true, but its the damage he does that is what bothers me

he has a pulpit with which he is brainwashing a large segment of the population and most aren't smart enough to ask for a second opinion

this is why the media is so dangerous with people like him

I don't think he understands the point of two houses of Congress.


I must be slow today...can someone explain this to me?

California has 53 representatives in the House. Or one out of every eight representatives in the house is from California. Utah only has four total.

He should also realize that Wyoming has 1 representative.... so approximately 0.2% of the number of representatives

They list him as Indian, American, but he was born in Mumbai and attended school there, until going to university in the U.S.? WTF?

At least I, foreign born, attended 3rd - 12th grade school here. I do not have a PhD in Government, but my grades 3-12 and BA in Poli Sci, taught me the whole purpose of the Senate with 2 per state and the House based on Census data.

I see no 'structural problem'. In fact, I'm against the 17th amendment, because it changed the calculus where by the 'state' was represented via its legislature voting for the Senator(s), as opposed to opening it up to the popular vote to do so.

I'm sure Mr. Zakaria sees a structural problem with the Electoral College too.

Perhaps he should read the Federalist Papers, instead of worrying about international relations. Learn about how our Federal Government was set up and why first. Then worry about the new world order, whose purpose it is to undermine if not outright eliminate the U.S. Constitution.

Wait until he finds he was also wrong about the population in California. It's not anything near 70 million.

What a fucking idiot.

That was funny. But true. He's a true hater, he hides it behind a suit covering up a deceptive imitation of intellectualism. Every once in a while he accidentally lets his hatred slip through the facade he puts on tv. I wish he would go back to the hole he emerged from. He's a left wing elitist shithead for sure, putting it nicely.

Bankrupt states should get no senatorial representation.
