Democrats want to change the rules because they aren’t winning anymore

In recent days, Democrats have been trampling all over each other to get to a microphone to trumpet massive structural changes to American public life.

First, several presidential candidates are calling for an increase in the size of the Supreme Court. Nine justices are too few, apparently. In a proposal that seems straight out of the writers’ room at “The West Wing,” Beto O’Rourke wants the court apportioned by party, with five Democrats and five Republicans, and an extra five chosen by the 10 partisan ones.

Meanwhile, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has endorsed a proposal to lower the federal voting age to 16 (an idea already being contemplated at the local level in Oregon and the District of Columbia, and gathering steam in California).

Oh, and a great many Democrats want to abolish the Electoral College. This is nothing new for modern Democrats, who feel the Electoral College makes it too hard for them to win the presidency. But there’s never been serious practical discussion of it because it’s pointless to advocate it — 38 states would have to vote to agree to it for the amendment to pass, and as such a move would weaken the political power of small states, that will never happen.

My prediction is unless the Republican find a way to stop voter harvesting, illegal aliens voting and states giving their electoral college votes to the winner of the popular vote they will lose House, Senate and Presidency.

Partner, President Trump is so far taking the rug right under the traitorous, lying, & back stabbing MSM and stealing all the headlines. The U.S. Economy is getting better and better and by next year we should be really humming. The MSM and the DemonRat party can only Lie, Steal, Cheat, Back Stab, or Commit Treasonous behavior to win this next Presidential election in 2020.

President Trump has stolen the playbook by another great POTUS who won in a Historic Landslide victory "President Ronald Wilson Reagan in 1984"

“He does have a second pick... the cockroach Dems simply haven’t made it public that RBG has been on ice for the past 3 months.”

Second pick? Try third.

Dems mining for votes wherever they can get them. They can’t win in a clean system.

...change the rules the way my son did, at 6 years old, when he was inventing a game with his little friends to make sure he was always winning.

I agree, most won’t grow up. Look at their geriatric leadership. Selfish as as a child can be. They just want power for themselves, and they try to dress up the laws they pass as compassion, nothing about what is best for the nation.

It’s just amazing that anyone would buy it! And the simpletons just eat it up.

Then there’s the Republicans. They want the power, and then they just sit on it and do nothing.
