    He is not the president of the united people. He is the President of the United States. He is not elected by the people; he is elected by the States. The people of each State choose their electors. The States choose the President.

    The GOP, garyd, is doing exactly what the Dems do, fess up and let's not be partisan.

    Being elected by the electoral college is also known as being elected.

    Well, since you are not complaining about Trump continuing, or even accelerating the bad spending habits, I am sure you won't have a problem with Warren, Sanders et al. At the very least, you have lost your credibility calling them out on spending in the future.

    I don't think this mumbling confused Biden will have a chance against Trump in a debate.

    Because there was no THE popular vote. We don't vote in a national popular vote. Geez you guys still can't get over the fact Hillary lost fair and square.

    At this point even massive election fraud won't help the Dems.

    Yawn, not this again! How often do you have to repeat the same failed hypothesis that many posters have repeatedly disproven?

    Biden can barely hold his own against the JV team he has been debating in the primaries.

    So you think the Dems will succeed with election fraud? I've no doubt they'll try it but it won't work.

    Biden has problems with Biden from not knowing where he is to touching little girls. Oh, and the latest book out with zero unnamed sources and 85 pages of supporting documentation.

    I agree. But the unreality that is considered truth among the rest of the Dem candidates is so terrifying to rational people that Biden has a better than even chance to be the nominee.

    It is a very difficult thing, to become POTUS. You must run to the fringes to get the nomination then run back to the center to get the main vote (old saying) and all this while keeping an eye on the EC.

    Biden will win because he is a likable fellow and Trump is about the biggest bastard I've seen in that office yet (or anywhere at all for that matter, the only reason he hasn't really started fo kill people IMO is he hasn't yet had the time). People will see that Biden will continue to do what Trump has done, which is to coast on Obama's policies; but he will do that without alienating most everyone in the world, both home and abroad, which alienation the majority of us don't see as something we can continue to do.

    I'm Sorry but that sir is deranged. From the Idea that Trump is coasting on Obama's coat tails to the notion that Trump will kill more people on Purpose than Obama did by accident and on purpose. In fact Trump seems to go out of his way to avoid killing people.

    Oh, will you just STAWP with this bs? Yes, we are a Republic etc etc, but we are NOT this weird sort of on-again-off-again oligarchy of provincial autocracies you seem to think. The popular vote DOES have an effect. The EC has overridden the popular vote like 5 times in our history and in each case, it has ****ed things up rather royally, particularly this one.

    You are not disputing the fact that he alienates people, and that is really the major and salient point of his entire administration and the one that will defeat him. My observation is that Trumpers enjoy being hated, most of us do not.
