Opinion Yes, by all means let’s let California, New York, Illinois and Florida decide who runs the country. 4 of the worst run states in the country. 🤔

Opinion Lookes more like a dragon then eagle

Opinion fakenewsCNN Not in this lifetime!

Opinion Funny how there is only a problwm with ec when dems lose

Opinion The tax burden of illegal immigration cost a lot more than a barrier and boarder security. Dems will lose in 2020

Opinion Trump 2020 keep it up so Republicans are guarantee.

Opinion It’s not a mess. Actually quite brilliant. Gives small states like Wisconsin a day in who will b president.

Opinion There is no EC college mess. The EC works like the founders intended by limiting the power of a handful of large highly populated states. Furthermore the EC forces candidates to run national campaigns and represent all 50 states.

Opinion The electoral college is brilliant, don't create a problem that doesn't exist

Opinion Typical of the whining Dems. If you can’t win; change the rules of the game

Opinion The only thing messy about the Electoral College is that we use a popular vote to select the electors. There is no requirement in the Constitution for a popular vote for president, and we should return to the state legislatures selecting the electors, as originally done.

Opinion No mess. That’s how it works fool. 51 separate elections just like the founders designed it.

Opinion How is winning an election by the way our founding fathers intended a mess? Has anyone at biased Fake News CNN considered the fact that if the rules were different and it was a popular vote race candidates would campaign differently?

Opinion No no Bobby, the electoral college stays.

Opinion Mess? Thank God for the Electoral College.

Opinion Winning the electoral college isn't an 'Electoral College mess'

Opinion Let’s break down your story. Clinton won the popular vote because liberal states allow illegals to vote and democrats get about 70% of that vote. The poll numbers are hard to understand as Trump has gotten more done than any other president.

Opinion In other words the democrats have to find a way to win the votes of working Americans in the Heartland instead of these cesspools that are California and New York

Opinion Communist News Network at their propaganda again

Opinion This is a total crock there is only one way to win a presidential election and that has been only one way and that is by the Electoral College not the popular vote read a history book or take a civics class

Opinion If we had went by popular vote the millions of invalid voter names recently removed from California's voter roles in a settlement of a lawsuit would have wrongly swayed the results..as long as illegal immigrants are encouraged to vote the popular vote is irrelevant.

Opinion Dems are such sore losers...it’s hilarious. 😂

Opinion 🇺🇸TRUMP2020🇺🇸

Opinion It's a feature not a bug. Working as intended.

Opinion The electoral college, the only college or university the left doesn’t like.

Opinion Only in your little leftist mind is it a mess ! It's brilliant!

Opinion Why is it a mess if works exactly the way it was intended to?

Opinion Dems lie & cheat. Exhibit A 👇🏼

Opinion LOL If CNN & the Dems had their way there would be no electoral college, NY & CA would determine every election & this country would be like CA. CA is getting ready to start taxing the air people breathe because they are beyond bankrupt.

Opinion “Another”? Seems to me the right candidate won fair and square last election despite Dem efforts to CHEAT! 🇺🇸MAGA🇺🇸

Opinion There's a simple solution. All states distribute their ec votes proportionately, thus making all states competitive and ensuring the popular vote is respected. Republicans would never support that though

Opinion Mess?

Opinion The obvious here is if Clinton won in 2016 and is President, you wouldn’t hear of this talk about eliminating the EC. This is coming from an Independent who’s vote is essentially a waste anyway because we are the TRULY the minority of Pres voting.

Opinion The EC has failed. It was created to prevent a rabble rouser from conning the American voters into electing an unfit person. In 2016 it did the exact opposite. It’s time to trash this ridiculous broken system and embrace a true democratic vote.

Opinion That’s not a “mess”. That’s the way our election system works. It’s only a “mess” now because the author is butthurt that Dems won’t win. Also- Obama’s approval rating was 41% pretty his entire second term so the “historically unpopular” vein in the article is a crock.

Opinion What is meant by misfire election? The election result was right on target, like it or not. The Electoral College worked as designed, for precisely what it was designed to do. Elections need to represent the electorate of the Country, not the State. Accept the outcome and move on

Opinion Thank you, thank you, thank you Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan! See you again 2020!

Opinion Canada has no electoral college on federal voting night once the polling station closes in Ontario the election for government is already declared. This has been happening since Canada became a country. 4 provinces and 2 territories have no say on which party is elected.

Opinion Never has the news been more obvious! If pointing out the obvious is all it takes, sign me up to be a reporter.

Opinion You people still don't get it, Trump has no idea what he's doing and is an accident waiting to happen. What you should be concerned about is the judgement of those who support and follow him. It says a lot about their decision making ability, morality and intelligence. Idiots!!

Opinion **translation: we could be headed for another trump W (which is a mess for CNN)

Opinion If we did not have the EC, then pretty much California and New York would decide every election. The Founders were brilliant, making sure the votes in every state count. The election is not a popularity contest.

Opinion Any change in electoral absolutely must be tied to vote ID in all elections. Democrats would lose every election. Hillary’s 2000000 votes by dead people and illegals would be voided.

Opinion Yea, we want the illegal popular votes to count this time!!!!!

Opinion Do you, can you, believe all elections are carried out legally? No matter what party, are all votes cast legally without equitation ? There is no way to answer this question with a yes. That’s why we need the electoral college. Acts more or less as an equalizer.

Opinion USA Constitution, great design. Keeps idiot's in check.

Opinion Let’s be really real here, when has it not been a mess?

Opinion Hey FakeNewsCNN

Opinion It's time to change it.

Opinion If the socialist think America will let California New York and a few other liberal states elect a president they are wrong everyone has seen the 2016 national election map and it was red

Opinion 2016: 235,248,000 votes cast! Does anyone really believe Clinton’s 2,800,000 extra votes is worth “un-uniting” the United States by giving a handful of states the power?

Opinion Whys it a mess? Because trump won? The electoral college is what it is.

Opinion By mess do you mean losing another election? Yea it’s headed that way 😂

Opinion Avoiding Mob Rule does not seem like a mess to me?

Opinion I wasn't aware the first .ElectoralCollge mess had ended. .realDonaldTrump .GOP

Opinion The constitution working the way it was designed to work in regards to the electoral college isn’t a mess. fakenews

Opinion That God for the electoral college......

Opinion The Democrat socialists are trying to change the rules because they got crushed. Nothing is going to happen to the electoral college.

Opinion Oh yes let's invent Rank choice voting to further the takeover by Progressive Marxist Commuist Liberal Moonbat LOSERS! Oh that's right they are using it already in State races.

Opinion Only a mess if Trump wins again. CNN, mouthpiece for the Socialist Democrat Party

Opinion It’s a mess because it doesn’t fit your agenda.

Opinion I think Mr. Trump on the issue of the barrier with Mexico has fallen into trouble ... I'll get you out of this dilemma Mr. Trump ... Just send me to Iraq a million dollars .. I'm not telling you how I'll take you out. My address: Iraq, Najaf, Mobile: 009647804041669

Opinion

Opinion The EC is a joke.

Opinion CNN IS INSANE. FAKE NEWS!

Opinion I couldn’t even finish reading this with all the lies in the beginning.

Opinion The only reason most republicans support the EC, is because they struggle to win elections without it. They are a minority so they rely on EC, gerrymandering & voter suppression to “win”.

Opinion What the hell does that mean? You liberals can’t steal our nation.

Opinion does anybody know if you can watch the congress in session online?

Opinion More BS FAKE NEWS. 🐑🐑🐑

Opinion Everything CNN does is doomsday for America ScottAdamsSays do you remember the last piece that actually was positive about either the President or America?

Opinion The electoral college: created at a time when it took days to receive news and the fastest means of transport was horse. This isn't 1796 anymore. Time to either abolish or revamp the EC.

Opinion Its time for the electoral college to go.

Opinion No we won’t

Opinion it's not a mess it's exactly how it's supposed to be

Opinion The EC needs to go! It’s unfair that some people’s vote has has more deciding power than others simply because of the state one lives. Each citizens vote should be equal to the next!

Opinion Another?

Opinion Trump will win in 2020

Opinion Not necessary. You just had a bad candidate.

Opinion Nope, with Florida suddenly blue and Texas in play in 2018, 2020 is going to be a massacre if nothing changes.

Opinion Get rid of the electoral college already

An Idea for Electoral College Reform That Both Parties Might Actually LikeThe way we now elect presidents would horrify the authors of the U.S. electoral system. But the system can be fixed, and the power lies with the states. No. I don't think it would at all. The system works as intended. Total BS story. Clinton’s loss was exactly what they meant the electoral college to accomplish. Read it the doc fools. It in there and going no where. Wrong.

New Democrat bills aim to eliminate electoral college, stop Trump pardoning himselfRep Steve Cohen (D-TN) said it is time Americans 'directly elect our president and vice president.' It called progress, Donald. Of the 41 years in my life, 46% have seen Democrat presidents. Damn near perfectly balanced. Those who want to eliminate the electoral college are basically saying the rural deserves no voice and that the major metropolitan areas should make all the decisions.
