There's only been ONE republican candidate to win the Popular Vote for President in an election in the entire 21st century
And not even in the last 2 elections of the previous century
(And, yes, I'm aware that technically 2000 is in the 20th century but the title still holds )

9-11, the Bush Tax give away, the Iraq War illegal invasion.....and he got 12MM more votes in 2004? Nope.

(8,445 posts)4. A good reason for the repukes to get off the Crazy Train this election
A very clear majority of the voters voted for Biden/Harris. How well do they think they'll be received if they continue to support OrangeLoser's efforts to overturn the clear choice of voters?
The longer each and every one of them continues to play this ridiculous and futile game, the worse it will be for them. The need to put a period on this election, with the exception of the runoffs, and move forward.
