Since the Republican party became a national party in 1856, FOUR (4) Democrat presidential candidates have won more than 50% of the popular vote: Samuel Tilden, FDR, LBJ and Jimmy Carter. That's over 38 election cycles spanning 148 years, now. You can put lipstick on a pig, but ultimately, it's still a pig. When Democrats win the White House it's usually because there is a credible third party candidate that draws off enough Republican votes to give them a pleurality.
