MSNBC host Chris Hayes attempted to again sow distrust in the Electoral College during his show Friday night, but his comments have earned mockery on social media.While speaking to an “All In With Chris Hayes” audience, the host suggested that the Electoral College – America’s system for selecting its president since the Constitution was written – is unconstitutional.“The weirdest thing about the electoral college is the fact that if it wasn't specifically in the Constitution for the presidency, it would be unconstitutional,” Hayes said.

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how'd you like the play? And has AOCotex come out for eliminating Electoral College student loans?
MAGA

What
an
IDIOT.
If the sun wasn't hot, it would be cold.
If water wasn't wet, it would be dry.
If Hayes had half a brain, he wouldn't be the moron that he is.

Two things resulted in us actually having a United States of America. The inclusion of the Senate and the Electoral College. Both protected smaller states from the tyranny of the more populous states. Some states would not have voted to ratify the Constitution without such protections.
Scrapping what has worked for over two centuries because liberals got their noses out of joint over Hillary Clinton's Electoral College whuppin' shows you how weak and vulnerable the democrats are heading into the 2020 election.

‘If It Wasn’t Specifically In The Constitution…' Shouldn't it be ‘If It Weren’t Specifically In The Constitution…. It Would Be Unconstitutional'. Wouldn't it be non-Constitutional?

The electoral college is what keeps us from having another civil war. If the big cities and heavily populated states used the popular vote to control elections, and implemented government policy for their own advantage, the other states would rise up. It would be bloody. I suspect that the military would fracture, so the democrats couldn't count on controlling it either.

The United States of America is a union of individual sovereign states constituional republic. The structure of its government was designed specifically by the founders to share power between the states and the federal government as a republic and not a pure democracy. The electoral college was created to avoid a democratic tyranny comprised of the states with large populations to effectively balance power between these governmental entities.

Now do abortion, government welfare/healthcare and all the gun free zones Chrissy. If you dare that is. Because by your own logic, you just admitted that the entire agenda of the democrats is unconstitutional.

The underlying problem is the Democrat party is becoming more and more regional, while the Founder Fathers wanted a geographically broad-based system for choosing a president. Flooding the country with impoverished immigrants is one way to combat that. The other way is to just trash the Constitution. Dems have no interest in appealing to more than residents of Brooklyn, LA, Detroit, and Berkeley

Sure, Chris. But it IS specifically in the Constitution. And that means, by definition, that it IS constitutional.

Those founding fathers really knew what they were doing when they added the electoral college for elections. Even back then, Virginia and New York were huge influencers in the nation.

Do lie-berals even try to think before they speak?!?!?!?
Or does the evil that permeates everything about their beings, and their total lack of souls, just cause the really stupid and evil words to fly out?!?!?!?!?!?

So? If the Electoral College weren’t in the Constitution there might still be slaves, Chris. And if MSNBC were a real news channel Chris Hayes would be cleaning the washrooms.

Notice when Chris does a interview he sniffs his fingers. I wonder where those fingers were?
