying it was "outdated."   “Americans expect and deserve the winner of the popular vote to win office,” Cohen said at the time. “More than a century ago, we amended our Constitution to provide for the direct election of U.S. Senators. It is past time to directly elect our president and vice president.”

Cohens’ comment and proposal is a monstrous affront to the idea of America.  The seventeenth amendment to the US Constitution was the largest Constitutional tragedy of the 1900’s.  The Constitution provided for the House of Representatives to represent the people of the individual states.  The Senate members were to represent the state itself….the interests of that state.  Any state could chose its’ individual senators in pretty much any way it wanted; the 17th amendment, making it a REQUIREMENT that states popularly elect its’ senators, eliminated the ability of the states to have representation (and, coincidentally, helped make the courts the final arbiter of state issues).  Americans SHOULD NOT expect and deserve the winner of the popular vote to win office….the Constitution SPECIFICALLY included the Electoral College to PREVENT that.  Granted….the winner of the popular vote usually DOES win the electoral college…..but not always.  In 1876, 1888, 2000, and 2016 the popular vote winner did not win the electoral college vote.  In 1876 Republican Rutherford Hayes defeated Samuel Tilden.  In 1888 Republican Benjamin Harrison defeated Democrat Grover Cleveland.  In 2000 George W. Bush defeated Democrat Al Gore, and in 2016 Republican Donald Trump defeated the wicked witch of the left, Hillary Clinton.

You see the pattern here, right?  The left is all about the process until the people don’t comply with the lefts views.  In 2016, almost the entirety of the vaunted “three million” votes Clinton claimed over Trump, came from California; and in that state you have no idea how many of those votes were from citizens.  With everything you know about California…..do you want those people choosing the leader of the free world?

Principles do not become “outdated”, which is why principles are the basis for all beliefs.  The lefts only principle, or at least the base principle, is power……and the Constitution and its’ Electoral College prevent the left from absolute power.  The Constitution is not outdated, the law is not outdated, the Electoral College is not out dated…..

….the democrat party, however…….

  1. It's ironic and hypocritical. If the 2016 election had gone the other way, that being Trump winning the popular vote but Hillary winning the electoral vote, the same Dems trying to abolish the electoral vote now would be singing the praises of the system! Everyone knows that.
