    That led me down a fun rabbit trail. I could have sworn Clinton had one Dem flip. Also learned Andrew Johnson was a National Unionist/Democrat and not a Republican.

    I actually don't have a problem with the Limbaugh medal - the GOP has drafted off of the bigotry espoused by Limbaugh and his ilk for years, let them do the "dirty work" while they keep an arm's distance to remain "Presidential." At least Trump is finally acknowleding the guy's impact on the party.

    And most of the Democrats simply didn't want to hear his nonsense.

    Rural areas are vastly over-represented. We have millions of more people on our side but have less voting power than large, empty masses of land.

    You can't escape the math. No matter how many people live in California or New York or Florida, the realities of a 538 ceiling and a 3-electoral vote floor --- even for a state with six people in it --- means the populous states will never grow their electoral vote total to representative levels.

    So get used to it. Or start moving to places with masses of land. Or quit losing EVERY OTHER type of election where rural areas don't have any advantage.

    Or expand the Congress to the level of representation it was when the country was founded

    It’s already happening in Georgia and Texas.

    If you switched the rules of the game parties would change how they play the game.

    such a bullshit, self serving statement. The republicans haven’t changed their method or manner of presidential campaigns since the Southern Strategy.
    Which is why the republicans and especially trump were hypercritical of the electoral college leading up to the 2016 election?
