I began my day today thinking about the genius of the founders of these United States. My thoughts went directly to the electoral college and the genius of that alone. That subject was stimulated in me because of the news that Hillary Clinton is now traveling the world preaching the political gospel to the Europeans blaming our founders idiocy for creating the electoral college that she now claims lost her the election for the Presidency. Except for the "idiocy" part, Madam Hillary was finally right about something.
Now for the genius of the electoral college. Hillary Clinton is a walking, talking perfect example of why the founders created the electoral college. They did it so that the states with the most population could not control the Presidency of the United States with a majority popular vote and thereby leave the less populated states without a representative in the White House motivated to give a bleeping crap about them. In such a popular vote scenario, in modern day America the electoral college vote is even more necessary than it was in the days of our founders because, the popular vote from the states along the two coast in America would own the Presidency and those lesser populated states in the middle of our country would never have a friend or promoter in the White House, i.e. the population of our nation in our costal states is in a vast majority as compared to the rest of our states. Hillary Clinton would have won the election for the Presidency by a humungous landslide and the farmers and shop keepers and factory workers in the middle of the nation might had just as well stayed home on election day never to be represented by a President that had any motivation to give a flying bleep about them.
If I have to decide between the mental genus of todays party hacks and politicians and the mental genius of our founders, the OLD BOYS of yesteryear win every time! Besides, the popular vote can be and has been at times a bleeping mob rule known as a "democracy."
