if there was no electoral college, republicans would
obviously campaign very differently. so there’s no way of knowing what would have happened if there were no electoral college. it’s not the GOPs fault that they do a better job of responding to the mathematical
realities of the electoral
college, then democrats. hilary chose to stay out of Wisconsin. that’s her fault, not trumps fault. someone should
tell the democrats that appealing to
more and more californians and new yorkers at the expense of voters in swing states, isn’t a great play.

i’m fully aware of what you posted. i totally agree that the 50 gop senators represent fewer people, and therefore the electoral math favors republicans in presidential
elections.

now, you said gerrymandering and the electoral college is all that keeps the gop relevant. please explain how the gerrymandering and electoral college helps the gop win senate races or governorships, BOTH OF WHICH ARE STATEWIDE RACES?

you can’t comment on this. nor can you comment on the fact that according to the Gallup poll
done every 4 years, more americans said they were better off after 4 years of trump than after 4 years of any president Gallup has polled. i keep posting that, and all of the lefties pretend they didn’t read it, because you have no response.

i can accept all facts you post, even the ones i don’t like. you cannot ever respond to anything that doesn’t favor liberalism. Why is that?

Most Americans liked trump’s
policies, but they hated trump. I also fall into both of those categories. I will not deny that trump was an awful human being. but you’ll deny ( more accurately, ignore) that americans liked his policies.
