‘BERNIE HAS HIS RETIREMENT FUND ALL SET’..
My thoughts also...the Foundation set him up an off shore acct. to well take care of him and his entire family...
Go for it. ;)
You Got Berned!
Come over to the Trump side. We have cookies.
I think you’re a bit confused. It’s been almost two centuries since we had a POTUS who was NOT chosen by the Electoral College. Getting a majority of the votes in the Electoral College is the normal way that one is elected.
A third party winning a handful of states might result in a failure of any candidate to get a majority in the EC. In that case, the President is selected from the top two finishers in the EC voting by the House of Representatives with each state’s delegation getting one vote. The Senate would elect a Vice President in that case.
This is not secretive, nor is the Electoral College. It’s all right there in the Constitution — Aricle 2. Nothing secretive about it.
Wow. Is this story accurate? If it is, this is not good for Clinton.
So half of the people walked out on Hillary?
Sanders was paid his retirement money by the Clintons.
He just did what commies always do, stab to people in the back. The when the Bolsheviks finally got the reigns of power quickly sent the students and intellectuals to the wall.
I'm not at all confused about the process.....or the potential for mischief.
LOL...cookies!
I’ve noticed that Bobble head Hillary is everywhere
Bernie was nothing more than Hillary's sparring partner. Problem was that Hillary had/has a glass jaw. Everytime Bernie tapped her she'd go down for a standing eight.
They were hoping for a Sanders VP announcement which could still happen.
That would be Dr. Jill Stein these days.
LOL
I wish that wasn’t a metaphor.
With respect, you are confused. EVERY SINGLE PRESIDENT since John Quincy Adams has been elected by the “secretive” process you have expressed such concern about. Every one, good and bad, Reagan, Carter, Clinton, Ike, Fdr, both Bushes, Lincoln, Buchanon, all of them and more have been elected by the Electoral College because that’s the primary mechanism given by the Constitution for electing Presidents and it hasn’t failed in almost two centuries. The closest it came to fwiling was 1876 when Hayes arguably was able to steal the election from Tilden because several states in the South submitted competing electoral votes, one set for each candidate. After a lot of political dealing, though the EC still ended up deciding the election.
I can see the concern about neither candidate gaining a majority of EC votes and throwing the election to Congress. That could tirn into a mess, but that’s where your concern should lie then, not with the system we’ve used without fail for almost two humdred years
The naive among them expected him to go pirate, or Edward G. Robinson:
“Top of the world, ma!”
