SANDRA SMITH (CO-ANCHOR): It's hard to choose where to go first here but there are a lot of calls from Democrats that are clearly showing that they want to change the rules. The Wall Street Journal wrote this editorial piece specifically on targeting the Electoral College this morning. And in that, Matt, they write, quote, "The electoral college helps check polarization by forcing presidential candidates to campaign in competitive states across the country instead of spending all their time trying to motivate turnout in populist partisan strongholds." What is the goal here and why are we hearing growing calls to change this particular rule?  MATT SCHLAPP (AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE UNION CHAIRMAN): Well, because the Democratic Party is embracing radicalism and socialism and Sandra, the reason why we have things like the Electoral College, which is in the Constitution, is because our founders believed that small states and rural populations should be just as important as the big urban areas.
