It’s not snobbery, fool. It’s called a Republic.

"...It's chosen by party insiders." I wonder how fast Reid will walk that landmine back

The Electoral College was created to prevent a heavily populated state from always choosing who would be president. It allowed two or three less populated states to block them. Can you imagine NY,CA,IL, FL, etc to always pick the president? It’s the difference between a democracy and a republic. An example would be two wolves and a sheep deciding on what’s for dinner (democracy) but in a republic the sheep would have two votes and the wolves one each.

Reid had better get down on his knees every day and thank God for the Founding Fathers. Otherwise a retarded individual such as himself could never hold office.

Yup. And I bet Harry is jealous he didn’t come up with that. LOL.
To: Kaslin
There’s no need to debate the wisdom of the electoral college in this context because it has nothing to do with nominations. The founding fathers didn’t even envision the emergence of parties let alone nominating primaries or conventions so the question of whether they were snobs or not has nothing to do with whatever it is she is talking about.
To: MayflowerMadam
Better Re-read that article. Joy said this, not Dingy Harry.

Idiot not only confuses the electoral college with political conventions, she obviously has no idea why the electoral college was created.
This is what passes for "political commentary" in 2016.
To: Kaslin
One could say the same thing about the Democrats nominating (Buying) Hillary Clinton. We’ve never had a candidate buy their nomination through paying off the Party HQ debt. Kind of like what Banana Republicans do
To: Kaslin
We are not homogeneous. We are a representative republic.
The states, if we didn’t have a two party system, would certainly be exerting their rightful power.
Senators never should have become elected. I would be all about repealing that disastrous amendment.
