None really, except that you get hyper advertising and spending on election in like 15 out of the 50 states, so the rest of the country feels super disenfranchised, why even go to Iowa/ND/SD/MT when it's got less votes the the NYC metro? "Real America" loses out.

Fair point. That does seem the only viable argument (though flawed).

Stipulating all of this, how or what exactly could Clinton have done or promised that would be different than what Trump promised? If the ACA needs massive reform, how do you express that in any way that's significantly different than "We're gonna replace it with something great…so great….it's gonna be the greatest thing…you're gonna love it..."

What specific jobs or industry would have returned besides "all of them?"

Basically, I'm going the long way around to asking what I asked earlier:



At a certain point, if you turn over your life savings to the Nigerian Prince-in-Exile, it's on you, not the annoying lady who thinks you should put some money in your savings account.

If you're telling the truth you can't, it's a hosed up system that needs reform but democrats are afraid to do that and upset the status quo. Or you come out like Bernie and pledge a single payer system/medicare for all under a certain income level/tax increase if you're over it or whatever system you can come up with.

Industry would be things like solar plants but they got a really bad wrap over the last 8 years so it was economically unfeasible, promising to build more nuclear power plants to get america off oil hurts your base because they are retarded.

If obama ran on ACA with the foresight that it would raise premiums for most people because of the details he'd never have gotten elected. What I'm saying is you lay out grand plans, then figure out how much you can do, which is exactly what Trump did, but there's a lot of bad poo poo that comes along with Trump from his stump speeches.

e: Obama was good at the 'hard pill to swallow' talk, but the country was in a literal crisis so it's different.

It was also seen as a firewall against the public but it hasn't been that since like right after the civil war i think

"Because the role of the president was so important, most of the framers thought that the people couldn't be trusted to elect the president directly. Instead, they should elect electors, who would convene as a "college of electors" to consider the available candidates and pick the best man for the job."

It's based off Reps + Senators

So

Not until they increase Reps by Congress action: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apportionment_Act_of_1911

Constitution itself gives Congress the power to set the # and allocation of Reps
