This would be unacceptable, and there should be more public demand for abolishing this system that let’s the loser walk away with the prize. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

According to a new report in the Washington Examiner earlier this week, which by the way, Washington Examiner is a very conservative paper, but the Washington Examiner spoke to several republican sources and repel a Republican operatives. And they told us that these Republican operatives believe Donald Trump is once again in 2020 going to lose the popular vote. But they are confident he's gonna win that Electoral College. So he will once again be elected president. So Republican's according to a Republican paper, are actually counting on the fact that yeah, there's no way Trump's going to win the popular vote, but because of this outdated antiquated system we have in place, the electoral college, he still has a very clear path to victory. Um, this is, it makes me so angry here. I'm going to read you this quote from the paper here. This is from GOP strategist David Carney, who says, California, Illinois in New York make it very, very difficult for anybody on our side to ever again to win the popular vote president shouldn't worry about it. 270 electoral votes. That's what people remember.
I still cannot wrap my head around the level of stupid that it takes to think that we shouldn't have the person that most people in this country want. Being President of the United States, that doesn't make any sense folks, and these more on Republicans like Carney that I just quoted, we shouldn't have people in California that he's never going to win the popular vote because of them. What? What the hell are you talking about? Do do you on it? Do you think everybody in the country lives in California and New York and Illinois that that that's not how that works. That's really not how it works. They get electoral votes because those states have large populations, so by your logic, shouldn't we be arguing for the abolition of the electoral college if you don't want those few states to pick the president? That's what I don't get is that every single time one of these Republicans tries to tell us why we can't erase the electoral college.
