This is true, however with the electoral college in place, people running for President tend to only stop in select states that they know will count and don't really care about the rest, often taking it for granted.

You are correct ma'am. But that is still a lot better than if there was no Electoral College in the first place.

We have to remember how the Constitution was set up which has worked great for many years.

But, but... living document... dead white slave-owning authors... must legislate from the bench... judiciary must usurp role of Congress by making law... but but but...

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

What is a reasonable step though? It is not up to other persons to decide what is or isn't less optimal. It is not up to them to hand hold an idiot. We elected the idiot, and we reap what we sow. We will never learn otherwise. What is being done, is another aspect of a democracy eroding. This is a republic, not a regency. Persons behind the scenes co-presidenting, handholding etc is just as wrongly dysfunctional as the person supposed to be the president themselves.

I don't have an exact definition of a "reasonable step" but I'm sure all of you have been through a time where your bosses crossed a line and you felt like you needed to escalate the issue.

What this group of people think is irrelevant compared to the much larger group that voted for Trump. What they think is only relevant at the ballot box. Just like the rest of us.

I'm sure someone already mentioned this.. but most of America voted Hillary. 

 

Or shall I say.. America mostly voted for Hillary.

You mean conservatives don't like to live next to each other? 

I wonder why.

I took the map as conservatives not liking to live in close proximity to liberals, not choosing to avoid other conservatives

And who voted for these people that supposedly have the authority to over rule an elected president?

Most of the blue areas also happen to be liberal run crime ridden sanctuary cities. Hence the reason most conservatives dont live in these areas.

Sure. But I sure as heck didn't steal my boss' stuff and decide to co-boss with them in secret because the boss is too much of an idiot to notice, then complain about how morally abhorrent my boss is, but continue working for him out of some weird ego-centric need to feel gratified that my only purpose in life is to save America from that stupidity. Again, that's not a democracy. That's a regency, and not even a very good one. America did not elect this individual and others 'co-presidenting' into office.

 

It's like saying ''oh I totally helped that dictator butcher non-desirables, which upset me, but I made sure that he didn't do it too often because that is just gross and I reaaallly care, and I hang around because tax cuts are soooo cool!" Men of principles, moral men, do not lurk behind the scenes sullying themselves with more rot, whine about it, and think themselves so big-headed that *they* know what's best. It's complicity. Unethical. They should have never taken the job, and should have just as quickly exited the building ringing the alarm bells as they went.

 

It's one of the reasons why I remain very skeptical as to the validity of the op-ed. Something stinks.

 

Suffice to say we all don't want the president to throw a temper tantrum and hit the big red buttons. But imho, if he does do it, again.. one reaps what they sow.

And? Do you think the red on that map reflects the numbers? Because it didn't. There's a lot of red on the map in Maryland and many of those states. That means nothing, because the physical numbers of blue (represented by your tiny specs on the map) erase the red out. Statistically that map will change during each election cycle, and there's many reasons for it - as people move around to different states.
