That's not how the system works is it, other Presidents lost the popular vote but won the election.

I believe he's asking how low a percentage of the popular vote can a candidate get before it's virtually statistically impossible to win enough electoral votes.

I wonder if anyone has done a study on just how far a candidate can sink in the popular vote and yet win the presential election. Trump managed it by over 2 million votes last time.

 

Another part about the USA that I don't understand is how fragile their democracy is, given that it has been around for a few hundred years. It seems to be so easy to gerrymander (have you seen the shape of some of those counties!); even the members of the electoral college do not have to vote for the candidate that the majority in the state voted for! There seems to be no effective control on money in politics - the government of the USA works for the lobby, not for the people. Even the Supreme Court is subject to dark money in the form of "friends of the court," namely attorneys who address the court on one side or the other. Unfortunately, the general public do not get to see who is paying some of those attorneys who squirrel away looking for some hook in a law which could be used to declare it unconstitutional, thereby taking away anything like medical cover for someone, a woman's right to choose whether to continue with a pregnancy or your rights as a consumer. Apparently the dark money spent on these "friends of the court" amounted to $250million - not peanuts. And what about the power of Governors to reduce the number of drop ballot boxes so that people in certain countries have to drive hundreds of miles to vote! And the long, nasty and shameful history that is still being played out of voter supression. Where is the legislation for these sins against democracy?

 

Stop talking about what could be and should be and just fix these basic features of your democractic system and then other countries might respect you more!

It's mostly the conservatives because the base is trending away from the~ look at this:

Since Hurricane Maria in 2017, tens of thousands of Puerto Ricans have moved to Central Florida. This is a new voting element not encountered by Trump in 2016.

Given Trump's public disdain for Puerto Ricans in 2017 as they struggled to survive Maria's devastation, I expect them to vote Biden in Florida's general election. No close race there.

It will almost certainly be close. After denying Puerto Rico bad needed aid after hurricane Maria, Trump recently released 13 billion in aid for the island. Don't think it will fool Puerto Ricans much.

You mean like in 2018? Or 2014? Or 2012? Or 2010? or 2008?

Remember how Republicans were claiming in 2012 that the polls were skewed? And they unskewed them to show that Romney would win?

Always hire a poll taker that will give you the results you want.

If true, why is it the Repubs are not able to do it? Trump trails Biden in all polls, included GOP-friendly Fox News and Rassmussen.

Don't they have enough money? Are they prevented to do so by ethical concerns? ????????????????

Well Trump has orange hair, and Florida is the Orange state, Hmmm.

   I guess that even Trump may get one state to vote for him,  Maybe?

    My hope is that he is so soundly defeated in the election, that the rest of

the surviving Republicans will still have a good time at his expense, and at his

voting head quarters.

Geezer

And Trump asking if they could swap it for Greenland wouldn't have helped either.

 

"Miles Taylor, a former Department of Homeland Security chief of staff who was recently featured in a political ad from Republican Voters Against Trump, told MSNBC on Wednesday that President Donald Trump asked him and other officials whether the U.S. could swap Greenland for Puerto Rico because, in Trump's words, "Puerto Rico was dirty and the people were poor.""
