    They're called "Representatives" for a reason.
    He barely won this year. He's already got 2 primary challengers for 2020 (both of which suck, but know better than to make explicit the normal dog whistles.)

            If there's maybe one sliver of a silver lining in the Chump Presidency, its that anybody who's not part of the treasonous money laundering cult we call "Republicans" starts taking elections seriously. All elections from Prez all the way down to dogcatcher. Last year's midterms were a positive sign. The cult came out in force, but GOP still got smoked even with partisan gerrymanders everywhere.
            When we vote we win. It's that simple. There are far, far more of us than them. We just need to vote. At the moment we need to win by 8 points because of Jim Crow II but we can even do that as 2018 showed.

            Win everywhere in 2020, scrub them off the state legislatures, restore voting rights and undo their gerrymandering, and make them the purist regional racist party they so long to be.

GOP strength was 70's and 80's where they won 49 states twice (72,84), 40 states once (1988) and another blowout win in 1980. Once that era passed, from 1992-2016 Dems are 4 out of 7 with 3 blowouts (92,96,08) and one solid win (12). GOP had two razor thin wins (00,16) and one solid win (04). Things ain't trending the GOP's way so screw rural racists. No point in trying to appeal to them as it'll be a fool's errand anyway.
                Dude.... bubba won in 92 with 43% of the vote. Very easy to see if Ross the boss wasn’t there, 41 would have repeated.

                Again, forty three point oh %
                14,000,000+ more votes cast for the other guys.

                  Very easy to see if you're drunk maybe! Perot took about 20% of the vote. He hated Bush with a passion. Highly unlikely his people vote for Bush when he spent the whole campaign running against Bush. Politics 101 is if you are an unpopular incumbent, get two challengers in the race to split the anti-you vote. 2 out of every 3 Perot voters would have had to defect to Bush in order for him to break even with Clinton.

                  Math is mookie's friend!

                    So rover sayin all the “you people, your people” voted for Ross?

                    Those were all angry wall voters. “If you see a snake, you don’t seat a committee on killing snakes!”

                      So in one thread mookie sez not winning popular vote don't matter if you're elected, BUT in a different thread he sez 43 % ain't good enough (but 46% apparently is).

                      Umm...okay? With those different standards for a Republican vs a Democrat, it wouldn't surprise Rover if mookie worked for CNN!

                        mookie is dyed in the wool which means wishful thinking > reality.

                          nooooo.

                          mookie offered that worrying about national popular vote is a waste of time.

                          then...

                          mookie discounted rover's silly statement that pulling 46% was impressive (ahem, blow out -- pun intended mookie's sure ).

                          apples and oranges.
                          you've been wrong before (massively wrong at that ). it's ok, we still like that you're here
