The Nightmare Scenario for Democrats Still Exists Within the Electoral College
. . .We elect our president through the Electoral College. I know you fine folks know this; liberals don’t get it. They love talking about the popular vote totals. Those don’t matter. Yes, Joe Biden received more than 7 million more popular votes. And yet, all Trump needed was 65,009 votes to win re-election. Why? It’s the Electoral College math, you idiots. In 2016, Hillary Clinton needed 77,744 votes to win the presidency. The Cook Political Report’s David Wasserman broke down the numbers. It never ceases to amaze me how liberals zero-in on the stuff that doesn’t matter. But wait, if this thing came down to a 269-269 tie, Trump would win given that the GOP has the majority of state congressional delegations. And the president only needed 42,918 votes for that scenario to become a reality.
In hindsight, Trump probably could have lost by ~6 million votes nationally and still prevailed in the Electoral College. https://t.co/IR6Ovxhwdu

. . . If these are the margins, then Trump should definitely run again—and focus on winning back the voters who left him. As you can see from the Electoral College math, it’s not that many. It’s doable. And President Trump has already made it known that a 2024 run is in the cards.
