The Looney Left Report
We're now in a new year and the Democrats now have control over the U.S. House of Representatives.
Although we're in a new year, the Democrats haven't changed. They are loony as ever.
And now, the first Looney Left Report for 2019.
The Blaze reported:
On the House Democrats' first day in the majority, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn) introduced a constitutional amendment that would abolish Electoral College.
"Americans expect and deserve the winner of the popular vote to win office," said Cohen. "More than a century ago, we amended our Constitution to provide for the direct election of U.S. Senators. It is past time to directly elect our President and Vice President."
This is a terrible idea. The Electoral College was devised by the founders as a protection for smaller states from the tyranny of bigger states in presidential elections.
As Breitbart posted:
Anyway, eliminating the electoral college is the road to tyranny — which is why Democrats and the media desperately want it eliminated.
Trust me, the last place any free person wants to live is in a country where 51 percent of the population can strip the rights away from the 49 percent.
Imagine a country where the only way to get elected president is to appeal to the left-wing extremists who live in large population centers, which is exactly what would happen. In fact this would be the only way to win the presidency because it would be the easiest — the cheapest as far as ad buys, getting out the vote, and that most precious commodity of all: time. Campaigns are going to go to where the most votes are.
Because of the careful way it was set up, the electoral college helps to protect that most important right of all — the right of the minority. By “minority,” I don’t mean racial minority, but those states with minority populations. To cobble together the 270 electoral votes required to win the presidency, candidates are forced to appeal to a broad coalition of states, including states with small populations (Maine, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Nevada, Iowa, Nevada, etc.)The Electoral College is what's preventing Commiefornia and New York from deciding on who is put into the White House. They were only reason Hillary Clinton received more votes than Donald Trump in 2016.
