Good day all. In about 24 hours, the Electoral College will vote and Donald J. Trump will formally become the President-Elect of the United States. When this happens, the Moonbats will once again demand the abolishing of the Electoral College, claiming that Felonia von Pantsuit, aka Hillary Rodham Clinton won the popular vote.
About that vote. With the recent attempts by Green Party candidate Jill Stein to force recounts in several states, it was determined that there was some significant election fraud in heavily Democratic districts. In some cases, ballot boxes that indicated they had 300 votes in them actually had only 50. The recounts were stopped by the courts so the fraud will be handled by the states affected.
This, of course doesn’t matter to the Democrats for Felons Felonia. They are still saying she won the popular vote and that she should be dictator president. What they don’t mention is that Felonia’s “Victory” margin came from a small number of densely populated Democrat strongholds. Without those, she would have been completely crushed. Here is what a commentary in the Investors Business Daily has to say:
Democrats who are having trouble getting out of the first stage of grief — denial — aren’t being helped by the fact that, now that all the votes are counted, Hillary Clinton’s lead in the popular vote has topped 2.8 million, giving her a 48% share of the vote compared with Trumps 46%.
To those unschooled in how the United States selects presidents, this seems totally unfair. But look more closely at the numbers and you see that Clinton’s advantage all but disappears. As we noted in this space earlier, while Clinton’s overall margin looks large and impressive, it is due to Clinton’s huge margin of victory in one state — California — where she got a whopping 4.3 million more votes than Trump.
California is the only state, in fact, where Clinton’s margin of victory was bigger than President Obama’s in 2012 — 61.5% vs. Obama’s 60%.
I wonder how many of those votes were from actual United States citizens and not illegal aliens of other not entitled to vote?
But California is the exception that proves the true genius of the Electoral College — which was designed to prevent regional candidates from dominating national elections. In recent years, California has been turning into what amounts to a one-party state. Between 2008 and 2016, the number of Californian’s who registered as Democrats climbed by 1.1 million, while the number of registered Republicans dropped by almost 400,000. What’s more, many Republicans in the state had nobody to vote for in November.
The Republican party in California is essentially dead. Since there is no actual opposition to the moonbats and progressives, California is well on it’s way to becoming a failed state. The California state government already ignores a fair part of the Constitution and is actively oppressing anyone who doesn’t toe the “Soviet” line.
There were two Democrats — and zero Republicans — running to replace Sen. Barbara Boxer. There were no Republicans on the ballot for House seats in nine of California’s congressional districts.
This is not entirely accurate. California ended the party primary system and went to an open primary system. The two top winners then move on to the general election. Since California is a single party state in everything but name, this means that the Republican party, or any other party is rendered meaningless.
Republicans knew Clinton was going to win the state — and its entire 55 electoral votes — casting a ballot for Trump was virtually meaningless, since no matter what her margin of victory, Clinton was getting all 55 votes. Is it any wonder then, that Trump got 11% fewer California votes than John McCain did in 2008? (Clinton got 6% more votes than Obama did eight years ago, but the number of registered Democrats in the state climbed by 13% over those years.)
And now comes the money shot.
If you take California out of the popular vote equation, then Trump wins the rest of the country by 1.4 million votes. And if California voted like every other Democratic state — where Clinton averaged 53.5% wins — Clinton and Trump end up in a virtual popular vote tie.
The column doesn’t take into account other states like New York. Felonia won New York, however she didn’t do well in areas outside of New York City. If you removed NYC, she probably would have lost the state. There are maps indicating which counties supported von Pantsuit and which supported Trump. These maps are a sea of Red, (Indicating Republican), with a few Blue, (Indicating communist Democrat), regions. These regions coincide with the most densely populated counties in the country, and those are almost all controlled by the Democrat party.
If the presidency were actually chosen by popular vote, then the high population centers would be the only place candidates would go to campaign, and since these areas are generally controlled by the Democrats, the winner would always be a Democrat. This would effectively disenfranchise most of the country.
This is where the Democrats show their blind spots. As we have seen, they hold anyone that doesn’t support the Progressive Liberal viewpoint to be evil and that the power of the state should crush them. They will not brook any dissent. The founders of the United States understood that rule by the majority would quickly devolve into chaos and in all probability, civil war. This is why they created these United States as a representative form of democracy, where the local voters select their representatives.
The Electoral College was designed to protect the rights of the small states and minorities from the majority voters. Instead of candidates campaigning in just a few areas, they would be forced to campaign across the nation. This has worked out fairly well for over 200 years. Until the Democrats learn what the founders understood, that pure democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what’s for dinner, they will become more and more irrelevant in National Politics, and slowly be reduced to a regional, then local political party. Considering that they’ve learned nothing after the last few elections, I suspect that they will go the way of the Whig party.
