The EV system has been good to the GOP as evidenced by 2001 and 2016. I'm not ready to advocate for abolishment, however.

I wish they would instead do it like NE and ME already do have two statewide votes and then each district assign a vote.The EV system has been good to the GOP as evidenced by 2001 and 2016. I'm not ready to advocate for abolishment, however.

There is the problem that we don't really have elections by popular vote here in America. This is why polling can't really reliably show how the election would turn out. Why do we have to have the electorate vote instead?
That may be good enough for you, but it isn't fair democracy (really, when it benefits just one political party and not based on its merits!), and so should be abandoned in favor of real democracy, for democracy's sake, with every vote counting, and that must come then.
IOW, they don't all look alike.Which goes to show that unlike the AA community which pulls as one when politics is concerned, the Hispanic community for all its vaunted growing numbers, is totally fragmented, doesn't have one common mind about issues-doesn't really know who or what its real friends and enemies are and is therefore not one monolithic political threat to any particular party. In short, it drastically waters down its own potential influence via disagreements and lack of a clear political focus.
What is false campaigning?I wonder how much mis-belief went into the campaign? Would you agree that false campaigning constitutes (both) a sin (and a crime).

That's not what the RealClearPolitics chart appears to show.Trump's approval/disapproval spread has dropped between 9-15% since inauguration:
RealClearPolitics - Election Other - President Trump Job Approval

Towing the political line might constitute falsity, esp. if your beliefs are different from the Senate. Also, there's the false belief held by others that policy proposed and endorsed shall be delivered quite as they were made to believe it e.g. contextual media. Does a campaign have a legal duty to ensure that differing beliefs amongst constituants are well understood or is towing the lie acceptable?

They don't have to look alike to have similar opinions about Latinos.
His approval rate is actually at 46%.This is definite for what is current.

Here it shows how low Donald Trump's approval as president really is now.
55.8% Disapprove, 38.3% Approve.
Gallup doesn't seem to agree:His approval rate is actually at 46%.
I guess it would depend on your definition of "correct" wouldn't it? I personally think polls aren't worth anything because one minute later, one question asked differently and a whole host of other things and the poll results are totally different.Which polls got the election more or less correct? Those would be the ones to pay attention to, if you're going to pay attention to any at all.
