Whoever our candidate is winning this year was going to be difficult, because after a two-term president it is common for the other party to win, but she did win the popular vote.
So what if she won the popular vote? She didn't win the election. In the system this country has always used to elect Presidents, Clinton lost. Keep fighting the battle you lost and you'll just keep losing more battles in the future.
And you seem to think, even after three months, that this was just some kind of unusual aberration and not merely the latest and most devastating in a series of election defeats that have handed the entire United States government over to the Republican Party. You don't even recognize the fact that there's a problem.
Quote:Trump is only president because a handful of Midwestern states went for him by extremely narrow margins. And that's one of many flaws in your case here -- Trump only won because of winning over white voters in those states, after running a campaign with a strong focus on exactly that audience.
The flaw in your case is that you think I'm only talking about the 2016 Presidential election... in which "the most qualified candidate ever" couldn't even beat a literal moron with a third-grade vocabulary, but Democratic candidates also managed to do worse than expected all across the board in all other elections. And that's just in 2016! Let's not forget that there are elections every single year at the local level and Democrats often don't even try to win them.
It wouldn't have mattered that much if Hillary had won. She would have been gridlocked worse than Obama and lacked the personal charisma to make up for it come re-election time because, as I can't stress enough, Democrats have virtually no power anywhere on any level of the United States government except in places where they are already firmly entrenched. Then we would have simply had 2016's nightmare delayed for four years.
Of course, if the Democrats don't get their heads out of their asses and actually do anything at all to signal that they've learned their lesson from this, you can look forward to more of the same nightmare then. This party has a crippling competency issue and have become a party of center-left reactionaries. And 'reactionaries' is the key word; Trump plays the Democrats like a fiddle. Every time he says something that makes them react with outrage and not very clever memes, he succeeds in distracting millions of people from what's really going on. Yeah, we get it, Trump's a pussy grabbing racist. If you think reminding everyone of the fact in 2020 is going to win any elections, go sit down and let's find someone else who actually paid attention to the election we just had.
Quote:So the question now is, when will the Republican Party finally cave and actually start seriously investigating Trump?
When they feel pressure from the voting public and not until. The democrats and left-wing media bring it up but refuse to focus on it as they should. So they have nothing to fear and have no reason to cave.
