The combined age of House Democratic leadership is 233 years.

House GOP leadership is 153.

It’s time for the Dems to look to a new generation for its leadership.

BREAKING:
We're now less than 100 electoral votes from a national popular vote. States with 172 electoral votes are committed to a national popular vote, and as soon as that number reaches 270 we'll get one. It'll be hard to imagine a Republican ever winning the presidency again.

2/ In the last 25 years, Dems have won every popular vote except 2004—and Republicans winning in 2004 required Ohio's Republican Secretary of State deliberately creating 9-hour voting lines in majority-minority Ohio precincts so that George W. Bush could win Ohio by 50,000 votes.
 
I'm sure the 46 states will concede all power to elect the executive branch leader to by/cali/florida/Texas real fast

You're delusional.

I would laugh at this (perhaps the greatest campaign spot in history) if the guy behind it hadn't done time for being so hostile to safety regulations that 29 people died in one of his mines.

Joe Arpaio, Roy Moore, Don Blankenship. All viable candidates in Republican senate primaries. Seriously. WTF.

States aren't "conceding all power" just acting on the realization that the 21st century has no place for the Electoral College

This has been a trend for a while now.

2010 Christine O'Donnell in Delaware.

2010 Sharon Angle in Nevada.

2012 Todd Akin in Missouri.

2014 Richard Mourdock in Indiana.

In all four cases, those races would likely have gone the other way if the GOP had not nominated such deeply flawed candidates.

Its absolutely a concession of power nad it will never happen.

But once illegals aren't voting anymore the Dems won't win fake elections.
 
You laugh but that piece of s--t Blankenship is making a late push. WV is lost in a time warp right now. Coal is dead and yet they don't care about the planet they live on.
 
would he even be the worst turd burglar(and I mean this both literally and figuratively) in Congress? There are some real monsters on both sides. I hear he is getting propped up by democrats hoping he will win the primary and make for an easy general election win. I hope it backfires and he wins both just like 2016 all over again.
 
Technically yes, in the same way that a lot of politicians have blood on their hands. Atleast he actually served time. I watch killers with little regard for human life walk free all the time.

I am a Virginian but live so close to the border that I was born in WV, I will be mostly interested in seeing how the vote breaks in this area. People here still see coal as a viable career even though those of us that have moved into the 21st century know that's not the case and we should be worried about the planet and environment. Having said all of that, before Trump these voters would not have even considered Blankenship because of his involvement in the accident. He would have been told to stay in Nevada.
 
The Trumpier the Republican party gets the more likely the party is to split when things go south. The pendulum will swing back the other way like it always does. I think all this is mild compared to the chaos if Trump wins reelection.
 
That should be noted as in WV only. Like I said they are hellbent on sinking with Trump. That is not news. It has been happening ever since a black man became President. For a state born out of the desire not to want to be part of the South during the war, it has during the Obama years showed a lot of its darker roots. Sad to say but it is a truth.
