Now Bernie had a chance, but he chose to run as a Democrat. C'est la vie. I agree it is rigged but that will never change unless the system is challenged, Twenty years ago, the odds would have been very high that a black or a woman would never get the nomination. |

You can challenge the system all you want, but unless and until the EC is trashed, nothing much will happen, other than, perhaps throwing a future election into the U.S. House, which should **** off voters big time. It is really only "big state" (population) people who want to abolish the EC. Smaller states see it as their only way to have a voice. If you think the EC is biased against the big states, look at the procedure if this gets to the house. There are 50 votes (maybe 51 with the 23d amendment) and each "state" gets one. DC will not swing that vote, even if they do allow them in but it could easily be argued, their delegation does not get to vote in the house so they don't get to vote in the selection process. |

I'm not interested in bias, as you describe it, I'm interested in seeing the candidate with the most votes win. I am not a favor of states' rights. |

Not Florida's fault you broke the rules and had to forfeit your house. |

The federal government was never supposed to be all empowered. The President was the states choice. How they chose their candidate was up to the state legislatures. |

Too bad the founders were interested in the rights of the states. This is where the democrats start not giving a **** about the minority I guess. I suppose it is because their mass resides in a dozen big cities and they like the feudal system. |
