That said, electing the POTUS by popular vote will simply lead to mob-democracy. People will vote in whoever gives them the free stuff. Bad idea. - See more at: www.abovetopsecret.com...
You don't see how? Read Wrabbit's post for an explanation. Large cites will determine the elections. Why do you think the libs want to change the rules? For equity and fairness? We'll no longer be a democratic republic. We'll be a pure democracy. They want to do this in Congress too. They already did this in the Senate. The democratic party is tearing this nation down bit by bit. I hope they all rot in hell.

I fail to see the problem here....
The president should be elected by popular vote.
So you're fine with the idea that the majority of states could be trumped because a handful of states with larger populations (think NY, CA, FL and pretty much the states that have voted for this POS) can easily call the election and render all other states votes meaningless.
My understanding of the popular vote is the count of the candidate with the most votes form all states combined...
Not sure how a state gets trumped in that sense.

What is it with progressives?
They don't like the Constitution.
They don't like the Bill of Rights.
They don't like the electoral process. - See more at: www.abovetopsecret.com...
