MSNBC host rages after seeing polls showing Trump leading, calls Electoral College a ‘suicide pact’
Chris Hayes called the Electoral College “a wildly dangerous institution that undermines democracy'
MSNBC host Chris Hayes fumed over new poll results showing former President Trump as the favorite to win the Electoral College and therefore the presidency in November.
On his X account Friday, the "All in With Chris Hayes" anchor blasted recent poll results from famed pollster Nate Silver showing that Harris would most likely beat Trump in the national popular vote if the election were held today, though Trump would win the Electoral College.
"It’s clear as day the Electoral College is, to quote the great Justice Jackson a national suicide pact," Hayes posted.
The media pundit’s statement referenced a quote from Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson, who wrote in 1949 that the Supreme Court "will convert the constitutional Bill of Rights into a suicide pact" if it doesn’t balance its "doctrine logic with a little practical wisdom."
Hayes seemed to be using the quote to suggest that the U.S.’s commitment to deciding presidential elections using the Electoral College system – which progressive Democratic lawmakers believe is obsolete – will needlessly result in the catastrophe of Trump returning to the White House.
The poll Hayes expressed frustration over was Silver’s latest election model, which was shared by finance journalist "Geiger Capital" on X on Thursday.
In his post slamming the Electoral College, Hayes said it is "a wildly dangerous institution that undermines democracy but also creates all manner of Rube Goldberg machinery to be attacked by bad actors."
Hayes provided a link to his MSNBC segment defending Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., after she was blasted for calling the Electoral College "a scam." During the segment, Hayes ripped the Electoral College as a system as "outdated" and an institution Republicans keep because "they fear deep down that they are in the minority."

Given the way the leftist scum have systematically weaponized the Government against the enemies of leftism over the past 16 years at least, I think it behooves those of us on the right to stop being the "bigger man" that turns the blind eye to the CRIMES of leftists, for the sake of "extending an olive branch" to a group of "people" who would return no such courtesy to us.
As an example, this:
"It’s clear as day the Electoral College is, to quote the great Justice Jackson a national suicide pact," Hayes posted.
...at the very least reeks of a level of Constitutional illiteracy that should disqualify this ****wit from ever speaking publicly again - out of sheer shame and humiliation, not any of us forcibly removing his microphone from him.
But in the context of the surrounding statements, I think a fair argument could be made for compelling Mr. Hayes to defend himself against charges of TREASON against the Constitution, and given all of the innocent people who have been held without bond, trial or benefit of defense counsel on far more spurrious charges related to January 6th "Insurrection", I think there's ample justification for bringing those charges to trial at the earliest practicable opportunity.

It’s really no surprise. The MSM is firmly entrenched in the democrat party and will spout their propaganda as directed. The “news” is only what they want you to hear and spin it in the direction they want. The anchors are not journalists they are talking heads and insert their opinions and lies as if they were the truth.

:crybaby:
Is Hayes so very less than optimistic of Kammie's chances that he broadcast a preemptive whine? :rotf: :tongue: :loser:
The Electoral College and having two senators per state was by design, to "undermine" populous states' ability to oppress and exploit less populous states. If these are succeeding in this purpose well enough to PO this tyrant-wannabe, it is working as designed and well.
