PARK CITY, Utah — Since losing the 2016 election to Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton has released a memoir about that defeat, launched a political action committee and penned another book about “gutsy women” with her daughter, Chelsea. But Clinton’s most prominent return to the public eye has come at the Sundance Film Festival, where the former Secretary of State unveiled a candid four-hour documentary series, “Hillary.”
Clinton is aware that some thought she would slink away after 2016.
“Yes, they did, didn’t they?” Clinton said in an interview in Park City. “Well, that was never an option.” Nanette Burstein’s “Hillary,” which Hulu

She's making her move. This crooked POS will never quit.
She is a known law breaker and still runs free. It is a disgrace that "oh so great" AG Barr has not had her indicted and put away forever. Here we have President Trump under fire for doing absolutely nothing wrong while all the Obama crooks are still free. This is not justice and should not be allowed to continue.

Why havnt the treasoncrats introduced a constitutional amrndement ?
They know it wont get ratified. But in the meantime, any republican that wins without the popular vote is illegitimate. Ignoring the fact that Bill Clinton won a plurarality of the vote....never the majority.

I'd be marginally - miniscully - more favorable to her suggestion if I didnt know Democrats get something like 30% of their vote from the graveyard, which is easiest to slip in, in large metropolitan areas.
But... No, you murderous tyrant. Just, no...

Have at it Hillary. There is a process for making Constitutional changes. You should get it started and by the time it's finished you'll be stumbling around in the woods whining about your "glory days" and how "you coulda been a contender". Oh wait, you already are. Too late, LOSER.
Hillary, much smarter people than you knew, that to form a FAIR union and avoid tyranny of the majority, similar to what happened in the House voting for impeachment, they needed to balance the power of the large states in voting for president. The president needs to be the president of the whole Country, not just New York and a California full of ILLEGAL voters.
Still, have at it Hillary. It will be one more failure to add to your legacy.

If we the people are poorly educated we are vulnerable to claptrap like this, and there will surely always be conniving charlatans like her to exploit our weakness.

When you see the voting map, you see why dems want to eliminate the Electoral college, all they'd need to carry is NY and CA, to hell with the rest of the Country. The Supreme Court would never allow this to happen.

1) The states/colonies were here first. The federal government came later. It was in that Declaration and stuff.
2) The mania for national this and national that comes exclusively from Democrats who exclusively want all power concentrated in one city. States will just be lines on a map - administrative districts for Big Brother.
3) Hillary's entire 'data model' and strategy were based on eking out a victory. They had zip-code-by-zip-code information and were trying cynically to count votes based on sex, religion, race, etc. before the election. What they didn't factor in: Hillary is a repellent shrew. Hillary is a sick individual mentally and physically. I don't buy the 'Hillary didn't visit Wisconsin' theory of her loss except to note that her health prevented her from doing so. Hillary campaigned lots of other places and still lost. And so, Hillary is attempting to apply criteria now that are the opposite of her criteria then. She saw her husband sneak into the presidency and planned to do same. In addition, a 51% win would have given her the maximum number of states and voters against which to seek reprisals. She is a vindictive cow.

How efficient and economical it would be to campaign for president in about 4 states and be done with it.
The heck with what middle America thinks about anything.
The founders knew there would be people like this that would rise to the top...like sludge on the water after an oil spill.

Good luck with that PIAPS. It takes a constitutional amendment to eliminate the electoral college and how long has it been since one of those passed? The last attempt was the ERA back in 1980 and it rightly went down in flames.

The EU is a perfect example of the failures inherent in Central Planning. We need less bureaucracy in D.C., certainly not more. Conservatives should use a chunk of their PAC monies re-educating the country how the Government was set up, and more importantly, why.

Canada doesn't have an electoral college. Right now it's run by the voters from Toronto (not Ontario) and Newfoundland. We don't want that here. Just go away, Hillary. Barr where are you? Why is she running around free - Benghazi. Let's never forget those murders.

I might say, "OK," if we take away the 18 year old vote, since we no longer have a draft, and if all States were to scrub voter lists to eliminate dead and illegal invader voters, but then there's that little inconvenience known as the Constitution... poor dumb Hillary.

If it was set up by the founders that 'mob rule' popular vote would not work. Abe Lincoln would have lived and died in the backwoods of Illinois while some fellow wearing a tall hat from New York would have been President you dumb old drunken hag. That's why we have the electoral college. Teach that to your Howdy Doody looking Web Hubble daughter, Chelsea.

How about whoever wins the EC/House district vote has that EC vote allocated proportionally?
How many people are in districts who don't bother to vote anymore due to their conclusion the rest of the state's vote will simply disenfranchise them by allocating it away to the Dem or Rep?
Instead of 5-6 "swing" states, we'd have 435 districts being actively courted - let the Senators vote as they deem, which would likely be on partisan basis.
Then, install finger print technology to ensure only the correct, eligible person is voting.

She wants to skip all the campaigning trips to places in 'flyover country' and rake in votes in places where people can live without anybody knowing them - the better for 'finding' votes from people who don't actually exist..

To be consistent, she should also advocate abolishing the Senate. Same principle.
The Founding Fathers created two separate paths for amending the Constitution. Shrillary should dedicate the rest of her life to adopting these changes. It would keep her off the bottle.

This is not a pure democracy. It is a representative democracy. Even in places like the United Kingdom, another fine democratic nation, the head of government (the prime minister) is NOT elected by popular vote. In fact, the party who wins a majority (or a coalition of parties who band together if there is no majority party) elects the prime minister. That is STILL a representative democracy, not a pure one.
If someone wants to win the presidency, play by the existing rules and win. Stop grousing about the rules when you cannot deliver. THAT is what losers do!

If HRC had a heart, and speaking from that heart, she would say it this way: 'The person who buys or digs up the most votes should win.' That is if she had a lick of honor, she'd tell the truth. Below is the entire quote you are looking for:
“The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.
An evil soul producing holy witness
Is like a villain with a smiling cheek,
A goodly apple rotten at the heart.
O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!” ― William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

She is right. She is rested. She is the moral center of the resistance and the Opposition. She is the wisest, most experienced and obviously the smartest rat. It is imperative that all voters who opposed the horrible Trump get behind her and nominate her as their candidate. You know she will energize the party and bring all the vermin together. Send her your dollars, volunteer for her. Don't waste another day on the other old, corrupt, sick, rats. She is your leader. Please nominate her.
Oh never mind. The Witch of Bengazi is going to blackmail and pay off her way into the nomination at the convention. You know, with 'super duper delegates.' Don't worry everything will be fine. Her big, black personal care aide can now support her with two fingers while he injects the happy juice with his other hand. Also the getaway van has extra padding in the cargo area and the 'security' team can now toss a limp body from 20 yards away with almost pinpoint accuracy. They only leave a shoe behind half the time now.

This horrid woman continues to peck at us from the outside, like a crow on the windowsill, even though she keeps on losing. She is not presidential material, she is not even a human being, as demonstrated by her performance in the positions to which she did manage to get herself appointed. Her legacy is a mound of stolen money and dead bodies.

The democrats have made the case for exactly why the EC should never be touched. For it is the combined stupidity and arrogance of Cali and NY that has been running the investigation and hearing farces we have been tortured with the past three years. After Schiff telling the American people via the Senate that they cannot be trusted to not vote for Trump, they are trying to interfere in our rights as voters by removing Trump from the ballot. I truly hope this is making a point for people, so that come primary and general election time, they will vote to dump most of the democrats in congress this year.

No, you MORON..... the Constitution sets up a system that is SPECIFICALLY designed to PREVENT that, and this was a key provision for forming our union of sovereign states.
These idiots really are tiresome with their endless, mindless whining about the Constitution.

The reason for the EC is just as valid today as it was at the time of our founding. Coastal factions should not control the Presidency- today we have even more reason to keep the EC--it makes election fraud overall more difficult by diffusing its impact to a few blue states. Makes it a lot harder to screw with 51 elections than it is to run up fraudulent vote numbers in coastal urban enclaves. Screw PIAPS.
