There's really nothing that extreme about Trump, he just isn't a typical politician. People can't even ding him for "mean tweets" or not being a polished speaker anymore considering the depths both parties have sunk to since he was POTUS. Basically the only thing causing him to divide anything is in people's own minds.

LOL. That's a good one, Ceece! The laugh of the day! Well done!
Its a fractured party with constant infighting and no proactive measures to fix anything other than whining and the party hasn't won the majority vote in YEARS. Always playing defense. . You can bookmark it and take a picture, Republicans stand no chance until 2028 at least... Maybe 2026 if they get a bit more moderate and start to appeal to a broader audience

If Trump gets the nomination and is against Biden there's still a good chance he could win, even while fighting federal charges. But more people are wising up to the fact he is a despotic wannabe dictator who throws everyone who supports him under the bus. Including nearly 900 who are in, or going to prison for him. I think most of his supporters are just there to see what kind of crazy he pulls out of his hat next.
Here's a scenario for you. Trump gets indicted, delays trial until after he is nominated, wins the Primary, then loses in court. Remains out on appeal, WINS the election over the democrats. His hand picked Supreme Court throws out the conviction.
Because of clear corruption in the republican controlled courts, Biden refuses to relinquish the Presidency, and the military backs him up.

Wow. You guys should write screenplays. Very creative you both are.
I have no doubt they will continue to lose the popular vote, as they have done for all but one election in the last 28 years, and that was a razor thin win. Americans overall vote for Democrats more than Republicans, but they have gerrymandered and legislated eligible voters off the rolls and made voting hard in certain strategic places, enough that the minority might continue to rule the majority despite being outnumbered. The electoral college that allows cows and empty acres more of a say than actual people is a giant flaw in the system that gives the minority outsized power.
In other words, you are totally fine with New York and California deciding on the President of the United States and are telling the smaller states to just suck it up.
It's a good thing that the Founding Fathers had a bit more foresight than a straight Majority Rule. Of course, if you don't like it, you are free to get the Constitution Changed. I'm sure you can get 38 States to basically give up their votes so that California and New York can elect who they want...easy peasy.

Bingo….no party can compete with the huge amount of Lib whiners in those states in regards to the popular vote…hence the popular vote means nothing.

How is the "WAR ON FOSSIL FUELS" going? Is this OP clickbait?

In the nation’s history the winner of the national popular vote has also won the Electoral College 90% of the time, so I wouldn’t say that it means nothing.
Only 5 times has the winner of the EC not won the popular vote; 1824, 1876, 1888, 2000 and 2016, and never back to back.
From an historical perspective, trying to consistently win the White House while losing the popular vote is a losing proposition. Perhaps that’s why so many on the far right are calling for secession.
Secession is for losers who fear that they can’t compete.
