Hillary in 2020?

[Basil the Great]

It was the very first question and she responded with a flat out "No."

According to USA Today, the question was, "Do you want to run" and she responded by saying "no".

Either you meant Andrew Cuomo, or we have a zombie running for Governor.

Uh...what?

Glad to see folks realize there are other people in other parts of the country that may have different views.

Yes, I am not crazy enough to think that everyone shares my views.

Then I trust you are throwing your support behind the Calexit campaign, then? They don't want to be part of the U.S., you don't want them in the U.S. -- what's the issue?

What is the issue with what?

Mario Cuomo is dead. I'm quite aware of who he was. His son Andrew is the current Governor of NY and running for re-election.

Funny though, if we removed CA she would have loss the popular vote. That is why we do not elect president by popular vote. The system worked.

So you're saying citizens in California shouldn't have the right to vote? Or maybe, to be fair, we remove both Texas and California -- and Clinton still has more votes. It's also ironic since I can recall back to the 70s, when it was the Republicans criticizing the Electoral college and wanting to end it.

It has been shown there was not Russian hacking. Moreover, if you look at the maps ( broken down by district you will see that there is a LOT more red. In fact, the only blue is in the cites.

Yeah, for some reason our system is set up to count empty land as more important than the votes of actual citizens. Who knows why, but it does seem weird.

You cannot tell me that everyone in the cities voted blue and EVERYONE outside the cities voted red.

Of course not. Why in the world would you expect anyone to tell you that?

 

[SimplyMe]

At this point, it seems to me that Republicans have far more interest in Hillary running than Democrats do. Every time Hillary is asked about running, some Republican (or at least Trump supporter) seems to run to these forums to post a thread wondering if she'll run.

Why would you remove California?

Funny how that works, isn't it? Trump flip flopped on the Electoral College too. He once said the Electoral College is a disaster for a democracy (Source) and now he's all for it. Go figure.

The frank answer the cities there and the governor are FAR too PC for me and I do not want them controlling the country which is why we even have the EC, by the way.

You don't have to live here if you don't want to.

The question is, why would you ignore the votes in any one state? What if we all wanted to ignore Georgia voters? Would you be okay with that?

I think that adding in a formula to the EC that increases the weight of donor state votes would be interesting.

How unAmerican.

We are not ignoring them, but there are fifty states, so one should not speak for the whole country. That is why we have the EC. If you asks me that should do it like ME and NK do where the popular vote gets two votes and then whoever wins each district gets a vote, as opposed to the winner take all that is in the other 48 states.

What is so UnAmerican? about not caring if people are offended?

 

[Go Braves]

Well sure, I have no doubt she still wants it but I highly doubt she'll run again.

Silencing a large portion of the population because you don't like them.

Silencing a large portion of the population because you don't like them.

The right to offend (freedom of speech) comes with the expection of being offended at times.

You cannot tell me that everyone in the cities voted blue and EVERYONE outside the cities voted red. There were third parties in there as well.

It's been indisputably proven that there was Russian hacking. Saying otherwise at this point is on par with bleating that the earth is flat.

People are people whether they live in cities or rural areas. The fact was in the 2016 election there were millions more folks who voted for Hillary over Trump.
