That would make 58/136.2 or 42.5 % of avg number of people that vote on or near Medicare. I say go ahead to my politicians and screw with Medicare and watch what happens to at election time.

WHAT will happen? Instead of voting for him...the R...you'll vote for his brother...the D? NOTHING changes with Ds and Rs running the show. The "two" parties is mostly show. Stupid social issues, different industries...in the end they ALL make a ton of money...$10 trillion at least...just under the watch of O.

We can all thank the wisdom of those who saw the pitfalls, vulnerability and unfairness of the popular vote and came up with the electoral system.
Like it or not that is the way it works.
You all had your ride for 8 years so just suck it up.....and get ready for something to be done rather than just take up space in the WH.......in my humble opinion.

To be "fair" the EC would be ONE vote per state. Why does CA get more votes than 15 other states? It should get one vote. Do we still count blacks as 3/5ths? They get one, whites get one...each state should get one. Whomever wins the state gets 1 vote...you need 26 to win...OR in case of a tie...you count the popular vote and the winner takes it.
But it's ALL moot...the whole thing is fixed. Our "choice" is between 2 crooks. You can have what I have in my right hand or my left hand...nobody else. I don't own them.
Trump will borrow and spend and a lot of people will get rich. While the country becomes more and more fragmented as the minority majority grows.
