5. Instead of Trying to Win Voters Over In The Next Election,

Republicans are trying to deny these same voters access to the vote. This was actually a fork in the road, a decision that the Republicans made at least three decades previously, when it was already clear that the demographics of the electorate were changing. Instead of doing the hard, thoughtful work of reinventing and recrafting the conservative message to appeal more to this more ethnically and socially diverse emerging electorate of voters, Republicans took the negative, anti-democratic path of cheating and voter suppression at the state and local levels. In 2016, an increasingly desperate Republican party, under the leadership of Don the Con Traitor Trump, even resorted to Russian interference to help them win the election. Now that Republicans are so set in this cheating and voter suppression path, it is very hard, next to impossible to get them to change their basic strategy. And all this state level cheating, corruption and voter suppression would have been impossible without the Electoral College. The Electoral College was basically a political compromise undertaken by the northern states to get the southern slave owning states to join the union - but could the framers of the Constitution have imagined that their compromise solution would have led to this total travesty of democracy? Even in the realm of politics and elections, karma's a bitch, baby!

7. Mitch thought he would always have all the power

Political power is like stock markets. When there is a bubble or a peak, there's no place to go but down.
