[QUOTE="Jock Ewing Fan, post: 325746, member: 40536"] I think you are right about Bernie Sanders. As I recall, One debate was scheduled at an inconvenient time opposite a major football game, possibly to limit his profile, and a CNN vommentator (not a misspelling) was eventually fired for giving HC debate questions/talking points. Also, a DNC chair was removed for misconduct that favored the Clinton campaign I have mixed feelings about the Electoral College, I think there are good arguments on both sides. Right now I favor keeping it, only because all Presidential Elections would likely be decided by New York State, California, the Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia areas and several other major urban population centers. Rural/Agrarian interests, Mountain States would be hard pressed to have a chance to win, and even less likely to have legislation passed that represents their interests, even with majorities in Congress (Due in part to Presidential Veto power) The Founding Fathers wisely foresaw how the Size and Population of larger states could lead to an imbalance of power, and I think that is why the Electoral College has prevailed so far. Again, there can be solid arguments both for and against. [/QUOTE]
