MSNBC host rages after seeing polls showing Trump leading, calls Electoral College a 'suicide pact'

[FoxNews] MSNBC host Chris Hayes fumed over new poll results showing former President Trump as the favorite to win the Electoral College and therefore the presidency in November.

On his X account Friday, the "All in With Chris Hayes" anchor blasted recent poll results from famed pollster Nate Silver showing that Harris would most likely beat Trump in the national popular vote if the election were held today, though Trump would win the Electoral College.

"It’s clear as day the Electoral College is, to quote the great Justice Jackson a national suicide pact," Hayes posted.

The media pundit’s statement referenced a quote from Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson, who wrote in 1949 that the Supreme Court "will convert the constitutional Bill of Rights into a suicide pact" if it doesn’t balance its "doctrine logic with a little practical wisdom."

Hayes seemed to be using the quote to suggest that the U.S.’s commitment to deciding presidential elections using the Electoral College system — which progressive Democratic politicians believe is obsolete — will needlessly result in the catastrophe of Trump returning to the White House.

The poll Hayes expressed frustration over was Silver’s latest election model, which was shared by finance journalist "Geiger Capital" on X on Thursday.

Describing the model, the X account stated, "Just like that... Trump — 52%. Harris — 47%. Trump is now back to being the favorite in Nate Silver’s election model. Harris is favored in the popular vote but an Electoral College underdog. It’s largely due to Pennsylvania (where she passed on Josh Shapiro for VP)."

Look at the deeper hidden issue.

All it takes is 1 LIBERAL controlled Administration to remove it, and adjust your rights according to what they want and what they feel you should be required to know and do also.

Remember, they have the MSM/NEA and etc. re-educating the Smartphone generation on a daily basis.

#2 Without the Electoral College, you'd have only about 62-63 counties controlling the Presidential elections.

#3 The ignorance about the Constitution abounds. In its basic form, the Constitution is agreement of shared common interests among 13 sovereign states. It was ratified by the states, not by popular vote. The states were not interested in dissolving themselves for the concentration and centralization of power that the commies seek.

#6 "Dominion" will be used to generate whatever vote count the Dems find necessary, just like in 2020.

Given, it's been hacked and publicly acknowledged as such, since 2022.

Leaked voting machine BIOS passwords !

Or The Atlanta Court discovery

A joke code update example floating around
def countVote(vote):
if vote == "Trump":
if random.randint(0,100) < 75:
vote = ~~"Biden"~~ "Harris"
return vote

#8 This stooge championed an outcome where we “elected” a senile man and a VP so much worse than the senile man that no one wants to see her take over for him. Now we face the possibility of electing Kamala as President with her VP giving everyone a Jerry Sandusky impression. Yet the electoral college which might prevent their coronation is, somehow, a suicide pact.

#9 The Dems cheat so much we will never know the true count of the popular vote.
