If you take out Los Angeles and New York city, the Republicans have won the popular vote in every presidential election since 1948.

“No chance Trump wins the popular vote.”

No chance it means anything.

Nope, Trump will not be permitted to run. He will be shut out or somehow eliminated long before the convention. Lots of Republicrats are on the take. Corruption in politics is endemic and has evolved into a leach upon the national body.

He won the popular vote in 2020 and look what happened. If the 2024 election is allowed to go forward look for a rinse and repeat.

If they take out Trump I think they get Abbott or Noemi. Both are more disciplined politicians and would be very hard to beat.

Should Trump win the popular vote, the tables would INSTANTLY change, and the MSM would be all talking about how the electoral college is a BRILLIANT idea.

I’m certain President Trump broke records by getting over 100 million real votes while Biden’s actual number was around 35 million. So it’s a double shame that that record will be lost to history along with the positive movement America lost when the usurpers stole it with manufactured ballots over votes.

If they try the same BS again I don’t believe the public will tolerate being bent over and raped again when the fleece is no longer over their eyes.

At one level, the issue is winning the Electoral College. The Donald did that in 2016 even though losing the popular vote by 2.1 points.

The polls are now pointing to the Donald winning the popular vote (but possibly with less than 50 percent because of third party and independent candidates). Should he win the popular vote, he will certainly win the Electoral College. Probably, he’ll win all or almost all of the “battleground states,” the three crucial states of 2020 (AZ, GA and WI), and the other battleground states he won in 2016 (MI, NC and PA) and maybe also MN and NV, which last two states eluded us in 2016 but not by much.

Why does an outright win in the popular vote and a big win in the Electoral College actually matter? These matter because of our system of checks and balances. We want to take control of the Senate and increase our majority in the House. For sure, we want to pick up Senators in AZ, MT, OH and WV. There are additional possibilities in MI, NV, PA and WI, and potential possibilities in MD and NJ. This could be a very big year for Republicans.

Republicans are collaborators, not “cowards”.

But there is still a God in heaven.

True. Biden will never be better than he is right now. He can/will only get worse. By Fall he will be a lame duck, with someone else running on the rat ticket.

I fear you are right. Libtards will stop at nothing to keep Donald Trump from becoming POTUS again.

Read my tagline.

This is yet another of hundreds of indicators that they KNOW they can’t steal the election again, that Trump likely won the PV last time.

“This is yet another of hundreds of indicators that they KNOW they can’t steal the election again, that Trump likely won the PV last time.”

Yes, I agree. I look for clues and this is definitely one of them. In 2020 they did all their old tricks times a hundred, and added a few new ones. But a lot of them were exposed to the general public for the first time. They tried to cover it up with their “false claims of election fraud” talking points ad nauseum.

But political winds change, and their pedal to the metal leftism is going to bite them back. We’ll see how much they’re rejected. I hope it’s enjoyable.

I don’t disagree with you which is why I don’t think there can be an election in November. It will get stolen and this time its doubtful civil.can be avoided.

Back then I think it was only Nebraska and Maine. I think it still is like that.

We need to all keep focus on ensuring President Trump is both motivated and sufficiently enlightened to bring with him 50 Mighty Men & Women, a flamethrower, and a Terminex van when he comes in. This is it. We won’t get another shot if he fails.
