GOP's Electoral College Scheme
So, rather than adapt to a changing electorate, Republicans are going to try and win the 2016 election through procedural "reform"/chicanery. F yourselves with a rusty, AIDS-infected dildo, the whole lot of you.

How stupid. Bush v Gore was close, but can you imagine the outcry if the Dem won by like 15 million votes and didn't win the election because of these shenanigans?
Hey, GOP: don't like the current system? Join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. There's already lots of blue states that have signed on, we don't need many red states to make this thing a go.

I disagree...I like having the electoral districts get there vote counted for the democratic winner. I've advocated this for years.

Who are these "senior Republicans" or "Republican operatives?" That report is loaded with too much anonymity.
Anyhow, I don't like when Rs act like Democrats...or Chicago politicians.

Of course. If the U.S. ends up looking like your idea of what the U.S. should be, I'd rather see it nuked into distant memory.

Hyperbole? Hardly. I owe no allegiance to the United States just because they fly a recognizable flag. I won't adapt myself to every idea of the U.S. that might become popular. There are some ideas that I abhor and that I would actively fight against with whatever means I could gather.
I'm no huge fan of Thomas Jefferson, but he definitely got that idea right.

Granted, I'm unlikely to come across a nuclear arsenal at a flea market, so that much is hyperbole.

We'll it's still up tot he States regardless. I believe New Hampshire already does this. The only thing I'd like to see too is the splitting of California's votes. I think it's unfair and against the spirit of the Constitution, IMO.
