3. Killing Time Before She Departs

This is honestly why our political system is such a joke. Barbara gets up and tries to convince the repubs that the electoral college should be abolished. In other words, completely wasting her time.

Last time I checked, the repubs controlled both houses of Congress, and will continue to do so in January. While it's valiant to stand up and attempt to accomplish that which is impossible, it is also quite pointless.

The repubs won another election where they lost the popular vote. Why in the world would they EVER want to pass something which would hinder that in the future? Would the Democrats do that if the situation were reversed? Doubtful.
