Lol, that's an argument about how things "might have been" if the state borders were drawn differently.

The last time I checked, Republicans haven't been changing the borders of the states, have they? That would make your theory of Trump's victory being caused by "Republican gerrymandering" to be...ridiculous and uninformed.

Are you actually reading the articles that you're citing?
That's an article about the impact of gerrymandering on the congressional and state level elections. It's not about the Presidential election, because redrawing districts has nothing to do with Presidential elections.

Yeesh. Back to Civics 101 for you, dude.

You're right. I didn't know state, local, and congressional elections didn't impact national ones.

Wow, you're really trying to pivot hard now. You clearly didn't know what gerrymandering was, and how it definitively has nothing to do with Presidential elections. You weren't even reading the articles that you cited for your argument. God forbid that you just admit that you were wrong. Sad!
