What a great legacy for Donald Trump: turning Texas blue and eliminating the electoral college for starters.

Quote:
On Tuesday, Democrats took control of state legislatures and governorships in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Nevada, all states that haven't agreed to the compact. If all five vote to join, then the total number of electoral votes apportioned based on the national popular vote jumps to 283.


Hopefully SCOTUS holds the line here.

Voters won't stand for having their state elections effectively reversed by a nat'l popular vote. It makes no sense to do this.

Therefore the dems will do it.

Sadly, a lot of voters probably aren't even aware that this is a possibility.

Do you think the majority of voters in this country "know" anything other than Trump and the R's are fascists?
Voter IQ is scraping the bottom of the barrel these days. All by design of course.

it really won't we long passed the point where a republican will win the popular vote. Trump was an exception and there are no more exceptions like that. Not Vance, not Desantis, not the little rubio.

add in the 10-20 million third world garbage the left is about give free entry and the numbers are permanently cooked.

All part of their plan to secure permanent Dem control of this country. Dems bellyache and use words like "disenfranchisement" when talking about voter ID but something like this electoral college compact is OK to them.

If SCOTUS does somehow stop it, if they get a Dem POTUS in 2028 they'll add 6 to 8 justices to the SCOTUS and have it reversed.

Heard the same thing when Obama won, that Republicans would never win another national election again. Now it's the fault of the Republicans who won that they can't win ever again. The goalposts keep moving.

SCOTOS should have no say in teh filibuster as that is a senate rule to make.

they CAN have a say in the interstate compact via:
1. Concerns over agreements that bypass federal authority
2. The disenfranchisement of people who may have voted another way
3. Bypassing constitutional procedure.

Yes, pretty much zero chance. Campaigning will be shifted to getting out the vote in big cities. Republicans will never win the presidency again. SCOTUS will follow shortly after.

It simply comes down to a way for the minority party to have power to kill anything from being passed instead of using the legislative process to change laws and such. I don't like the idea of Dems being able to pass everything that they want but thems the breaks in a democratic republic.

Those 5 states would all be extremely dumb to seek to leave the electoral college. They are all currently battleground states that all benefit from an influx of money and attention from politicians because of it.

The GOP wasn't supposed to ever win a presidential eletion ever again after 2020, according to many on this board.

So the argument is that Republicans don't have a platform/policies that are popular enough that the majority of Americans would want implemented compared to the Democrats? Therefore, a Republican can never be elected president again?

The Democrats have already said exactly what they will do. Eliminate the electoral college, Make DC and Puerto Rico states, Stack the Supreme Court with 13 judges, dismantle ice, and make out borders non-existent. This has been their plan since 2020. They have openly said it multiple times.

In case you haven't been paying attention, Obama was the Trojan horse. The Dems taking office now are openly and defiantly communist and Islamist.
I cannot for the life of me understand why so many of you can't or won't grasp this. It's not 1995 anymore.

Howd McCain Do? Romney?

the only one who was able to cut through the left media was Trump

Do you remember Romney having to debate Obama and the moderator Candy Crowleys false fact checks?

Romney getting laughed at proclaiming Russia as a biggest foe


We don't have reasoned debated on policy, we have a media hell bent on supporting the left

President and Vice-President are the only national roles voted on by every voter every 4-years. Our current system is a silly and dumb way to elect something the whole nation votes on. It gives way too much power to a hand full of states and dilutes the vote for people in large population states. Perhaps if they went back to the delagates being propotionally tied to the state's vote breakdown it would be less ass-backwards. Are we really arguing that a system were a less popular person wins is a fair election method?

Pretty sure that relies on Texas joining the compact which would require the state senate to go along. Not too likely at this point imho but we'll see.
