Electoral college has always been the goalpost.

If you want landslides try doing it this way.

That's what I'm saying.

Should be easy to defeat somebody like Dubya or Trump, in a landslide but people don't BELIEVE our candidates are SINCERE.

This is how you prove sincerity, by selecting the TALENT needed to carry out the priorities you proclaim to promote.

What do we have to lose?

Afraid to tell people you want a reasonable person in the SCOTUS? Why be afraid to name a few?

I sent this to the Yang Campaign today.

If somebody sends this to Romney, our nominee might get chumped in the GE if they aren't ready.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Undecided
