MDC 5,896 Posted September 7, 2018 When popular vote matters, the Republicans will run a campaign with that in mind. Until then, keep whining like a little b!tch about the rules.

Seriously, though, would you admit that you royally up? That's why she's blaming everyone else and not taking any responsibility for her loss. She's an arrogant, entitled c#nt.

Mike Honcho 4,039 Posted September 7, 2018 Says the sore losers. Funny how no liberals were complaining about it when Democrats were winning. The electoral college is a relic. It's time to let the people choose the president - The Guardian, 2011 It's Time To Abolish The Electoral College - Forbes 2012 Is the Electoral College Obsolete?

Hardcore troubadour 12,667 Posted September 7, 2018 So abolishing the electoral college would require a constitutional amendment. Good luck with that. 2/3 rds of the states. Be lucky to get 10. Just keep bringing in South Americans and Muslims and the democrats can get power back at the polls. And rule over what was once a great civilization reduced to catering to people who still crap in the street. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KSB2424 3,083 Posted September 7, 2018 Lets all step away from who and what were talking about. Breathe. Lets put our common sense, normal hats on. Cant we all agree that an anonymous opinion piece in the paper about a team/administration/company is weak and should be frowned upon? Were sports fans. This would be like a WR anonymously trashing his QB to the media. Either be a man and say it publicly, or figure it out in the locker room. If this person really feels this way, RESIGN, and come out and speak out why you did. Id respect that. But this anonymous insider op-ed? Does it get anymore weak an that? Be a focking man / woman and stand up...be heard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vince44 202 Posted September 7, 2018 Colbert played six different clips of Pence using the word "lodestar" in the last two years in various speeches. And that was one of the key words used in the NYT OP-ED. He might have slipped up in writing this since the word is commonly used...by only him. Good work, Pence.
