If you want to beat Trump, run competent candidates. Have coherent policies.

How odd that a in the last 35 years the Republican Presidential candidate has managed to get more votes than the Democrat exactly once.

Didn’t do it in 1992. Or 1996. Or 2000. Or 2008. Or 2012. Or 2016. Or 2020.

Did manage it in 2004.

The Republicans have scraped by hanging onto the office roughly half the time thanks to the long outdated system of weighting set up 250 years ago by our farmer forebearers. Like the theory that Senators should be selected by State Legislatures, not the people, I remain confident that this anachronism will be removed at some point, or that the Republic will fail as it continues to enshrine a minority leader over the will of the majority.

Meanwhile, how’s that log in your eye?
