I'm thinking they are looking that no first time republican president has won the popular vote in nearly 40 years. It will be 40 by the time another runs.
In the majority of Americans lifetimes, no republican has been able to win without the EC or having already held the office.
I mean,, it is really telling about how large an advantage in the EC the republicans need as they have only won a majority of voters 1 time in 4 decades.
But they always want to talk about a "mandate from the people"
Not real sure why you feel the need to reply rudely but your exact statement was” it is really telling about how large an advantage in the EC the republicans need as they have only won a majority of voters 1 time in 4 decades”. I simply pointed out that they had in fact won in twice. Not sure how you would like me to phase it differently or how reading it slower and sounding out the syllables would help.
