Bush. Licthman stands by that prediction). Licthman tells CNN's Michael Smerconish that his system predicts President Donald Trump will lose the White House this year. #CNN #News

The Electoral College, explained
Why some Americans’ votes count more than others.

The 49th episode in a very long series about the American presidential elections from 1788 to the present. In 1980, Ronald Reagan seems unstoppable as he tries to "make America great again."
The 49th Presidential election in American history took place on November 4, 1980. As President, Jimmy Carter faced quite a few obstacles, and things just weren’t all peachy. The country faced low economic growth, high inflation and interest rates, and an energy crisis, in which the prices of oil went way up since supply went down in certain areas. This shortage was partially caused by the Iranian Revolution of 1979, in which a new Islamic government hostile to the United States overthrew the old one.
And this soon led to the Iranian Hostage Crisis, in which 52 American diplomats and citizens were held hostage after a group of Iranian revolutionaries took over the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. Carter tried applying economic and diplomatic pressure on the Iranians to get the hostages released, but ultimately, by the time the election rolled around, he was unsuccessful freeing them.
As Carter sought renomination by the Democratic Party, he did face challengers. His leading opponent was Ted Kennedy. This was the toughest primary race a sitting President had to go through to seek his party’s renomination since President Taft sought renomination in the election of 1912, which as you already know ended up splitting the Republican Party. Carter and Kennedy were in a tight race, and some people tried to get Edmund Muskie, who was now the Secretary of State, to run against them, just to break apart the deadlock between the two. It didn’t work, but Carter had more delegates than Kennedy going into the convention, and he won renomination, with Walter Mondale also re-nominated for Vice President.
Ronald Reagan was easily the favorite to win the Republican nomination, but he did have several opponents. Like George Herbert Walker Bush, the former CIA director and Representative from Texas, or this dude. John B. Anderson, a U.S. Representative from Illinois. Anderson stood out among the crowd of Republicans because of a great debate performance against his other Republican challengers. He eloquently expressed himself and said things none of the other candidates dared say, like saying that lowering taxes, increasing defense spending, and balancing the budget could not all happen at the same time. After this, Anderson got a lot of media attention.
Still, no one could take on the popular Ronald Reagan, who it seems had been preparing for this moment for a very long time. Reagan got the nomination, with Bush as his running mate.
Meanwhile, Anderson had decided to leave the Republican Party and run as an independent candidate, mostly as a centrist, or as the moderate guy who argued that Reagan was much too conservative and Carter much too liberal. Patrick Lucey, a former Democratic governor of Wisconsin and Ambassador to Mexico in the Carter administration, was Anderson’s running mate.
The Libertarian Party by this time had started to gain some momentum. They nominated Ed Clark, a lawyer who had previously ran for governor of California as the third party candidate but lost. David Koch, a businessman and engineer from Kansas, was his running mate. Koch is one of the now famous, or infamous, depending on who you ask, Koch brothers. Koch pledged part of his personal fortune to the campaign.
The two front runners, Reagan and Carter, were neck and neck. Reagan ran a campaign of optimism, while Carter’s campaign seemed to be more negative, attacking Reagan for being too far to the right. Reagan called for more military spending, while at the same time calling for a smaller government. Wait, what? Carter’s campaign had to defend the Iranian hostage crisis, support for the Equal Rights Amendment to the constitution, which was supposed to guarantee equality for women but by 1980 was not as popular, and a struggling economy.
Not only that, but when the League of Women Voters invited Carter to debate both Reagan and Anderson, Carter turned it down because Anderson was invited. So the debate was a bit weird, with just Reagan and Anderson going at it. Anderson was polling at around 20 percent at the time. After the debate, Anderson’s poll numbers dropped, and the League asked Carter again to join just Reagan this time for a debate one week before the election. Carter accepted. The debate had really high ratings, and by most accounts Reagan dominated, even though his campaign may have had access to Carter’s notes preparing for the debate ahead of time.

In the 2000 US presidential election, the Democratic candidate got half a million more votes than the Republican. The Democrat lost. Sixteen years later the same thing happened again. In the US, if you run for president, it does not actually matter how many people in the country vote for you. What matters instead is an arcane system for selecting America’s head of state called the Electoral College.
The Electoral College is the reason the US has something called “swing states,” and it’s the reason those places get to decide the future of the country. It’s the reason presidential candidates almost never campaign in the country’s biggest cities. And more recently, it’s also the reason that Republican candidates have been able to eke out victories in the presidential election without actually getting the most votes.
The Electoral College makes some Americans’ votes more powerful than others. In fact, that’s part of the reason we have it to begin with; in the country’s early years, the Electoral College helped give the votes of Southern Whites more weight than the votes of Northerners. The idea at its core, that certain votes simply matter more than others, is baked into the American tradition. In our elections, it decides the winner.

Very excited to have Harinder Singh back on our show again. He serves as the Senior Fellow, Research & Policy at the Sikh Research Institute (SikhRI). He is a widely respected educator, activist, author, and thinker. His current focus is on developing critical thinking for Sikh institutions via the State of the Panth report series and developing open-source decoding of Guru Granth Sahib in contemporary Panjabi and English for a global audience.
He has also authored Emperor-Prophet: Guru Gobind Singh Sahib, Guru Granth Sahib: Its Language & Grammar, and Sikhi: Faith & Followers. Harinder Singh holds a BS in Aerospace Engineering, MS in Engineering Management, MPhil in Guru Granth Sahib, and a Diploma in the Persian Language. He currently resides in the United States with his family.
In this episode, we cover topics like the Guru Granth Sahib, Guru Nanak Dev Ji's teachings, Guru Angad, the 10 Sikh Gurus, understanding the 5K's, and much more.
REAL Motive Behind the Succession of Guru Nanak Dev Ji By Harinder Singh. Enjoy the episode.

In which John Green returns for a dystopian new season of Crash Course Literature! We're starting with George Orwell's classic look at the totalitarian state that could be in post-war England. Winston Smith is under the eye of Big Brother, and making us think about surveillance, the role of government, and how language can play a huge part in repressive regimes.
