Hillary Clinton, shut up! Has this country not made it clear enough to you that we want no more of your politics? You are an ancient relic of a failed Democratic era! The world is wise to your lies and tricks. Enough is enough! Your retirement is long overdue. If you have the tiniest shred of self-respect or decency left, you will fade from public life entirely.
Talk of Hillary Clinton always leads to the same old, tired, stupid argument. Here’s the easiest way to understand the Electoral College. If New Mexico had to run on California water laws, 2 million people would die. The end. Thankfully for those 2 million people, California has no real say in New Mexico water regulation. This is the importance of the Electoral College. The President of the United States has to represent the entire population.
Here’s another way to look at it. The House is decided entirely by popularity. California gets the most representation because they have the most people. The Senate is split entirely by regions. Every state gets two votes no matter what. The President sits right in between those extremes. The Electoral College is a compromise between popular and regional representation. That’s important because he is the president of every person and every region.
This is basic civics, and the founding fathers created the college for the exact type of scenario that led to Trump’s victory. Yet, the left still rails against it. You can see a self-proclaimed leftist completely fail to grasp the concept in this video. As for Hillary Clinton, maybe if we ignore her she’ll go away.
