Michigan where his get tough policies don't appease those who pander to the voters with money? Nevada where the Mormons made Romney a pretty good bet? Rudy's best shots are in all these primaries that are too late in the race. This is the horseshit system we live under, yet no one will change it because the nobodies win with it. All that money gets wasted in Iowa and New Hampshire every 4 years for no real reason.
Until we get ourselves back to a real democracy where national elections are decided nationally with no hocus pocus electoral college map and no nominating process forcing candidates to support corn and the church we will continue to see crap handed to us. We have no one to blame but ourselves. |
We are not a Democracy and never have been.. we are supposed to be a republic of free states.....It has eroded over time to what we have now....
Each state should weild the same power in electing representatives of each party.... Not how it is now....
But the electoral college is correct... No way a Pure democracy will ever work with the Buying of votes and such
