Electoral College Vs Gross Popular Vote

Well, I've been laying low since the election, trying to maintain an even keel despite the fact that I believe we avoided the worst, most evil, candidate in my lifetime and quite possibly ever. Knowing full well that the president elect we have has plenty of warts himself. But to watch the radical left's continual harangue has been astounding.

Yes, I understand that Hillary won the popular vote by 2,833,220 votes according to  http://www.cnn.com/election/results/president . However, if you were to remove New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago, Donald Trump would have won the popular vote by 908,370 votes. So the question one should ask when considering the popular vote vs the electoral college vote is, should a limited number of high population centers choose the president for all of America? Or....is the electoral college system that allows every part of the country to have input the more appropriate system.

I personally believe that EVERY area of the country needs to have a voice that actually counts when we are choosing a singular person who is to lead us all. NOT just someone that those in the population centers wants.

Let's face it. While those in New York and California may believe they are smarter and know better than the rest of us, I vehemently disagree!

I've spent time in New York and even lived in Southern California for awhile, and each has things that are enviable. Food in NYC's case and weather in SoCal's. Neither one represents me and my beliefs.

If we were to go to a gross total total system, there would be NO representation of middle America. Those seeking the highest office need not apply if they don't parrot exactly what those on both coasts believed. There would be no need to ever campaign or even listen to folks in North Carolina or Iowa or Montana.

So while the gross vote count total seems on the surface to be the democratic way to determine the POTUS, I think we should remember, we are NOT a democracy. We are a Republic, and thus all should be represented. As they say, a democracy is 2 wolves and a sheep arguing over what's for dinner. If the US were to operate as a strict democracy, there would be about 6 or 7 states that were the wolves and the other 43 or 44 states would be the sheep. So don't fall for that crap argument by the left that we should only go off the popular vote total. They are trying to give you a fools choice that sounds reasonable but is far from it.

Or so it would seem to an old farm boy.

Merry Christmas one and all!
