Yep, exactly. It's just another mindless club they use to (hypocritically) attack the left. I always enjoy using Reagan nearly tripling the debt as a rebuttal. I envision their denial shields instantly slamming shut to prevent their brains from having to process such heresy.At what point are we going to accept the fact that he and others like him don't actually care about debt? Anyone here have much doubt he supported Reagan and Bush 43 in every election they were in?
Debt only matters when democrats are in charge. You will see lip service paid to debt while they pass budget busting tax cuts for the rich and useful idiots like boomerang will cheer them on. Then when Democrats are in charge next time he will immediately return to harping about the debt and how America is going bankrupt. Hell, he will probably be even angrier about the irresponsible democrats because the debt will be that much higher after four years of debt increases from policies he supported.
Either it's a totally cynical lie that people are comfortable with or partisanship is so strong they lie to themselves.
Don't forget that they are still "rigged" or "biased" or whatever. They haven't "learned". I'm sure we'll see an all new polling agency start popping up on Fox News (but Breitbart first) showing "real" numbers that show what a fero dear father Trumpus is.Trump is at 50% disapproval at Gallup, huge swing in 1st week.
This idea is horrible.Why don’t we tweak the EC so votes are weighted by GDP contribution? If you want more representation, rally your city to step-up and contribute more.
Gallup had him at 45% last Friday/Saturday and Rasmussen now has him at 57% only a few days later. Apparently people are starting to like what they see...as Obama's legacy goes up in smoke.

There are already states that shouldn't even bother - How about half the western states? Campaigns are already limited to a few "swing" states and everything else is practically ignored. Your mistake is to believe that "big states" have some uniform population and would 100% go towards one party under a popular vote system.
And the popular vote can take hold sans constitutional amendment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Interstate_Compact
With the nature of gerrymandering, I would loathe to live under system that splits any electoral votes based on Congressional districting.
True, but conservatism would never be heard from again. The big money is made in the big cities.This idea is horrible.
This idea is horrible.
My apologies. It's often hard to tell around here, especially when new posters show up.Sorry... that was intended to be taken as a joke and just point out what IronWing posted.
