Like I said, they'd either adapt or be replaced by another party that could compete. We've seen this sorta shift happen before. I don't buy that there wouldn't still be enough of a gap in popular opinion to warrant two parties if the EC was scrapped and we went with the popular vote. The difference in terms of culture and politics exists to a large extent even within states, not to mention on a national level.
