One wonders how much longer trump's supporters will continue their fervent support, especially at election time. trump is increasingly leaning towards authoritarian rule which more than will likely accelerate if he wins a second term. A recent example...

 

trump is threatening to close Congress due to alleged obstruction to his nominations. Whereas trump in most cases hasn't nominated people for vacancies.

Trump is threatening to close congress?  I mean, not even in the rabidly leftist CNN or MSNBC has something this weird been claimed.

Win on what?

 

The popular vote that every registered elector has, or the non elected electoral college votes?

 

The EC has precedence over the popular vote, which IMHO should be abolished or only used for electing senators and congress persons. 

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Electoral_College

 

The Electoral College is a body of electors established by the United States Constitution, which forms every four years for the sole purpose of electing the president and vice president of the United States. The Electoral College consists of 538 electors, and an absolute majority of at least 270 electoral votes is required to win the election. According to Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution, each state legislature determines the manner by which its state's electors are chosen. Each state's number of electors is equal to the combined total of the state's membership in the Senate and House of Representatives; currently there are 100 senators and 435 representatives.

 

There is more information available for us non-US persons to plough through if your heart desires.

 

The Electoral College. I love it as much as I hate dirty rat communist operatives of the CCP hiding out all over this world. Amazing you included a wiki link explaining the EC. Must have been one hard find.

 

But yeah we call it freedom of speech. Just like this is. 

 

Remember to embrace the concept at home. Billions of lives are at stake.

You think Old Joe can't beat bu!!$it and a bad haircut? What is America's obsession with old geriatrics for presidents, are there no young, smart guys? Or are there just no smart voters?

Obama was an exception but you hated him!

I am still trying to figure out the CCP obsession with American politics... but then I realized it's fear. The same fear a dog feels while caged in a filthy Wuhan market.

 

But anyway Obama was a nice guy. He practically gave away the South China sea due to non-action...so I guess he is a popular figure in some circles.

Why do you need the electoral college to vote only for the President and the Vice President?

 

You have already voted for the party you want so again IMHO the popular vote determines the party and surely the have the right to have their leaders from the party who won?

 

It is not as if the voters can vote in the electoral college anyway.

 

PS I am far from being a leftist and I never mentioned voter ID at all.

The Party has an opinion on the electoral college that seems to favor a weak leftist cowtaoing band of criminals willing to give it all away. Not surprised. An opinion developed through millions of small democratic committees I am sure.

Ask Governors Cuomo, Newsom, Brown,  etc..

  

The goal of the program is to utilize unused ventilators by sending them to hospitals in coronavirus hot spots.

 

You're welcome

So Cuomo said he needed 30000 ventilators, he complained about the federal government not being able to provide that, then he gets 4000 and now he has a surplus. What great management abilities.

What  an amazing difference.

 

While Thailand decisively and united succesfully battles the corona virus, America plays the blame game, left blaming right, right blaming left, citizens who proudly disobey and even stage protests and demand to "open the economy" , blaming China, blaming WHO, blaming the Fake Media. 

 

A TRUE LEARNING MOMENT! 

The whole world blames China except the CCP.

Believe I'm correct that US is the only Western country with an Electoral College process for selecting the President / PM, To try and ensure some form of fairness most use electoral boundaries, but politicians being what they are it's not unusual for gerrymandering. Again I understand there is quite a lot of discussion within the US as to whether the Electoral College process is still appropriate ongoing e.g.

 

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/21/opinion/electoral-college-warren-trump.html

You are a master at digging up common knowledge. The Electoral college seems to drive the CCP crazy. As does voting, an independent judiciary, and Presidential elections.

Take a lesson on Obama’s pivot to Asia foreign policy and let us know about Trump’s Asia policy if any.

That's a very obscure section of the US Constitution that to my knowledge has never been used. The same section also allows for the president to force a conveneing of Congress and I'm not so sure that wouldn't be a good idea.  Congress has been absent for weeks and plan to be for weeks more. Pelosi blocked remote voting, so we have been effectively left without a government during a crisis. Trump's walking into the door Pelosi left open.

 

[WalkingOrders]

I wish the obsession of certain posters with abolishing the Electoral College in the United States of America could find a new homeplace for posts within the Forum. Perhaps a Comparison and Contrast of Democratic processes of the USA and China? A great place for posting wikipedia and NY Times articles... a shame that nothing more then that will be posted by the Chinese, but its worth a try

There are very few small Democrat committees anymore, as during the Obama administration more than 1,000 state elections were lost by the Democrats. I guess people thought "If the Democrats aren't really Democrats anymore, then why should I vote for them".

WAPO account? Surely you mean that you couldn't read beyond the first paragraph of your link. Difficult to do the currency conversion I would think....and costly for Propaganda Poster Level I to get a subscription... and anyway the bosses would find out.

Both gentlemen well suited for economic affairs. As for Obama’s East policies, the follow-up by Trump is falling apart with his handling of North Korea’s nukes, the reclaimed islands in SC sea and walking out of TPP.  Disaster for Asia and China is thanking Trump.
