How big of a vote gap would it take for you to drop the Electoral College?

The point wasn't an intelligent one. You contradicted yourself, which is what I was pointing out. Also, you're either/or scenario was illogical.

I am basing my statements off of the Constitution. The president does not oversee the governors, the position is not the leader of the states. The president is the executive in charge of the federal bureaucracy. That's what the Constitution says. As for how and why the EC exists and works, we have hashed that out throughout this thread. You're choosing to ignore that is noted and your dismissal of any actual evidence is discouraging.

And here we see you devolve into personal insults. My guess is that you actually lack a firm foundation in your understanding of the writings of the founders, democratic theory, and how our government functions. You're not alone in that. I only suggest that instead of being blindly dismissive of the people who have studied this and done research on the topic, that you ask questions. Closing off your mind to knowledge is never a good thing.
