Usually I avoid these 2, but that was fascinating and left me wanting more. There's a certain pleasure when repukes realize their golden goose is laying a big rotten egg.

Oh and thanks LC for this vid.

Trump is mentally incompetent of distinguishing between reality and his delusions.

People of good will from both parties agreed that DT is not fit, I am afraid our republic has entered its latter days.

and someone asked him about the Electoral College. I thought it should be eliminated too but he disagreed. I can't say specifically what he suggested but he basically said that constitutionally it would be very difficult to do and probably not wise in the long run. However he proposed a new idea (new to me anyway). I think he said that whoever wins the majority of the votes in each particular state could give that single vote to the Electoral College to represent them and their state. He also seems to think that our republic will survive due to the "young" people. I seem to recall it was originally aired on April 24.

because they have long participated in the lying, Trump is creating an alternative reality for political purposes. You can fool some of the people all of the time. With only 50% of the electorate voting, you need 25.01% to control the country. Maybe 10% are voting their own self interest. So he just needs to convince 15% or so that they can’t trust anyone in the media (but Fox News and talk radio) to tell them the truth. Demoralize the left, throw in a little voter suppression, some election rigging and you’re there. If, on some fine day, the left shows up to vote, this nightmare could be over.
