I See A Council Resolution Coming…..

Belmar Dems

oppose Electoral College

Think that Wyoming is too powerful and that California’s voice is too small.

There’s plenty of media out there with arguments in support of the Electoral College, but I just want to add that if we did scrap it we would have to give every state that benefits from it the option of peacefully leaving the Union. This is because the Electoral College was part of the deal when they joined the United States in the first place.  And to be consistent we would also have to disband the U.S. Senate since it is not perfectly representative of the population either.  On top of that we would need to prepare for every close election to result in the 2000 Florida type mayhem occurring in every state, in every voting district and at every polling machine in the country.  It would tear this country apart.  Maybe that’s what they want.

The balanced system we have has served us amazingly well for 230 years, but these babies now want to get rid of it because they’re mad that their candidate Hillary Clinton (who was widely expected before the election to benefit from the College) lost the election.  They just won’t accept that Trump won fair and square.  Please, is there an adult in the room anywhere?

Maybe teacher/Councilman Thomas Brennan, who is facing his own re-election challenge next year, can calm things down and show some dignity and maturity in the face of an election disappointment……..

Hey Tom, you are aware that Trump won in Belmar aren’t you?  I guess this is what you think of the majority of your voting constituents.

    No Councilman Brennan, we will finally end the whining of the “i am so cool, pierced earing-global warming, peace -at-all-costs, I am white- but-got-the-blues, government entitled and consistently misinformed ,”Green hypocrite jerks like you. I know I missed a bunch, but there you have it. You have clearly made your bed, now sufficate in it.

    So, we have a sexual predator president elect who bullies people, spreads hate and does not have the gravitas or knowledge needed for the job. And he lost the popular vote. The Electoral College should do some thing about that.

    PS: he’ll probably start a war and Draft your kids too

    The Wyoming votes are probably worth more because residents enjoy constitutional carry.

    I have heard that Trump has decided not to attempt to prosecute Hillary Clinton. Thank the Lord – I am jubilant. Now, possibly that hideous amoral pair will finally just disappear from the American scene.

    The President Elect might be sorry he did this. If he doesn’t know by now she doesn’t quit he may be sorry. I don’t think she is through with him.

    #6 Hopefully new blood in the FBI will pick up the slack and pursue the issue, and snarly Giuliani, if he obtains a key position. I think Hillary is just regrouping.
