"Strangely, your observation still has nothing much to do with what I wrote."

I'm exactly on point. You allege that Rudy can win with pro-abortion because Clinton won and he, well, HE is 'wildly popular'.

I specifically addressed the false dichotomy of that assertion.

When the Republicans stick to their guns, 525 electoral votes are possible. When they don't then the democrat candidates are indeed anointed as 'wildly popular' by the drive by. Where you err is in the belief that they would equally anoint a Republican as such, regardless how liberal he is.

No, it;s not on point. Typing out a fact of the 1984 election results isn't an argument, it's just a fact.

Like I said earlier, someone can win or lose an election by any margin and be wildly unpopular or popular at a later date. One doesn't have much to do with the other, necessarily.
