After Trump was elected, there was an entire movement to abolish the Electoral College for no other reason than Trump won and Hillary did not, popular vote, yada yada yada. Thank the good Lord we are not a pure democracy.
The Electoral College was designed to protect the country from populist uprisings and democratic mob rule. Simply because historically, democracies tend to disintegrate into chaos before destroying themselves.
There are many reasons why the Electoral College is amazing, wonderful, and should never be abolished on a political whim. Think pieces, original intent exposes…they all make important points, but none so enlightening as this — the same people that vote for president also voted Taco Bell the best Mexican restaurant in the country.
So, if ever you wondered, THIS, THIS IS WHY WE HAVE THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
KMOV with the disturbing poll results:
The Harris Poll, a nationwide customer survey of their favorite brands, has released its 2018 results.The poll surveyed more than 77,000 customers in the U.S. on more than 3,000 brands to find which companies are the favorites among consumers.Respondents weighed in on everything from printers to pizza, and the results are surprising. Here are some of consumers’ top choices.Best Mexican Restaurant: Taco BellThe after-hours crowd is still probably Taco Bell’s biggest customer base, but the company has grown its popularity through creative ads like the Nacho Fries conspiracy theory movie trailers starring Josh Duhamel and a strong social media presence.The company has 7,000 locations and does nearly $2 billion in revenue.
In fairness, there aren’t many choices for a nationwide Mexican Restaurant, leaving Taco Bell with a distinct advantage.
But down here in Texas we have a fairly good gauge of how good TexMex will be — the further from Texas borders you venture, the riskier your culinary endeavor.
Taco Bell provides…food, that is TexMex in…spirit? And it’s also cheap, though not as cheap as it once was. But I guess nothing is these days.
