The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy.

Gave us the worst US POTUS in at least 150 Years in W, and now gave us him, over candidates that actually won the Popular Vote.
Not sure how I felt about the EC, but Drumpf makes a great point. Might be time to re-examine?

How do you know Trump will be a bad President? He hasnt even been sworn in yet....

Maybe too early to make that statement, and you should see whats going on at least 2 years from now?

I don't. I do know that W was the worst POTUS probably ever, and he lost the popular vote, which is Drumpf's point, and mine about re-examining the Electoral College.

If Drumpf follows through on some of his onerous Policy pronouncements from when he was running, like a Muslim Ban, Severe Tax Cuts on the Rich, Breaking up Immigrant Families, Bowing down To Russia, allowing Iran to again Develop Nuclear Weapons, and encouraging other Nations to develop them, ignoring NATO Obligations, ending Women's rights to control their Bodies, etc., he will be in the running. Hopefully he will revert back to his more moderate, NY Values, Democratic roots when actually governing, and avoid that fate. We'll see. More than any incoming POTUS in maybe forever, no one really knows how he will govern, compared to how he ran.

Tax cuts are what we need, and tax cuts are for sure what we will get. Tax cuts increase tax revenue. That last Democrat to get this simple concept was JFK.

The Country has been it's most productive, when the top tax rate is 50% or higher, and the Rich are taxed fairly to help the Country that allows them to achieve such wealth. Middle class Tax cuts? Sure. Simplification? Sure. But Top rates are already too low in the 30's. They need to be higher, to fund the large infrastructure renewal Drump proposes, and which I'm all for.
JFK didn't cut tax rates, and the top tax rate under him was 89%(which is too high, IMO). http://www.usnews.com/opinion/articles/2011/01/26/the-myth-of-jfk-as-supply-side-tax-cutter

That's nonsense. The higher the tax rates, the more jobs that are stolen away by the gov't. The more profit they are allowed to keep, the more they can build their business and create more jobs. Besides, what the hell is fair about one person paying more than another person. Pay your fair share, my ass. And I'm not even close to being considered rich.

JFK was conservative and would have gotten a lot of shit done, had they not murdered him. And yes, I said they.

You are mixing up personal tax rates and corporate rates. I am not for raising Corporate tax rates. Just closing loopholes, rewarding domestic investment and expanding domestic jobs, penalizing foreign investment and outsourcing, etc.

The Electoral College was a GENIUS move by our Founding Fathers. I cringe when people say to get rid of it. Shows they just don't get it and yes that includes Trump.

Not sure what the answer is. You definitely do not want a few cities controlling who is President every year which means you do definitely do no want to use popular vote. That would be a disaster for a country of States. But the current problem with the Electoral college as it is currently formed is that it always comes down to the same States getting all the attention .. Ohio and Florida. So it is definitely flawed in that regard. If you look at a county by county or district by district map, the entire map was red. Yet she won the popular vote because of the little blue dots that represent population centers.

I can understand both sides of the coin. I guess i will defer to the founders though. They seemed to get a lot right.

Was going to be the worst either way.
And even that might be debatable with one leaving office now.

Give all congressional districts 1 EV.

The system we have now works fine.

I am also in support of people on welfare should not get a vote. They shouldnt have any say so on what goes on if they are dependent on the government

She probably didn't win the popular vote anyway if you figure in the rigged ballots...

he won 32 states, she won 18 states. how is that bad again? cali new york and illinois won her the popular vote, but the overwhelming majority of the states voted him to win. this is the end of the argument.

So you'd prefer (in the stead of Electoral College) to let California and The Inner City minorities decide who gets elected and thus, sets policy for your country?

Dagone, that is genuinely terrifying.

And that came too close to happening here, in this election.

Rural America, The Rust Belt and True American Patriots saved our ass here.

Pinch yourself bro......It really happened Guesser.

She conceded to a businessman Guesser.

She`s a 2 time loser Guesser.

President Trump.....Deal with it Guesser.

The popular vote cop-out....LMAO

That. Democracy Partners and the other 'Hit Squads' that DNC and Camp BroomHillary employed to steal this election accomplished FAIL to a previously unseen degree.

They managed to somehow allow themselves to be recorded, admitting their activities: Organizing violence at Trump Rallies that included actions which saw Police Injured and Police Horse hit with rocks.

Even including revelation that they paid Rioters to take part in and encourage Violence in Baltimore and Ferguson also.

Then, to top off like a Cherry on a Sundae or a Devil placed atop a Blackmass Tree they managed to fail at stealing the election altogether.

Saved Our Ass Bigtime this time. I know folks think I'm a Nut but I swear having her in with her Indebtedness to The Saudi Royal Family and other Islamic Terror Groups could easily have led to terrible terrible things here.

God Bless America.
