    Trump lost two elections by a combined 11 million votes. He lost the second one by five more million than he lost the first one, after four years of people being turned off by his BS. What makes you think he's gotten any more popular with anyone except his nut-case base since he lost the last time? Hopefully he'll be in jail.

    We have no idea how much voter suppression/discouragement/election officials refusing to certify anything but a Trump win will matter yet. It’s possible Trump gets even fewer votes and wins.

    The popular vote perhaps should be the preferred method of presidential selection, but it's not. Trump won one of the elections and absolutely lost the other.

    It's like saying Basketball Team X lost 44 baskets to 41 without acknowledging that 10 of the 41 were 3-pointers, while none of the 44 were.

    We can guess at what might happen if it were a straight popular vote, but we don't really know because candidates don't campaign for a pure popular vote. It doesn't matter how much a Democrat runs it up in California. It's worth what it's worth.

    They know Covid is the biggest issue and disingenuously will claim it’s the economy to sink any agenda until they’re back in power.

    A movement that will risk death to see its leader regain power will say and do anything.

    I bet there are a few folks in Congress that are feeling a bit queasy this afternoon.
