Dick Morris is very afraid: A horrible pundit’s “popular vote” hysteria

[DonViejo]

In his wingnut bubble, the last thing any Republican should want is for everyone in the country to vote. Here's why

It is widely acknowledged that Dick Morris is the worst pundit in America. It’s truly not up for debate. He’s so bad that even Roger Ailes was embarrassed by his hilariously wrong predictions in the 2012 election and let him go. (Karl Rove was said to be similarly fired but turned back up on the network almost immediately. Morris did not have his contract renewed.) But Morris is the quintessential “wingnut welfare” king, a man so entrenched in the right-wing infrastructure that it literally doesn’t matter how wrong he is about everything, he will continue to be gainfully employed as a pundit by someone. And his stock is sure to rise if Hillary Clinton runs for president — he’s made a tidy profit for years riding on his rep as a Clinton “insider” from back in the ’90s, regardless of the fact that he is, of course, always wrong about everything.

Morris is best understood as the top pundit in DC Comics’ Bizarro World of Htrae, a cube-shaped planet in which everything is opposite of what we know as reality here on Earth. (Opposite of Htrae, get it?) Take his latest offering in upside-downism: He claims that in their latest nefarious vote fraud scheme, George Soros and his Democratic minions are preparing to steal elections from Republicans by having states adopt the national popular vote to determine electors in the Electoral College.

Yes, you read that right. Using the national popular vote to determine who wins the presidency would be stealing elections. Let that sink in for a minute.

3. Darn tootin'! Red states should be electoral winner-take-all,

and blue states should have a split electoral vote. That's how the GOP defines a fair presidential election.
