MODERATORS
so it’s just an attendance issue that he won one and lost one, or fraud?
Trump lost the popular vote to Clinton by 2.9 million votes. He lost to Biden by 8.8 million votes. The last Republican president to win the popular vote was George W. Bush.
It's a Republican's best friend, the Electoral college. More people want progressive candidates, not regressive backwards criminals.
He was elected by the minority of the population, and with the help of a Senate that represents a minority of the population, appointed a third of the Supreme Court.
Minority rule is here.
With a more representative electoral system (like Ranked Choice voting) Republicans would be free to place a more moderate candidate as their first vote, assured in the knowledge that their vote would still count against the people they don't want in office.
More people voted for him in 2020 than in 2016
But far more voted for Biden than Clinton. Turnout was very high.
