Hillary Clinton ridiculed for attacking Republicans for having a strategy to win presidential elections by winning the Electoral College



Hillary Clinton was lampooned for attempting to vilify Republicans for attempting to carry out the alleged crime of trying to win presidential elections by winning the Electoral College. Numerous online commentators pointed out the basic civics lesson that the presidential candidate that wins the Electoral College – not the popular vote – wins the election as long as the candidate has at least 270 electoral votes.

The Financial Times published an interview with Hillary Clinton on Friday.

Interviewer Edward Luce told a story about how he promised his 9-year-old daughter that Clinton would prevail over Donald Trump in the 2016 election.

Clinton responded that she had heard numerous similar stories. She claimed that the 2016 election is like a "work of fiction set in modern times and 2016 is a traumatic event — it’s almost eschatological," which means a "belief concerning death, the end of the world, or the ultimate destiny of humankind." She then called the 2016 election a "piece of unfinished business."

On the subject of Roe v. Wade possibly being overturned, Clinton remarked, "The level of insidious rulemaking to further oppress women almost knows no end." Clinton added that if Roe v. Wade is overturned, it would make "The Handmaid's Tale" writer Margaret Atwood a "prophet."

"She reminds me that she won the popular vote by nearly 3mn but lost the electoral college by 78,000 votes," Luce wrote. "Biden won the popular vote by more than 7mn but barely scraped the electoral college by 43,000 votes."

Clinton reacted by saying, "That tells you everything you need to know about Republican strategy for 2024."

The Financial Times promoted the interview with Clinton on Twitter.

"In terms of Republicans' strategy for 2024, she believes they will focus on winning the electoral college, given the size of the Democrats’ victory in the popular vote in the past two elections," the official Twitter account for the Financial Times tweeted.

The Twitter reactions slammed Clinton for knocking Republicans for attempting to win presidential elections by winning the Electoral College.

Columnist T. Becket Adams: "Does Hillary still not understand the rules of presidential elections?"

National security adviser to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) Omri Ceren: "It's obviously none of my business, but I'm not sure 'Republicans are going to try to win the electoral college' is cutting edge content."

Editor David Rutz: "Seems like a sound strategy to try to win the Electoral College."

Writer Jeryl Bier: "And the Democrats, meanwhile, will focus on the popular vote so they can continue to complain about the Electoral College after they lose?"

Commentator Jim Treacher: "Yeah winning the Electoral College is how it works."

Kentucky State Rep. Patrick Flannery: "Really bold strategy! Why didn’t I think of that?"

Attorney Damin Toell: "So the 2024 strategy is to...win the election?"

Laura K. Barr: "Was…was this not her strategy too?? it all makes sense now."

A Twitter user mocked: "In terms of strategy, if the Yankees make the World Series, they are going to focus on winning four games instead of scoring the most runs in the series."

After losing the 2016 presidential election to Trump, Clinton called for the Electoral College to be abolished.

"I think it needs to be eliminated," Clinton said of the Electoral College in 2017. "I'd like to see us move beyond it, yes."

Mark Levin warns: We CANNOT allow the Left to abolish the electoral college



A recent Washington Post editorial titled "Abolish the electoral college" the Washington Post editorial board argued that "the electoral college, whatever virtues it may have had for the Founding Fathers, is no longer tenable for American democracy."

BlazeTV's Mark Levin warned that abolishing the electoral college would mean that America's cities would control the government, which in turn means that Democrats would control the country. Alarmingly, this nightmarish scenario is just one Senate seat away from becoming a reality. As Mark explained, if the Democrats win both of the two Senate runoffs in Georgia, the Senate's 100 seats will be evenly split between Democrats and Republicans with the deciding vote going to the vice president. And if that vice president is Democrat Kamala Harris, the Democrats will almost certainly destroy the electoral college, and with it, our future as a constitutional republic.

"I've told you many, many times that this is the objective of the Left and the media, which are one and the same, because by abolishing the electoral college, the cities … all these heavy population centers, will control the government, meaning the Democrat Party will control the government," Levin said.

"What they [Democrats] are saying is what I've been warning you about," he continued. "They don't want to represent republicans and they don't want to represent areas that they do not control ... and the fact is, if they destroy the electoral college and do all these other things they want, we won't live in a republic, certainly not a constitutional republic any more. That's why Georgia is so crucial. If we lose Georgia, by one vote — because the vice president of the United States is the president of the Senate and breaks all ties — you'll have a 50/50 Senate. Kamala Harris will sit in that chair, she will rule over the Senate. Biden will rule over the executive branch. Pelosi ... will rule over the House. They will pack the Supreme Court. There will be no where to go, and then they're going to enshrine, as they did in California, their permanency as a party."
