        I mean we’ve already had two nutcases going after this nitwit just for running again. If he “wins” against a majority and against the EC through some amazing and unconstitutional horseshit in Congress and the courts, we are probably going to see a coup.

        • he won in 2016 with an electoral majority but lost the popular vote, and since democrats refuse to do anything but eventually become republicans, they haven’t made a way to prevent this. Trump could easily do it again this year.

          american democracy is actually extremely shit, who knew

            Read the original comment again. Americans will tolerate an EC win without a majority. But Congress refusing to certify, the supreme court backing them, and the presidency being decided by the legislature instead of the votes? Has it ever happened?

            Again, we’ve seen two whackadoos go after him just for running. If he “wins” this way?
