Big review set by Democrats after election losses

The two Fagbammy victories have convinced the Dumbocraps they can win presidential elections. What they didn't take into consideration were the opponents they beat:

John McCain, worst nominee ever
Mitch Romney, father of Romneycare and Conservative foe.

[Obadiah]

Guaranteed, here is what the report will say:

We did a poor job of getting our message out.

OR,

Republicans did a better job of getting their message out.

[Traveler59]

I really hope the republican strategist are also reviewing what went wrong and what went right, and the “why” and “how” to go along with it. Otherwise this midterm election celebration will be over in two years.

LOL!

[SaraJohnson]

This will be known as the “how can we fool ‘em next” meeting.

I think all politicians ought to examine the DC mental illness called “we’ve outgrown the constitution.”

[Billthedrill]

It's apparent that there are increasingly two separate electorates: a midterm electorate and a presidential electorate.

There aren't really two separate electorates. However, the election of a President may be accomplished by ignoring much of the one that there is and concentrating efforts on heavily populated urban areas. This will be exacerbated by the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, wherein a candidate that wins, say, Delaware, will find his state's electoral votes given to the winner of the popular vote in states in which he or she does not reside. It is an idea particularly popular with Democrats.

This was not a "mistake" on the part of the Founders, they knew they wouldn't have a country if New York's popular vote made law in Georgia and to hell with the Georgians. The Georgians had to agree to ratify the Constitution, and so their rights and sovereignty had to be respected.

When that becomes no longer the case, the very same issue will crop up just as it did in 1787. Only an idiot intent on totalitarian rule would fail to recognize this.

[Publius]

With the Republicans now in charge of so many state legislatures, I would expect a lot of states that had voted to enter that compact to vote to leave it.

[Billthedrill]

Oh, they've thought of that.

Any member state may withdraw from this agreement, except that a withdrawal occurring six months or less before the end of a President’s term shall not become effective until a President or Vice President shall have been qualified to serve the next term.

The difficulty is that this compact has no force of law, and so it's just hot air, at least at the moment.

Perhaps not coincidentally, the enthusiasm for this thing tends to be among those people who support a heavily executive Presidency. In short, they want to elect a king.

[Publius]

Congress has to approve all interstate compacts, and Congress hasn’t approved this. Nor will it, at least as of January 3, 2015.

[oldbill]

Have Reince Priebus write an autopsy for them.

[Billthedrill]

Precisely. As I said, no force of law. And I suspect voluntary obedience is likely to founder when someone like Delaware does go Republican and finds its electoral votes placed elsewhere because New York had decided differently. It will not be pleasant at that point but the President will have been elected in the meantime.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Start with the Chief Narcissist of the United States. He lives on Pennsylvania Avenue somewhere...

Dear Dems,

Here is your Review Sheet for our big “Election 2014 Review”. Study it at length and try to remember all the pertinent points:

DEM REVIEW SHEET:

“Our Marxist, Racist, morally-bankrupt Policies SUCK and the American people aren’t buying into them anymore”.

Respectfully submitted,
