Like it or not, the Electoral College is functioning exactly as the
founding fathers intended: It keeps the large population centers from
dominating the executive branch. You may not like the middle of the
country but the people who live ther are entitled to have a say in
things.

Trump would agree with you

The EC functions as it did when this was a small, compact country with
an equally small population. I can't think of another "modern" country
where the head of government is selected by other than who gets the most
votes. I also don't think sparsely populated states should have the same
number of U.S. Senators as California, Texas, Florida, New York, et
cetera. There's no reason why the vote of an individual in North Dakota
should have the same number of U.S. Senators to access as an individual
in Texas.

===

Actually there is a reason - it ensures that all regions of the
country are represented equally - exactly as intended.


Actually, all the EC does is represent real estate, not people.

The people do not elect the President. The people elect their Senators and
Congressmen. The state governing body chooses the electors. The state can
choose how they select the electors. The electors in most states, do not
have to vote for their candidate. California electors only have to vote
for their candidate on the first two ballots. After that they are free to
choose. For someone who claims a better education than any other here, you
are sorely lacking in practical knowledge.


I find Fat Harry lacking in a lot of ways.

Fat Harry thinks he has a better way. If we followed his advice we could be
as successful as he is.

And that is what it was intended to do.

Trump's problem is that he alienated too many people in the middle of
the country with his boorish and infantile behavior. It took them a
while to figue him out however.

Seems like a sizeable number in here not only like that boorish and infantile behaviour but embrace it.

His mouth and the liberal media cost him the election. Biden has a nice mouth
and the liberal media. That'll cost the country.

Trump's lawyers in his cases to "overturn" election results are getting
their asses kicked by lawyers who are not impressed by the arguments and
lack of evidence being presented. I think Trump is running scared...his
protection from federal criminal indictments ends 20 January and of
course the states are free to pursue him, as they are. I presume Trump
can resign a couple of days early and have Pence pardon him of any or
all federal crimes, as Gerry Ford did for Nixon, but that's no defense
against state charges. Oh, and if Trump, after being tossed out on the
curb, tries to sell any secret or classified info to raise cash, he can
be charged and prosecuted for treason.

Last photos I saw of Trump showed him without his orange makeup and hair
dye. I got a haircut last week and asked the lady doing the cutting how
long she thought it took each day for Trump to have his remaining hair
combed over and sprayed, and his makeup applied, and she said "about an
hour."

Crikey. Herring's president at work, eh? They deserve each other.

That seems like an odd thing to say. Trump's "mouth" and his behavior
are one and the same. Media reported the behavior for all to see, all
the media.

I don't see much so called "liberal media" in Arizona or Georgia. What
happened there?
