@SteveHullfish @larainenewman Yes - but that's up to each state. Good look getting red states to agree to do that. On the contrary - Nebraska republicans are looking to undo the split. They failed this year but barely.

[David Simon @David_D_Simon]

@larainenewman Get rid of electoral college? Constitutional Amendment unfortunately. However, can expand court by simple act of Congress but that would almost certainly require eliminating the filibuster.

@_mantwi @lxeagle17 Because any idiot who claims to break to Trump because of that intentionally miscontrued comment was always a Trump voter and just bullshitting you as to its effect on them.

@MediumSizeMeech Putting aside the jokes . . . Broadway actresses do this in one take 8 times a week . . .

@KevinNegandhi I am not, never have been and never will be an Eagles fan - generally the opposite for my entire life. But damn - that was beautiful . . .

[David Simon @David_D_Simon]

@stacycay I completely get it. The better the news looks the last few days the more the PTSD from 2016 sets in. Direct correlation . . .

@LeftwardSwing @hook922 @2PercentChilla @NickKnudsenUS @StrictlyChristo So explain what happens when a third party candidate wins some electoral votes . . . let's see how much you understand since you're complaining about things being undemocratic . . . Fine -you win. You have legitimate 3rd party candidates who actually compete. What next?

[David Simon @David_D_Simon]

@2PercentChilla @NickKnudsenUS @StrictlyChristo Remember-because our Constitution requires 50% the two party system is baked into it. No matter how you look at it - a third party candidate removes your choice. They either win no electoral votes and act only as spoiler. Or they get some and negate everyone's vote.

@SmitdoginBoston @quadcarl @mmpadellan Are you saying the ENTIRE population of Dixville Notch turned over in just 4 years??

[David Simon @David_D_Simon]

@thefarbod @quadcarl @mmpadellan Why do you assume it's not the same people? Had the entire population of Dixville Notch turned over in 4 years??

[David Simon @David_D_Simon]

@EricLevitz As with the filibuster - removing that is a less extreme step than what Republicans did with the Supreme Court - particularly when they pack it with activists who routinely act as super-legistlators.

[David Simon @David_D_Simon]

@EricLevitz And that small state protection is not a positive thing so long as gerrymandering is allowed. The House no longer represents the population of their state overall as intended.

[David Simon @David_D_Simon]

@EricLevitz And as long as gerrymandering is allowed - the system is broken as the House has basically been turned into the Senate with minority rule.

@IanSams I'm sorry - hard to take any poll seriously that has Harris losing women to Trump over the past month even if still double digit lead . . .

[David Simon @David_D_Simon]

@MikeSalvatore10 The problem isn't next year or the year after, it's what do they do after that. I still say at this point you have to bring him back despite the likely downside down the road.

[David Simon @David_D_Simon]

@TalkinJake I don't even know how to talk about them. They were the best team and the worst team at the same time which is a pretty hard feat to pull off. They beat themselves more often than other teams beating them.

[David Simon @David_D_Simon]

@KFILE No-people realize nothing. And can the media stop making the electorate more stupid by continually asking presidential candidates about enacting laws. Sure - presidents can influence but we've miseducated the whole electorate into having no idea what the role of the presdident is

[David Simon @David_D_Simon]

@JoeConchaTV So she was once in 20 years. Now do other pollster records…..

[David Simon @David_D_Simon]

@MaxMannis The Judge drop in particular. I didn't hear anything on the broadcast with the catch probability but I'd have to assume it's over 99%. That's a 1/1000 drop. And have to believe it shook them enough to contribute to the next two errors.

[David Simon @David_D_Simon]

@TalkinYanks That ended up being a 5 run error . . .
