Some on the left are trying to come to grips with the possibility that Donald Trump will win re-election next year. And what if Trump does indeed win in the exact way prescribed in the U.S. Constitution? It'll be a "real threat to Democracy," according to NY Times columnist Jamelle Bouie:

Dave Wasserman ~
My latest: how Trump could lose by *5 million+* votes and still win reelection (guess @Nate_Cohn and I are thinking alike today).

b-boy bouiebaisse (responses by NYT retard) ~
i still think folks are underestimating the danger of this outcome and the real threat it poses to american democracy.

my case for electoral college reform really boils down to the fact that it's simply not sustainable to have these wide splits between the popular vote and the electoral college.

americans have an expectation of one person, one vote, even if that isn't the reality. and two consecutive outcomes where there is significant divergence between the popular vote and the electoral college is the kind of thing that undermines people's faith in the system itself.

even if you buy the folk civics explanation that the electoral college is meant to give rural and less populated states greater or equal say over presidential election outcomes, there is a point where the divergence becomes extreme and anti-republican

This mental pygmy simply has NO understanding of American civics - NONE, ZERO, NADA.

The United States of America is not a Democracy - it is a Constitutional Republic, YOU F$&%#ING IDIOT.

Some of the responses to your moronic tweets are spot on ... 

Stephen Miller ~
Trump winning an election as declared by the constitution poses a threat to American democracy.

Seventeen, The Man ~
This just in: fair election results are a threat to democracy.

Physics Geek ~
Trump wins 49 states by 2 million votes (popular) and loses CA by 5 million because the GOP is almost extinct there. Obviously, f*ck the other 49 states amirite?

todd ~
You don't understand how the American Government works.

@WorleyClarence ~
We are a constitutional republic.

Norman P. Collinsworth ~
Is there a SINGLE real journalist left at the NYT? It's worse than Pravda.

John ~
you can always immediately disregard anyone who says things like this. The popular vote is not in the constitution, the popular vote is fluff. its the RBI of baseball. We have 50 state elections, not 1 national election. That determines the winner of the presidency.

Hey, b-boy ... if President Trump is re-elected fair and square by the rules (i.e., the Electoral College) laid out in The Constitution - THE LAW OF THE LAND - then Donald J. Trump will be YOUR President until late January 2025. If you want the POTUS to be elected by a national popular vote, then change The Constitution in a proper and legal manner according to the rules. You don't get to arbitrarily change the rules just because you had an emotional meltdown and sh!t your pants. Now ...
