Considering that the President is elected by the electoral college which needs to be done away with, I am sure they would find a way to elect someone even without an election, possibly.

  Now this is something I can agree with you completely.   :yes: :yes: :yes:  DO AWAY WITH THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.  :yes: :yes: :yes:  Here in Indiana my Democratic vote is never counted in the final total of who get to be president.   :yes: :yes:  Also this is why we get dumbasses like Mike Pence.  My god :preach: :pray: :ghost:, he's such a fool and liar.   :liar2: :liar2: :liar2: :liar2: :liar2: :liar2:

I have always thought the electoral college was rigged and should have been done away. Let's go with the popular vote and be done with it.

If we had a democracy and everyone's vote counted, you'd expect people to vote.  But when the Electoral college picks a candidate that didn't get the popular vote, we have to admit we don't really have a democracy anymore.....we have an oligarchy.

No, voting for the criminal family of Clinton is wrong.  They removed Glass Steagal...do you think they won't allow the bankers/investors another bailout? She already said she would bail them out...YUGE signal to go ahead and be reckless.

The right wing whack jobs have already repeated this here about a million times and it still hasn't made it true.   :rolleyes:
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

Well, the liberal online magazines have shown enough evidence for me to believe it.  AND she lied to Congress, another impeachable offense for which Trey Gowdy is now being attacked for thinking of doing it.

At some point, when you are surrounded by so much crime in connection with your actions, you are guilty.  At least the average person is.

She must be the best criminal in the history of mankind considering they've been hounding her for almost 30 years and spent $500 million on investigations and still haven't managed to come up with anything.

No, like Bush whom you showed ended up "losing" emails, she is supported by the mega rich to be ABOVE crime. Vote for Trump..at least we can impeach him. Clinton is controlled and protected by the same world uber rich as Bush was.

America was NEVER intended to be a pure democracy.  The founders were scared to death of government by the uneducated masses.

If those of you who are against the democratic republic the founders created and the Electoral College, this election should open your eyes and not only give you pause, but scare you to death.

Do you really want people like the Drumpf supporters to have free reign to bypass the fail safe of the Electoral College and directly put unstable, authoritarian, psychopathic, wanna' be banana republic dictators into office?

The entire point of the Electoral College is to prevent such a threat from swaying the masses with propaganda and rhetoric and gaining the keys to power and destroying the country.

I know there are some psychos who don't GAS, but intelligent folks should surely reconsider their position.

BTW, it's hilarious to see that there are psychos who, as they slip deeper into their psychosis with age, become hypocrites and let their true political persuasions out.
