You folks pining for the end of the Electoral College system might have an opportunity to do that in a few years.
Push for Convention of the States to rein in government gains steam
Based on this article, I'm rather in favor of the idea. Most of the ideas being discussed are from the right side of the fence, but if this goes forward, it might be possible to get rid of the EC.

Why do you think I keep saying that this is NOT a partisan issue?
I'll throw out some legal stuff such as the constitution allowing a new election, but at the end of the day -my- interest in this is how dangerous it is for the entire world to have a unhinged president of the US, and that could be a left or right leaning person, both would be equally dangerous.
This is why the democrats are saying stuff like "party over country", because I find it all but impossible to believe that if it were a -democrat- acting like this, the right would NOT be going batcrap crazy and saying the same things. Trump stays in because the republican party stalwarts (your oft mentioned congress-critters) see a chance to push their agenda. See how the congress is -starting- to react now when even they cannot get their agenda through while controlling -every branch of government-. When the congress critters weigh up the cost, not to you or your country, but to their own careers, you will see action. Until then, they will let any egregious mouth fart go.sigpicALL THANKS TO THE WONDERFUL CREATOR OF THIS SIG GO TO R.I.G.A lie is just a truth that hasn't gone through conversion therapy yetThe truth isn't the truth

Any calls from fellow Dems to investigate HER selling uranium,
The US sold Uranium to Russia, signed off by NINE separate organizations, plus other independent bodies, so unless you think Hillary is so good as to have her hand up over nine asses at once, don't you think she could have won the election?
or her pay to play while Sec of State??
Cool huh...............
So, find the crime, get the proof and charge away.
OR from any of the leftist media?
What I really think would have happened if Hillary won, is that at her first misstep on the level of any of trumps, especially the last week, the republican senate and republican congress would be writing up the articles of impeachment. (hell, the Flynn screw up would have been enough).
Would the same happen in the reverse situation?
Dunno, even the "lefty media" and several Democratic senators have openly said that they are not at the level of impeachment -yet- because the Russia investigation needs to go on (but they are all to the stage of special prosecutor).
Like I said, this is not a partisan issue to me, Republicans won the election according to the rules, that is not going to change. This is me considering trump to not just be "dodgy", or breaking a few rules, this is having someone who is clearly unstable being C-in-C of the most powerful, richest nation on earth with the largest and most destructive military in the recorded history of the planet.
Does that not concern you as well?sigpicALL THANKS TO THE WONDERFUL CREATOR OF THIS SIG GO TO R.I.G.A lie is just a truth that hasn't gone through conversion therapy yetThe truth isn't the truth

On the other hand, I expect the people I vote for to represent me to hold themselves to a higher standard than the Dems do.
