Steve Bannon Quotes

[LogGrad98]

Are we STILL crying? It is over thank goodness. You sound as happy as I that it is.

You know why we have electoral college an 2 senators per state but unequal representatives in congress? It is to balance power from the large cities overpowering the smaller states. This is simple history do they not teach this in schools to you pups any more? All I hear from [MENTION=499]LogGrad98[/MENTION] is popular vote popular vote popular vote. I know you are a smart guy loggrad an probably have a reason but all I see is people forgetting history an dooming us to repeat mistakes.

I know you're a troll but what the hell. I actually proposed changes to the current electoral college, including proportional division of electors, that would make the popular vote more relevant. I also said I would support going to a full on popular vote as well. But done change needs to happen IMO so we don't have electors voting for John Ewards anymore.

Good thing that's not what anyone is saying.

Also HAHAHAHAHA. Senators are already popular vote for the people they represent.

That is exactly what is being said by cappy an loggrad98. Small states an rural areas should not matter. They should be ruled over by large cities who have different lifestyles an problems an can not relate. Do away with the electoral college so we can force are way of life down you uneducated rednecks throats.

Might as well do away with congress an make everything a popular vote.

Also the Pentagon and State Dept are reporting that they have yet to be contacted by anyone in the President Elects team.

Also lawl [MENTION=4486]Boris[/MENTION] keep beating that drum buddy.

I do not know anything about that but one think I do know is if popular vote mattered democrats would never win a election again. You know how many big city republicans do not vote cause they know it is futile? What was the turnout in Utah? Like 1%?

Screw it let us go to popular vote on every candidate. You all saw the map. Trump won like 90% of the counties. Imagine if we engage voters in big cities. 90% plus picks up extra support from disenfranchised Californian an New York republicans.

You and I agree that the election should be based on popular vote. Your proposal about using electoral unless it disagrees with popular is bizarre, though. Why have electoral in that circumstance?

Actually his proposal was to get rid of the electoral college/votes. He just said that if that couldn't happen then use the popular vote if its a certain amount more than the winner of the electoral college.

 

[fishonjazz]

The way I read most of this popular vote nonsense is getting rid of every state, local, an city government.

You read it wrong.

We are simply talking about electing the president. not governors, mayors, senators, congressmen or whatever else you think is being discussed.

Carter. But let's get honest here I don't see the Ds upsetting incumbents either. Reagan, Clinton, Bush Jr. and Obama all got re-elected.. Carter and Bush one are the last two incumbents to lose.

Bush jr won his first election when there was no incumbent running. Clinton was in for two terms and the presidency was open. He did lose the popular vote though.

 

[fishonjazz]

Changing from electoral votes to popular votes wouldn't really make much of a difference. It would just make much more sense, be less confusing, and make our country look less stupid.

Roosevelt, jfk, clinton, reagan, etc would have still won the presidency. Bush would have lost (would have been nice not to go to war with iraq... maybe 911 never happens and the middle east isn't as bad and maybe there are less terrorist organizations out there and less terrorist attacks) and trump would have lost. (I think in a few years we will all wish he would have lost)

Seems like the country would be better off if we went with the popular vote.

Bush jr won his first election when there was no incumbent running. Clinton was in for two terms and the presidency was open. He did lose the popular vote though.

My point was that incumbents usually win regardless of party. An incumbents defeat has only happened 2-3 times in the last 100 years. So it's not a party specific problem.

An excerpt from a conversation between Trump and Bannon:

Last November, for instance, Trump said he was concerned that foreign students attending Ivy League schools have to return home because of U.S. immigration laws.

“We have to be careful of that, Steve. You know, we have to keep our talented people in this country,” Trump said. He paused. Bannon said, “Um.”

“I think you agree with that,” Trump said. “Do you agree with that?”

Bannon was hesitant.

“When two-thirds or three-quarters of the CEOs in Silicon Valley are from South Asia or from Asia, I think . . . ” Bannon said, not finishing the sentence. “A country is more than an economy. We’re a civic society.”

the irony of Steve Bannon's white supremacy is that he's got to be the ugliest mother****er I've ever seen in American politics
