In the final Trump-Hillary debate, the media acted with shock and horror when Trump proposed he just might not accept the results of the election.
My, how things have changed. The same media that was shocked and horrified then, has not uttered a single peep about preposterous petitions to overturn the election.
Instead, we see laughable antics by Michael Moore and Lady Gaga.
Electoral College Results Unfair?
Even if Michigan is overturned, Trump will still have 290 electoral college votes to Hillary’s 248. More than likely, the result will be 306 to 232.
It’s unfair, scream the socialist left. They are wrong.
James Madison, key founder of the constitution, and fourth president of the United States, and widely recognized as the “Father of the Bill of Rights” has this to say on democracies and mob rule.
Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths. Theoretic politicians, who have patronized this species of government, have erroneously supposed that by reducing mankind to a perfect equality in their political rights, they would, at the same time, be perfectly equalized and assimilated in their possessions, their opinions, and their passions.
The Constitution was designed, on purpose, so that big cities could not rule the nation, so that big states could not overpower the rest of the country.
