electoral college has its issues but it ' s an even playground to both candidates . Both democrats and republicans have won elections under the electoral college system . They both had equal opportunity to earn the votes of people in states with an electoral college advantage . It ' s not like this system was added over night a week before the election started . The concept of swing states has been around for decades . <| sep |> While ducks can be very sneaky and dive , if you are a decent shot you should not have trouble retrieving downed birds . You shoot a duck , maybe shoot a second , then look at the water and swat one if it needs to be finished off . I hate to sound like an ass but if your brother has never retrieved a duck he needs to learn to shoot better and then be careful about finishing off cripples . Losing 100 percent of the ducks shot is completely unacceptable .
