Your point is a moving target.

The Electorial College and Senate are also relics which we're stuck with until addressed via constitutional amendments.

Moving target?
Agree about the EC, hadn't thought much about congress critters.

I for one agree with the Founding Fathers on the EC and Senate as to the distribution of representation.

For me it has to do with a way to equalize big and small populations in States. The fact some have figured how to game the system is what needs to be addressed.

Good points.

The Senate, yes. The EC, not so much. Distrust of the rabble's choices.

Your rabble elects the Senate.

Senate is a State wide election, equal to in all fifty! There by when it is a majority in that forum it be one.

It's from the other side though. Do you think there will be a huge outcry?

Kinda sucks when people you thought were family and friends come along and rub your nose in it like a pup who can't seem to learn, don't it?

I suggest you all get used to it John, cause these new kids don't seem to be inclined to giving a shit or minding their 'P's n 'Q's like before. They're going to be all up in the NRA's grill this weekend. Good for them, I think I'll give the kids fiddy bucks or so to get 'em going.

My knees already gave their all back in the early '70's when another crook was in the White House.
