    That’s probably why he won’t win again. It would be amazing to have a convicted felon as president, he’d go from being a distraction to being the thing that causes serious unrest.

        Okay so I’ll say he will win in 2024 so then I’ll be wrong as well. It would be crazy if he won as a convicted felon, after being impeached twice, after losing in 2020 by a landslide.

          He did not lose in 2020 by a landslide. That’s just not true.

          Biden won the election with 306 electoral votes and 51.3% of the national popular vote, compared to Trump’s 232 electoral votes and 46.9% of the popular vote.

          So suggesting he has no chance of winning when he came that close four years ago and he’s likely not lost a huge number of fans is a little premature.

              Convicted Felon and Sex Offender Treason Trump did however lose the popular vote in a landslide and the electoral vote in a landslide.

                The EC swings hard because it’s winner take all. A few thousand votes can account for dozens of ECs in deference.

            Numbers are even worse when you consider swing states. AZ, GA, and PA swung Biden’s away by a net 40,000 votes. Razor thin margins, for any Dem candidate.

            People fixate on the popular vote, but California going Blue by an extra million votes doesn’t change anything
