Isn't that against the law. I hope they do it and then find out they can't and whomever did is gets in hot water.

I'm pretty sure if re-elected the left will still claim he didn't win due to the popular vote

The funny part is it's not like Trump would win the liberal cesspool of Rhode Island anyway. Why should they care??? The derangement is causing way stupid stuff by the lefties..

Excellent. More should follow. Con men should not be allowed to hold office.

California already did that with their primaries, no longer highest vote getter from each party rather two highest vote getters, GOP is effectively dead in CA. I wish TX would do something like that and end the democrat party in TX.

No kidding. The Organizer in Chief pulled one of the biggest con jobs in American history with the "Affordable" Care Act.

Quote:former George W. Bush speechwriter David Frum said, "When highly committed parties strongly believe things that they cannot achieve democratically, they don't give up on their beliefs — they give up on democracy."
Democrats won't give up on democracy. It's too central to their identity, and their commitment to democratic norms and processes is also their point of greatest contrast with Trumpism.
Instead, Democrats will give up on conservatives. They will give up on Alabama and Mississippi, on Kansas and Nebraska. They will explore ways to divorce their culture, politics and economy from Trumpism and from their fellow Americans who support it.
I don't know exactly what that would look like. But liberals have a great deal of cultural, academic and economic heft, stretching from Hollywood to Harvard. Just this week, some Hollywood powerhouses flirted with leveraging their clout against the Trumpist Fox News. There are endless variations on such a power play. If Democrats opt to use their power more aggressively — breaking rules — Schaller's soft civil war hardly seems unlikely.

Actually, they are probably afraid he would win. There's a strong blue collar streak in RI. Trump only lost 54-39.

Alabama did that to Truman in ’48 and LBJ in ’64. Made no difference whatsoever, in the overall scheme of things.

Liberals have economic heft mainly because conservatives consume what they sell. Let conservatives boycott Hollywood and all of a sudden those huge profits become hopeful break evens. Just look at the earnings of those art house movies consumed primarily only by woke libs.
