Minnesotans For Rule By California!

Yet again, Democrat representative John Lesch – along with some well-meaning but deeply mistaken Republicans – is pushing legislation to scrap the electoral college and adopt  “California Rules America”.

The legislation is actually called the “National Popular Vote”, but let’s be honest (Lesch being a DFLer, he certainly won’t be); what it means is subjecting the fifty states to being ruled in perpetuity by California, New York and Illinois.

For what little it may be worth, I will be turning whatever bully pulpit I have on any Republicans who support this legislation.  I urge you to do the same, once the various voices shake out on this issue – and when they do, I will be making sure you know.

For the record?  I have nothing against a national popular vote – provided secession is also legalized and made relatively simple.

    The mantra of the movement will be Californication – bend over, we’re driving! I think Derek Brigham can come up with a nice graphic for that – but nothing he could/would admit to publicly.

    It would be just too funny if this lunacy was passed, then in 2018 the GOP candidate got the popular vote and won. Then again, the occurrence of such an event, may cause liberals to give up.

    Wonder who will tell Sen Bernie Sanders that if he wanted to be consistent in his criticism of the Electoral College, he should ask that his vote in the Senate be valued at the percentage of his states population (0.2%)?
    PS: Wonder if they will tell him this in his $575,000 vacation home or one of the other two houses he stole (my eight year old nephew told me ‘property is theft’).

    Didn’t the DFL pass a law when they controlled the MN Legislature that would’ve made Minnesota follow California Air Quality laws?

    There is nothing well meaning about scrapping the EC. It is the reprobate left working towards an Oligarchy. It must be crushed with *extreme prejudice*, and that means crushing anyone, especially turncoat Repubs, that are working on it.

    Besides, hasn’t everyone had enough of Garafalo by now?

    Replacing the electoral college with the “popular vote” is wickedness.
    Every state will be incentivized to increase its vote total by fair or foul means.
    And to what purpose? The goal of the left is isn’t democracy. We know that. They will do everything possible to stop votes on policies where they are in the minority.
    There is no magic about 51% vs 49%. Virtually all of the states that currently support the multi-state compact are liberal — California, Washington, New Jersey, New York, Maryland, etc.
    There. Is. No. Reason. For. This.
    Was Hillary trying to win the popular vote or win the electoral college?
    She was, of course, trying to win the electoral college. She lost because she was a crappy candidate who ran a crappy campaign.

    So happens I’m in North Mexico Los Angeles right now.

    What. A. Shithole.

    It’s no wonder these people are so fucked up. Living piles like rats has got to be tremendously damaging on human psyche.

    I thought everyone was in favor of Calexit. Count me in too.

    The new “motor voter” law in Cali asks you to affirm you are a citizen by checking a box on a form, and the affirmation does not count for anything other than registering to vote. This is, purposely, an invitation for illegal aliens to vote.

    Numbers: Without CA and NY, sTrumpet is up 3MM in popular vote count. That’s a 6MM vote swing! Them Founding Fathers were pretty smart cookies!

    ARJC Estos esfuerzos son muy apreciados…oh wait, that’s right English spoken here.

    The illegal immigrant community in California has much more political clout than the beleaguered Republican Party. Attempts to curb the abuse of our electoral system are either Rickrolled, gas lighted or shouted down as Raciss and teh bigotz.

    I think this state is a lost cause, seriously.

    ” and Illinois.”

    Actually just Chicago. The people in Illinois are already P.Oed about being ruled by Chicago.

    Actually, Chicago might not be a threat in a very short while:

    Illinois loses more residents in 2016 than any other state

    If the system is so bad that an unqualified disaster can come in a close second on the popular vote (as the Democrats believe), we have more problems than the electoral college. It is entirely possible that if the goal had been a popular vote win, Trump would have clinched it by rallying California and East Coast Republicans and independents. Hillary outspent Trump 3:1, and got 48.0% percent of the vote to Trump’s 46.6%.
    You want a mandate? The Democrats have been losing elected offices all the way down the ballot since 2008. The GOP holds a record number of the states. The Dems were thrown out of congress — the most Democratic of the federal government’s three branches — in record numbers in 2010 and 2014. Where the dems dominate is in the federal bureaucracies and the federal judiciary, the least democratic aspects of the federal government.

    Hillary’s popular vote win was pumped up by California, which is like 60% Mexicans.

    I might not have minded Rule By California back in the days when that meant Cary Grant and Marilyn Monroe – glamorous people living on pedestals.

    I’m not the slightest bit interested in Rule By Mexicans.

    If I wanted that, I’d move to Mexico.

    Joe, it’s worse than that. Rule by Mexicans would be much more desirable than the most likely outcome: Rule by Lena Dunham and Amy Schumer.

    Great. Just what this country needs. The next close election, a national recount, with hyper partison lawyers in every country and town in the country trying to change the vote counts.

    Calif is determined to learn a hard lesson, it appears. Swiftee is right. There appears to be no avoiding the high velocity and the denseness of the brick wall Californians are destined to dash themselves into. The splat you hear will be the souls of millions of innocents pleading with God to make the liberals see the light.

    They won’t.

    The liberals killed the state in the 80’s. Today, they’re officiating the burial.

    Rest In Peace.

    Your timeline is correct, Stink. When I was a kid in the 70’s, the lunatics were corralled into just a few streets in San Francisco, but they spread like a virus.

    By the end of the 80’s, anyone not planning on a personal Calexit was doomed.

    I got the fuck out of here in the nick of time, let me tell you.

    Swift: My internal clock says it’s time for you to take the Greyhound out of Minnesota.

    Anywhere south.

    Don’t ask questions and don’t look back.

    Stink, I’m safe, sound and happy as an can be in the deepest South of South Carolina.

    You can find my house easy; it’s the one with the Bonnie Blue flying out front!

    DMA, you could build a standup routine out of that which would make you wealthy as hell.

    And I’m now in Virginia! We should have SITD Southern Division – comprised of frozen-again Minnesotans who just couldn’t be forced to endure one more bigger arctic vortex. It’s a movement.

    Let’s roll.
