    I can show you the part of the Constitution that guarantees knuckle-dragging mouth-breathers the right to advertise their willful ignorance.

    Can anybody show me in the constitution where it says any irresponsible mentally ill @$$h*le (25% of Americans, in other words) has the right to “bear arms”?

    Now you show me anywhere in the constitution that says the people get a vote at all.

    Can conservatives show anywhere in the Constitution that says an Air Force is allowed ? No ? Then, having an Air Force is clearly Unconstitutional.

    The lesson here, grasscrawler, is that a constitution written 240 years ago FAILS to keep up with life since then. Also, the original Constitution said that US Senators would be appointed by state legislatures. That was CHANGED in 1913, to popular vote in each state.

    So, the stupidity of saying if the slave owning 1%ers in 1783 failed write it down, it cannot be done now, is utter willful ignorance, which is a thing to be ashamed of, not to be proud of.

    If it doesn’t then what is the point of even having a vote at all? The constitution was built for the people of America, not a small group of rich assholes who claim they know what the people want when in reality they do whatever helps their pockets in the end. Let’s see how you feel when your candidate wins the popular vote yet loses the election. You’ll feel the same way.

    No, but I can show Donald Trump won more representatives and representation of Americans than Hillary Clinton. Trump won 30 states, Trump won over 2,600 counties to Clinton’s almost 600 counties. Trump won way more precincts and districts than Clinton.

    The American people spoke and Trump won

    304 to 227 electoral votes.

    =====STRAW MAN ALERT=====

    THIS QUESTION UTILIZES THE STRAW MAN LOGICAL FALLACY IN WHICH THE OPPONENT'S ARGUMENT IS DISTORTED TO MAKE IT EASIER TO REFUTE.

    Phony Liberal Argument: Liberals claim that the constitution gives the presidency to the candidate who wins the popular vote

    Actual Liberal Argument1: If you win the presidency but lose the popular vote you don't have a popular mandate and that makes your victory less powerful

    Actual Liberal Argument 2: State laws should be changed to award electors proportionally based on votes.

    Actual Liberal Argument 3: State laws should be changed to award all the states electors to the person who wins the popular vote nationally.

    Liberals have argued all three points, but no liberal actually argues the point you make in your question.
