Its the best thing we can wish for because the Democrats are so loving inept that the only chance we have of getting a turn around soon is for them to nominate someone who's going to suppress Republicans and damage down ticket.

Ogmius815 posted:One thing that certainly could not happen would be to give "second place the win". To be elected president the constitution requires a candidate to have received a majority of all electoral votes. The whole thing sounds ripe for constitutional crisis. What if the Vice President is of the naturalized guy's party and counts the votes anyway because the other party has a majority of state delegations. Or the opposite, if the court refuses to rule and the VP decides not to count votes for the ineligible candidate but the naturalized guy's party controls congress and they refuse to accept his decision. God it'd be 1876 all over again. I guess historically the courts didn't get involved because 1876 was resolved by a congressionally appointed nonpartisan commission (which included some Supreme Court justices), maybe we'd do that.

Luckily they're constitutionally required to select among the top five on the Veep's list of EC vote-getters so they can't just choose Gohmert's Uncle Bubba (oh unless someone saw this coming and a faithless elector voted Bubba). Unless you mean the Tea-Party/Establishment split, which would become even more of a clusterfuck than normal because each state delegation submits one vote as a bloc it would be the shutdown crisis all over again but repeated within every single state delegation

So hey, totally no way that the business wing is cool with this latest outburst from Trump, right? Going full Hitler has to be the crossing line at which point a 4.6% tax cut isn't worth it, right? They will come out blasting him, rather than defending the idea as perfectly legal and dismissing the people pointing out it is insane as " treating it as a thoughtcrime", surely? Wall Street Journal: Did Trump Just Win? His Muslim-exclusion idea is likely to prove popular. quote:The Onion “reports” that “increasingly nervous local man Aaron Howe responded to Donald Trump’s call to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. Monday by once again stating this would be the end of the Republican frontrunner’s campaign, sources confirmed.” It’s the seventh time since June that the area man has offered such a prediction. The Onion is satirical, of course, but in real life a similar story could have been written about any number of people, including political pundits. ok then.

A quote from that article:quote:In court papers, Ms. Evenwel and Mr. Pfenninger said that they lived in “districts among the most overpopulated with eligible voters” and that “there are voters or potential voters in Texas whose Senate votes are worth approximately one and one-half times that of appellants.” Seems ridiculous to me. I live in NYC, and work with people from NJ and Connecticut. All of our senate votes are worth different proportional amounts. Isn't that the point?

They're talking about State Senates, which have been barred from having nonproportional representation since the 60's, because Alabama (of course Alabama) refused to redistrict for like 60 years to keep power away from the cities, and some states were being so loving ridiculous about it that the court ruled it undermined the requirement of a republican form of government. quote:In the New Hampshire General Court, one township with three people had a Representative in the lower house; this was the same representation given another district with a population of 3,244. The vote of a resident of the first township was therefore 1,081 times more powerful at the Capitol. Three people
