The average Presidential election (poll) has sampled about 50% of age eligible voters. The 2020 election it was 66%...poll size of a little over 200,000,000. Of eligible voters 155,507,476 voted for either Biden or Trump. So...the 2020 presidential election had a sample of size 200,000 times the size of the biggest Gallup poll.

But here's the important thing about all of this.

The Republican candidate for President has received fewer votes than the Democratic candidate for President in seven of the last eight elections.

The biggest political poll, 200,000 times larger than any other political poll, says American people don't like the Repubican Party.

So it's crystal clear that the country does not agree with Zero when it comes to what they need.

Republicans: One out of the last eight??? What's going on guys...

I don't know anything about him. I liked JFK and Bobby Sr. I suppose you would call him. JFK was a fiscal conservative comparatively. Suspect the world would be a better place if he had served a couple of terms.

That is true. If you will read The Federalist Papers you will see the reasoning behind the Electoral College. More or less it boiled down to why would the western states or mid America join the United States if they had no say against the eastern cities, as well as western cities now.

Believe it or not the U.S. is still rule by consent. If the fly over states decide to just quit consenting it would not be a good thing or much the big cities could do about it.

So leave the Electoral College alone.


Oh, by the way. Trump won well over 90% of the counties and land area. Seems like it was actually 98% of the land area.

First the little states are already obscenely over represented in the Legislative branch and in the electoral college.

And...People count, not counties or square miles. Too bad the people don't count in the Legislative and the Electoral College.

Perhaps, but neither could tell the future.

The Founding Father's were saying frankly that the US is not a Democracy.

Not so. They most emphatically believed that it was a representative democracy (as opposed to a "pure" democracy). They were indeed concerned whether our democracy, or any democracy, could endure.
