Do you really want to go through a national popular count, followed by a
national recount, followed by a national hand recount of 100,000,000 votes
to determine "voter intent?" Who would care about the vote in New Mexico,
Montana, ...
Hillary is not stupid. She knows that if she ever wants to run for
president that most of her support would come from New York, Florida, and
California and that she would have little chance if it depended on
electoral college votes from the south, midwest, and the small western
states. However, I do not want a president who has been elected by the
four or five largest states.
And now that I have had MY turn on this issue, I think that we should get
back to Sinclair business.
