This posting is all about analysis of the Framers’ thinking when they created what became known as the Electoral College. It doesn’t mention any “modern” candidates or events. The writer strains to dismiss the concern as “soupe du jour,” but anyone who’s followed this blog knows that I’ve written about problems and myths of the Electoral College since 2006 through every election cycle. <br /><br />The commenter reveals her own political bias with the word “left-wing.” That strongly suggests that, along with most of today’s American right, she’s hoping for rescue from the Electoral College right now because she knows her candidate can’t win the consent of the governed. <br /><br />In sum, this comment is a tiny temper tantrum from someone who can’t stand to see historical facts or political opinions she disagrees with, and she’s just smart enough to feel shame if anyone could attach her name to it.
