Trump to GOP: I Can Win Without Party Unity

The electoral college was a compromise that was intended to defend against the tyranny of the majority, particularly regional interests. What happens when the heartland decides it has had enough?

PFC Daniel Starrett - Private you have me confused.

Are you talking about the system whereby a PRIVATE organization operates an INTERNAL process for decision making (i.e. the Republican's "Nomination Race") or are you talking about the way that the Founding Fathers tried to ensure that the best qualified person to administer the laws of the United States of America was selected to be the President of the United States of America WITHOUT any injection of "party politics" (or alternatively the way that the Founding Fathers tried to ensure that the selection of the President of the United States of America [like the selection of the membership of the Senate and the membership of the federal judiciary] remained firmly in the hands of "The Right People")?

At this stage of the race for starting positions in the real race, the ELECTORAL College (emphasis added) has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the contest.

PFC Daniel Starrett - Private; [LATE ADD] If Mr. Trump does not get enough votes to win the Presidency, then the outcome of the Presidential election is decided by the House of Representatives with each "state delegation" (as differentiated from each "Representative") having one vote AND the outcome of the Vice-Presidential election is decided by the Senate with each Senator (as differentiated from each "state delegation") having one vote.

COL Ted Mc - Please, stop. You're making me feel faint with all this agreement between us

What if he destroys the country? People laugh at that idea, but it is, personally, a very real possibility. His idea of a good business plan is to PLAN on filing bankruptcy. I have heard himself say this personally, not just listened to other people say he said this. he has also stated before that he would run the government like a business. To me 2+2 = him intending to "file bankruptcy" on our debts. What do you think China, Britain and everyone else we owe money to is going to do if we default?

While I agree with you regarding nothing being free, I have to disagree with yuo, quite vehemently, about the only reason people dislike Mr. Trump is because he isn't spewing rainbows....

He has absolutely no regard for our laws and constitution; and you can not claim otherwise when he has stated himself (I have heard him) that he wants to either deport or register and mark all Muslims regardless of citizenship status. He literally wants to reenact the things we did against Chinese Americans back in WWII and that is absolutely unacceptable.

PFC Daniel Starrett - Private; The US government took no actions against "Chinese Americans" during WWII because the US and China were allied and fighting on the same side. (Admittedly there is some confusion about which side General Chiang Kai-shek was fighting on (although there no longer remains much doubt about the honest and truthfulness of his government - they were almost completely lacking).

Possibly you were thinking about those people who were:

[1] Japanese citizens but who were living in the United States of America;
[2] Former Japanese citizens who were living in the United States of America and had become American citizens;
[3] American born American citizens whose parents fell into one of the two previous categories;
[4] American born American citizens whose grandparents fell into one of the three previous categories;
and
[5] American born American citizens whose great-grandparents fell into one of the four previous categories.

HISTORICAL TRIVIA TIME:- Who said “If we see that Germany is winning, we ought to help Russia and if Russia is winning we ought to help Germany, and that way let them kill as many as possible, although I don't want to see Hitler victorious under any circumstances. Neither of them thinks anything of their pledged word.”?
