MSNBC host: If the Electoral College was not in the Constitution it would be unconstitutional

  Since the alt-left sky screamers first discovered in November of 2016 there was this institution called the Electoral College they have been calling for its demise. The Democrats in the Congress are naturally on board and the mainstream media likewise has been calling for its repeal.

  To properly repeal the Electoral College would take a Constitutional amendment but that is too time consuming for the Democrats so they have set in motion the National Popular Vote movement, but that is the subject for another day. This plan has been in the works for awhile but has gained steam now that the Democrats have lost one election.

  But speaking of the Constitution: MSNBC host Chris Hayes took to the air to slam the Republicans and deride the Electoral College as “undemocratic” and, in Biden-esque fashion, went so far as to say the Electoral College would be unconstitutional if it were not actually written into the Constitution.

“It’s basically this, do we actually really believe in democracy, right?” Hayes said. “The question before us now in the Electoral College question is, are we going to actually live up to the promise of one person one vote. Now, to be fair, it is not surprising the Republicans are defending the Electoral College, right. There’s a very obvious reason for that. Since 1992 we have had seven presidential elections. Republicans have won the popular vote one time, but they’ve gotten three presidents out of it which is a very sweet deal if you’re the Republican Party, right.”

“You can see why on just basic tactical grounds why the Republican Party would want to continue a system in which they can lose a majority of votes and still get all the powers the presidency appointing the Supreme Court justices and judges and signing legislation, vetoing legislation, commanding the army, everything, right,” he continued. “All of that with less votes than the Democrat got. No wonder they like. But I think there’s actually a deeper philosophical thing happening which is the question of what exactly American democracy is for. And the weirdest thing about the Electoral College is the fact that it wasn’t specifically in the Constitution for the presidency, it would be unconstitutional.”

  There you have it, how can you argue with that logic?

 The only thing I would add is I find it humorous that a man who does not understand the Constitution guarantees a  republican form of government is claiming the Electoral College is undemocratic. That was the point of it in the first place.
