Discussion:
Our constitutional scholar strikes again

In another thread in discussion of Donald Trump, David Emerling made the
following observation:

"Getting elected on "long odds" doesn't say anything about his behavior or
policies. In fact, the only "poll" he won was the actual election - the
only poll that ultimately mattered. In the final days, something caused
the tide to turn."

That's when our resident constitutional scholar made this astute
revelation:

"No, it didn't. Hillary got the most votes.
But that didn't matter, because the Republicans had rigged the system."

I would never have figured that out without that being pointed out. The
rigged system is apparently the Electoral College. It was created when the
original constitution was ratified in 1788. That was 66 years before the
Republican Party was even formed. Now that's what I call foresight.

All I see you do here is make personal attacks on Liberals. Never any
research. Never any reading.

In case you aren't educated the political parties have changed over the
years.

Not only. I just mentioned a new trick they invented.

How about making all the polling places only in white areas and none in
black areas. You'd approve of that and claim the founding father invented
it.

How about the literacy test and the blacks have to read Chinese. Get
creative.

It has been obvious that I've read more history than you. If you wish to
go back to 1965 I can assure you that those citizens, mostly black, can
vote today. Being raised in the south I'm probably more familiar with this
than you. You know damn well I was talking about illegal "immigrants".
Until they get legal they have no right to vote in America and I
understand why they would have a hard time producing documents to get a
state issued state photo ID. As it should be.

And yet Hillary got the most popular votes, so I guess that "trick" didn't
work out too well. Fortunately, the writers of the Constitution saw this
nonsense coming, so they instituted the Electoral College, which elects
our president. There is nothing in the Constitution that says the people
have a voice in electing the president.

Our resident constitutional scholar still seems to be under the delusion
that the electoral college vote was even close and that flipping a few
thousand votes could have changed the outcome. The fact is no single state
made the difference. Going into the election, it was believed Trump had a
very narrow path to victory and that he had absolutely no chance if he
didn't carry Florida. As things turned out, his electoral college win was
so stunningly one side that even if he had lost Florida, he would have
still won the election. Trump won ALL the big battleground states. He lost
just two of the states that were considered toss ups and those were the
small states of New Hampshire and Nevada. Once Trump had carried Florida,
North Carolina, and Ohio, the election came down to the three blue wall
states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Any one of the three
would have put him over the top and he won all three decisively. Only
Michigan was close enough that it wasn't called until later the next day.
The combined margin of victory in those three states was well over a
hundred thousand. That means enough votes would have to have been flipped
in those three states to allow Hillary to carry all three and that's just
to give her a ridiculously improbable one vote margin in all three states.
Realistically speaking it would have required flipping a couple hundred
thousand votes in those states to give her an electoral college win, the
only kind of win that mattered.

Absolutely no evidence Russian interference tipped the scale in any state.
The state with the closest vote was New Hampshire which Hillary barely
carried. In the three blue wall states which Trump carried, his margin of
victory was tens of thousands of votes. Not even close enough to trigger
automatic recounts. He could have won with any one of the three although
if he had only carried Wisconsin, his electoral college majority would
have been so slim those faithless electors who chose not to vote for him
could have cost him a majority and that would have thrown the election
into the House of Representatives.

You still have not explained how they did that. What you can't accept is
Hillary was an unpopular candidate based on her own demerits. As SoT she
went around the world selling influence for the big bucks then acted like
an airhead over the unprotected server scandal. She dodged all the media
and press thinking she had the election in the bag. At no time did she
answer many questions the voters wanted to know about. Hillary was

In another thread in discussion of Donald Trump, David Emerling made the
"Getting elected on "long odds" doesn't say anything about his behavior or
policies. In fact, the only "poll" he won was the actual election - the
only poll that ultimately mattered. In the final days, something caused
the tide to turn."
That's when our resident constitutional scholar made this astute
"No, it didn't. Hillary got the most votes.
But that didn't matter, because the Republicans had rigged the system."
I would never have figured that out without that being pointed out. The
rigged system is apparently the Electoral College. It was created when the
original constitution was ratified in 1788. That was 66 years before the
Republican Party was even formed. Now that's what I call foresight.
   The electoral college seems to be an unnecessary step, and in the last
election, a step that went against the majority of votes.  With todays
electronic options, we should be able to work out a method for direct
voting to avoid the extra step, and so more properly represent the will of
the majority.  The last election did not reflect the majority by almost 3
million votes.
    It didn't help that Russia got involved and swayed as much of the
election as they could with their psychological methods and advertising.

They only needed to flip a few thousand voted in key states.
And get people to stay home.
Aha! A new definition of gerrymandering!

Not what I said.
How is getting people to stay home and not vote a type of Gerrymandering?

OMG!!! He still keeps insisting that gerrymandering influenced the outcome
of the 2016 election. How can you even attempt to carry on an intelligent
conversation with someone who has no concept of reality. It's the reason I
quit trying a long time ago.

The Supremes just kick ed back North Carolina's gerrymandering case and
told the lower court to reconsider their decision.

Shut up Marsh, you know nothing about which you write.

I'm sure you heard today that Justice Kennedy is resigning. First, I think
that tells us something about his worldview that he would give it up while
a conservative Republican is in the White House. I'm a little surprised
because he was a definite swing vote. There have been some hellacious
battles over nominees in the past, but we haven't seen anything yet. The
left knows what another conservative on the court will mean. Get the
children off the street.

They've already announced they are going to try to "Bork" whomever Trump
nominates. They will demonize the nominee so savagely in hopes of bringing
pressure on moderate Republicans to defect to their side. They need to
swing two. It is their only hope of stopping Trump's pick. The hard part
is going to be to keep their own caucus in line. 3 Democrat Senators are
up for reelection in states Trump carried by double digits. Joe Manchin is
in the fight of his life and Trump is very popular in his state of WV.
It's going to be very difficult for him to vote NO. It might turn out to
be his last vote as a Senator.

Well, you can't always predict. Maybe McCain will still be alive, but
unable to vote. Maybe a Never Trumper will defect.

Wait for Trump to do something so stupid and outrageous that even loyal

Either could be true. His insistence that gerrymandering played a role in
the outcome of the 2016 presidential election is so far off the rails it
is hard to imagine anyone could actually believe it yet he continues to
push idea regardless of how foolish it makes him look. So does he really
believe it or does he know it is ridiculous and is just too proud to admit
it? Your guess is as good as mine.
