Democrats Now Say Hillary Lost Because the Electoral College is …. Wait for it…..”RACIST!”
Unhinged Democrats have a new excuse for Hillary’s loss.
Gone are those phantom Russian Hackers, fake news, and angry white guys…..
Now, it’s we’re back to blaming the Electoral College, but this time because it’s……RACIST!
From Washington Examiner:
Democrats still mourning the outcome of last month’s election have added a new step to their grieving process: leveling charges of racism against those who support the constitutional method of electing the president.
In keeping with the process stipulated in the 12th Amendment, 538 electors representing all 50 states gathered on Monday to cast their ballots for the 45th president. The result – that Donald Trump will officially enter the Oval Office on Jan. 20 – was affirmed by the Electoral College, an institution the Left is now casting as racist and anti-Democratic.
Mere hours after Trump topped the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency, liberal filmmaker Michael Moore tweeted: “Hello rest of the world! My fellow Americans are asleep right now so I thought we could talk and maybe explain what happened yesterday.”
Then came his explanation.
“This racist idea, the Electoral College, 225 years later ended up benefitting the candidate who spewed racism hate,” he opined.
The New York Times, in an editorial on Tuesday, described the centuries-old institution as “a living symbol of America’s original sin,” arguing that it was created at a time when “slavery was the law of the land” and a national popular vote would have “disadvantaged” Southern slave states, where blacks could not vote but were counted as three-fifths of a person for the purposes of a population count.
“The whole point of the Electoral College was an effort by the founders to balance large states versus small states because of the fact that we are a federal republic,” Hans von Spakovsky, a conservative scholar of election law at the Heritage Foundation, told the Washington Examiner. “They were afraid that if the president were elected simply by the national popular vote, then candidates would simply go to the big urban areas and ignore the more rural parts of the country.”
According to Spakovksy, there is “absolutely no discussion” about designing the Electoral College to protect slave states in James Madison’s notes on the Constitutional Convention of 1787.
“Latching onto this claim, that ‘Oh it must be racism,’ is just ridiculous,” he said. “All you have to do is look at a map that breaks down the entire country by counties and you can see that Donald Trump‘s support was countrywide whereas Hillary Clinton‘s support was in very narrow geographical areas of the country.”

Okay…..is anybody keeping count on all the different reasons why the beast lost? I’ve honestly lost count ;}>
The lesbian, lying cunt lost BECAUSE SHE’S A THEIVING CROOK.
What will it be next? Oh I know the lying bias MSM will come up with another reason and headline it. The MSM has been attacking PEOTUS and his supporters since the election. They covered, lied and cheated and contributed to her campaign and since the lost they have continued! MSM is a liberal swamp that has been sucking up to OBAMA for 8 years and now the Dems/Liberals! Swamp that needs to be drained!!!
Excuses, excuses, excuses. The Dems are just making more excuses. Can’t accept that its their own fault.
I just don’t understand these liberal democrats. They are trying to come up with any reason they lost the election . They lost because the hard working people of America are tired of their ways. We are tired of 8 years of Obama and his policies. We are tired of being treated with hostility because of being a Christian. We are tired of seeing tax dollars keeping up illegal immigrants, we are tired of seeing tax dollars keeping up those that refuse to work. We are tired of having to defend ourselves for not being politically correct.i myself have worked all my life in the coal mines. I have raised 3 children one of whom is adopted and biracial so as you see I’m not racists. I am a Christian who stands on the word of God and will never accept the ways of this world. I do have the right to express my views but I would never try to shove them down anyone’s throat.
Michael Moore is a complete dufus. The electoral college prevents majority rule. Would he like it if we were to revert to a Jacksonian era and majority rules ? Or majority only in our presidential races but local or state Jim Crow-mob rule in those elections? Idiocy. Just his pizza lips flopping.
