Some in Nebraska have tried‚ and ultimately failed‚ to change the way the state awards its electoral votes and bring it in line with 48 other states. Among those in favor of moving away from a proportional allocation to a winner-take-all system is Donald Trump‚ which led Comedy Centrals Desi Lydic to label him a pathetic worm on Thursdays edition of The Daily Show.Lydic is also not a fan of the electoral college itself‚ as she claimed‚ The president is decided by the electoral college‚ the incredibly overcomplicated system that our founders came up with as a prank on future generations.It really is not all that complicated‚ Lydic just doesnt like it because she views it as disadvantageous to liberals.Still‚ Lydic elaborated‚ Most states award all theirelectoral votes to whoever winsthe state‚ but Nebraska splitstheirs up by district.And in 2020‚ that meantJoe Biden received an electoralvote from liberal Omaha.Because as it turns out‚ everystate has a Brooklyn.But now Donald Trump hasrealized that he wants thatvote‚ and that could make allthe difference.Lydic then played a montage of clips about the news‚ the last of which was of state Sen. Megan Hunt‚ who claims to be an independent‚ declaring that Pathetic worm Donald Trumpthinks that he knows what';s bestfor Nebraska and whatNebraskans want [jump cut] but this man [jump cut] obviously wants this electoralvote because he';s so scared hecan';t win the presidency withoutit.Hunt is the kind of independent whose Twitter bio reads‚ in part‚ Bi queen. She/her. Free Palestine. Shes also a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.As for Lydic‚ she feigned outrage‚ Excuse me‚ ma';am‚whatever happened to decorum?That';s formerPresident Pathetic Worm.After further lamentations about how a change could cost Biden the election‚ Lydic urged that the electoral college be done away with‚ Nebraska should really‚ truly keep thissystem‚ though‚ because it';scertainly a more fair way todivide up electoral votes thanwinner take all.In fact‚ what if every statesplit up their votes likeNebraska by district‚ or maybeeven by person‚ you know. Then‚ whoever wins the mostpersons would be the president!Meanwhile‚ over at CBS and The Late Show‚ host Stephen Colbert was also lamenting possible changes to Nebraskas system‚ Trump himself is taking everyangle he can to try to weaselhis way back into the WhiteHouse.He';s even pressuring the stateof Nebraska to change how itawards electoral votes.Always a bad sign when yourcampaign strategy is to bullyindividual states.He further declared that Nebraska';s electoral systemmatters because many believe theelection will be so close it could be decidedby the single electoral vote from Nebraska';s second district. Okay‚ in other words‚ this isa complete and total Colbert was then interrupted by writer Brian Stack. Colbert and Stack have a recurring gag where the latter pretends to be unaware that Colbert is taping. This time the bit was that the two dont know enough about Nebraska to offer up a good punch line‚ but Stack showed a little self-awareness about the shows audience‚ We';ll put our noodlestogether‚ get ya somethinggreat.Big laughs‚ major joke‚ write-up in HuffPo for sure.I';ll be back in one hour!Here are transcripts for the April 4 shows:CBS The Late Show with Stephen Colbert4/4/202411:40 PM ETSTEPHEN COLBERT: Trump himself is taking everyangle he can to try to weaselhis way back into the WhiteHouse.He';s even pressuring the stateof Nebraska to change how itawards electoral votes.Always a bad sign when yourcampaign strategy is to bullyindividual states.";Hey‚ more like old Hampshire‚you dusty bitch.Now‚ gimme all your electoralvotes‚ and go back to 69-ingVermont.Oh!I bet Ben and Jerrylike to watch.";Nebraska';s electoral systemmatters because many believe theelection will be so close it could be decidedby the single electoral vote from Nebraska';s second district.
