That is a very good analogy.

The creation of the electoral college was probably the most brilliant addition to the Constitution.

Now Obama...won by beating the electoral college mathematically...working the districts that would have the most Dem votes.....as long as they got the vote out....which is what they're good at.

He’s going to obliterate them. Why? This time the Dem candidate will not have the Obama caliphate, the FBI, the CIA, and the Attorney generals office helping them cheat. There will be no FISA warrants to spy on Trump AND on top of this he has proven himself very capable when it comes to the economy, trade and employment.

Which is why it’s important that as many people vote for Trump, even in states where it may be a lost cause.

I would guess a few million Republicans don't bother to vote in states like California.

In 2020, that needs to change.

Yes, we know the dems have 5 million illegal alien voters in Los Angeles County. Big whoop

No Clinton has ever won a majority of the popular vote. I suspect that Lincoln, who won big league in the electoral college, would not have won a majority in a run-off system, with southerners and Missourians going for Bell in a run-off or border staters and Missourians going for Breckinridge.

Woodrow Wilson (’12, ‘16), Richard Nixon (’68), Bill Clinton (’92, ‘96), JFK, George W. Bush (2000), Truman (’48) and others did not get an outright majority of the popular vote.

Why? The Presidential election is won ONLY by electoral votes. Nothing else matters.

And how many of those five million Dem voters will be legal and alive?

I don’t understand your statement. ONLY electoral votes matter. Why should everyone have to vote in their state again?

If he wins the popular vote, or loses it by tens points, makes no matter. If he wins the electoral vote again the Left WILL riot. Because they’re just freaking insane.

It’s a baseball game where the team winning the most innings wins the game. Or a series where the most games win, not the cumulative runs.

It makes sense when you understand why. But, too many folks equate elections with Dancing with The Stars.

This is why we have a Second Amendment. President Trump has nothing to fear.

The Electoral College vs the Popular Vote is just too complex for a liberal to comprehend, hence the term DummycRAT.

Most Democratic big cities have fake votes in large numbers.

Good luck getting the MSM to cover it.

Here is one recent example that got covered because the loser in the Democratic primary sued because of the vote fraud:

But it would destroy the narrative that Trump lost the popular vote, which in turns increases his leverage.
