Well, that flew WAY over your head, Flagpole.
The electoral college as it is used today is not used as it was intended.
The original intent (and current law) was for the voters to elect electors.
And the electors would then vote on the president.
They didn't really trust the common people to directly elect the president.
How it is used to day is that voters vote in each state.
And in almost every state, the popular vote in that state determines the winner of that state. All of that state's electoral votes go to the candidate with the most votes, regardless of margin.
(two small states chose to split their electoral votes)
The most popular feature of this method is that we can usually determine the president elect on the same day of the election.
Give CA, TX, NY AL, etc all of it's electoral votes quickly and wait for the totals of the close states which can normally be determined before people wake up the next day.
If we had a national popular vote, it would take weeks to announce the winner.
TV news shows would hate that.

HRC lost based on the rules of the time. If the rules were different, Trump probably still would have won.
It's time for you guys to move on. It's not 2016.

Whew! Another awesome month in the books for POTUS45!
Once again, the conspiracy against a presidential campaign and subsequent presidency was further exposed. Former FBI chief legal counsel, James Baker, delivered testimony to the Joint House Committee in the ongoing investigation of corrupt FISA processes and “spy-gate”. Congressional investigators confirmed that a top FBI official met with DNC lawyers to talk about allegations of Donald Trump-Russia collusion weeks before the 2016 election (before the bureau secured a search warrant targeting Trump’s campaign). Baker himself met with at least one attorney from Perkins Coie, the DNC's private law firm. The fact that FBI officials were meeting with lawyers representing the interests of one presidential candidate to frame investigative material against the other candidate is outrageous. As usual, more to come here.
Two more FBI agents left the Mueller team early in the month. Hmm. Also a report from multiple outlets that the Special Counsel will likely issue their report not long after midterms. Several sources and outlets begin to report that enemies of Trump should lower their expectations. The writing is on the wall here. Major Flagpole coming for a few folks here on LRC.
Kavanaugh. Ohhh, Kavanaugh. What a ride it was! Despite zero evidence and zero corroborating witnesses, the confirmation theatrics pushed the vote until after an FBI investigation.....which wrapped up well ahead of schedule (kind of a "please stop wasting our time here").
Oh my god. The Warren-Native American thing. Absolutely hilarious. And yet, mindboggingly stupid. In what was clearly supposed to be a big "gotcha" to Trump, Warren touts the results of a DNA test that show evidence of possible Native American ancestry. That's the headline at 10:00am that day. Couple hours later, the 1/64-1/1024 facts come out, and the tide begins to turn. A couple hours after that, the leader of Cherokee Nation makes a statement to Warren that the DNA test is a joke and that she should stop this whole claim. By dinner time that very day, Trump was again calling her Pocahontas in his tweets. Amazing how fast this one failed.
The immigrant caravan and bomb threats are both setups in my opinion, with the GOP actually being behind the caravan, and the Dems behind the bomb threats. I just don't believe either one naturally took place. I'm sorry, but anything occurring in the October leading up to a contentious election is not to be believed.
Like I said, October proved to be yet another wild ride in the new culture of outrage and despair. But rules are rules, and another month must be added to Flagpole's EPIC Flagpole streak.
Mueller will not be coming.
The clown steadfastly remains Flagpole.
Current status of Flagpole's Flagpole Streak: 33+ months
Seriously, it's kind of depressing to think that his streak has gone on this long. Not because of he's been so wrong for so long, or continually makes a fool of himself here, but because it makes you realize how fast time is flying by.
Life is short folks, don't spend as much time as Flagpole/LL/Troll/Fat do on messageboards. You'll regret it on your deathbed.

Haha! Actually it will say, "Rigged was right all along"
A yuge M A GA member of Derp party of tRump did not know that G. W. Bush was a republican. Further proving the Trumpers are not republicans. They are derp party of tRump.
For David Stewart, 66, a retired teacher, that means a world in which “taxes and unemployment would go through the roof, the economy would collapse, there would be riots for food and water”. Racial tensions would be inflamed by Democrats seeking to “break the political system”.
Why would they want to do that?
“They want power. Look it up. President Bush said if you put the blacks on welfare they will vote Democratic for the rest of their lives.”
But Bush was a Republican.
Stewart pauses. Then he says: “I don’t remember.”

Your "liberal" media at work:
Dirty, loud liberals are generally kept off the airwaves because they'll make the conservatives look stupid and then you'll never get them back on the air for your precious point-counterpoint, politics-as-a-sporting-event TV show. So instead, you construct panels that are limited to journalists and ideological conservatives, thus fostering the notion that journalists represent the "left" point of view and allowing conservative pundits peddle their bullsh*t without significant resistance at the same time.
This has been going on forever and I think it has been a much bigger contributor to the Democratic Party's woes than a lot of people realize.

Mueller is coming.
The clown is done.
Until a day ago, you never said that Trump would convicted after 2024. Prove it. Show us the old posts. If you can show proof, then I will concede the point.
Otherwise:
Mueller never
Clownpole forever
I actually have said more than once that because Mueller likely will not indict (indict, not convict...get your words straight) while he is a sitting President but that he might do so after he is out of office. ALSO, I never said anything about 2024 (or actually 2025...get your dates straight) either in the past or this time either. I have said I believe he will be ousted before the end of his term, so that would be before ~January 20, 2021 so get your facts straight.
So, you need to work on:
Getting your words straight
Getting your dates straight
Getting your facts straight
While you are getting all those things straight, perhaps you should work on reading comprehension.

It is there somewhere in this thread. I have no need to go find the few times I have been in discussion with others here about how Mueller likely won't indict a sitting President because I have no need to prove anything to any of you. Go find it yourself if you want to know. I would search for "sitting" and then look for posts from me. But, I have better things to do. So, CAN but don't want to.
glacial, but behind the scenes, a very bad day is approaching Trump
here's just one of the many ways he will be destroyed - the emoluments clause case is going to discovery. Mueller and the Dem majority in the House will be very happy to get info on who is doing business with Trump, unconstitutionally.

Just one of many things he's in trouble for. He's got so many things coming at him that I left off Emoluments Clause violation in my last list of things he will be shown to have done.
This is all deserved. A life of crime followed by a stint as President makes this all happen. He never should have run for president. He should have just continued to live his lavish lifestyle off borrowed money and let his children inherit next to nothing.

No way. He will not win a second term if he indeed can run and does run.
Wait, how can he run, you said he's getting impeached?
Wait, you said he won't win, guaranteed, then you blamed it on Facebook, LOL!!!!
Here ya go boy, listen and learn. It's going to happen (kinda like you on the left think just the opposite).
Go Trump!!!! Hillary, like Flagpole, are the evil ones!!!!
