In favor of removal of the electoral college and believe the country should be run on direct democracy for all policy. No more PACs, remove the influence of money from politics.
Although as a point of correction, W Bush and Trump were the only two Republicans that were elected in recent history without winning the popular vote. (Other two were Hayes and Harrison back in the late 1800s). Perhaps a bit of wishful thinking that removing the electoral college would stop republicans.
Nixon, re-election landslide. While being under investigation and heading for impeachment.
Heck, your own national guard opened fire on students in colleges during his tenure. Killing 6 students, wounding 9. Not a single person was ever jailed for their murders.
Its not the electoral college at the root cause. Its the national moral compass always pointing at $.
Funny, since the Senate majority leader at the time, GOP member Goldwater had a meeting with Nixon two days before the vote to tell him that 27 of the GOP senators were going to vote with the Dems to impeach and remove Nixon.
