"When you leave those damn kids alone in late summer session look at the trouble they can get into.
The Michigan GOP has decided to try and make sure that the winner of the 2016 election in the state, Donald Trump, could never duplicate that feat again by supporting the National Popular Vote Initiative.
What is the National Popular Vote Initiative? Sounds harmless right?
According to the website it simply wants to…
The National Popular Vote bill would guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Actually, it shreds the United States Consitution...
...The video listed below from Prager university does an excellent job in under 5 minutes of explaining this.
So how does this effect a state like Michigan?
In the Presidential election of 2016 when Donald Trump faced off against Hillary Clinton, she won the popular vote according to 270 to win
Clinton 65,845,063
Trump 62,980,160
Trump 62,980,160
Difference 2,864,903
Yet Trump won the electoral vote 304 to 227.
This meant that Michigan, Iowa, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin were in play for the first time in decades.
Had we just gone with the popular vote than the vote totals in California would have sealed the deal for Hillary.

Califonia totals were according to politico
Clinton 7,362,490
Trump 3,916,209
Trump 3,916,209
Difference 3,446,281
Califonia alone would have decided the election and all those states in the south and midwest would be set aside for the states on the coast with the most population.
The electoral college made both candidates focus on the issues that are facing Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa which are much different than California.
So why in the world would the Michigan GOP be lining up for something that would have ensured that Donald Trump would not be President?
Well, a free trip to Hawaii wouldn’t hurt. According to the Detroit Free Press…
A group backing a major change in the way the president is elected took a large group of Michigan Republican lawmakers on a free trip to Hawaii in August...
...Stop trying to shred the Consitution.
And pay for your own trips to Hawaii.
