That was George H.W. Bush.
Gore won the popular vote.
shareYet that is not how our Constitution framers set it up. They had the foresight to know how to keep densely populated/media heavy urban areas from exclusively ruling the rest of our country, who may have differing interests. They foresaw how to keep it fair without knowing what the future would hold.

Didn't they finally figure out that Gore actually won once all them Florida ballots were audited but by then Bush was long since sworn in and they said screw it? They mentioned it every day on the Daily Show for 8 years straight.
shareThe Daily Show is a comedy show on Comedy Central. Bu if what you said is aculeate, you should be able to provide credible links.
shareNot just that. He also would have won Florida had the votes been counted correctly.
I also believe Biden would have won in 2016 had he run.
As a past trend this one is kind of ridiculous.
Theres an obsession with identity politics, clinton already lost 8 years ago, would these people allow another woman to lose? which goes against this narrative of empowering women and how beautiful it would be have a woman president?
mmmm, identity politics plus hatred of trump equals dead people voting and ballots in the trash...
the fix is in.
people fall for a charsmatic leaders Frank Herbert(executed brillantly by Denis Villeneuve) and George Lucas showed that with Paul Atreides and Emperor Palpatine as proxies democracies are given away yeah you are correct.
sharewhy i choose to remain a third party voter.
shareHere is a well written piece from Boston University concerning third party candidates and their chance to bring about any change.

That has absolutely no relevance to the OP.
shareYet it has abundant relevance for the poster to whom I was replying. (it was not you) Since I am the OP, I shall discern what is, and is not relevant. Your post is irrelevant.
sharefuck you
sharePeople like you are only basement-dwelling cowards. You'd never say that to anyone face to face because you know you'd have the shit beat out of you.
shareWrong again, faggot
sharePeople like nukedude either assume they can beat the shit out of anyone, which they most definitely cannot, or they're just playing tough guy on the internet because they know they're safe.
shareLOL...you apparently failed basic comprehension in school...well, if you even attended. I never said that I'd beat the shit out of him...I said that if he said "fuck you" to someone right in front of him, he'd get the shit beat out of him. He said it to DonenWoods13. I don't know who he or she is, but my bet is that he or she could take the Star Wars fanboi on with one hand tied behind him. We're done here.
sharewrong again, faggot
shareThere have been zero times when a convicted felon has been elected president.
shareTrue indeed. Yet it seems to have gained him legions of Black and Hispanic voters who have long felt persecuted and disenfranchised by the justice system. We shall see.
shareNot those from Puerto Rico, lol.
shareI do not like to hear any ethnicity slurred. My family immigrated from the former Bohemia and were treated most unkindly. Think "Gypsies, tramps and thieves." They/we later became lawyers, judges, and other PHDs.
That said, the remark was made by an insult comic that no one I know has ever heard of before.
There have been zero times when a convicted felon has been elected president.
One has to wonder how the world would've been if H.W would've not said "Read My Lips: No New Taxes" and lost the election because of it??
sharePity, those six words.
"Spoken by Bush during his 1988 run for the presidency, the quote helped Bush defeat Michael Dukakis, became a cornerstone of his Saturday Night Live persona (embodied by Dana Carvey) and also caught him in a political snare. At a time of major budget deficits and spending needs, Bush was — as many had predicted — unable to get by with cuts alone. Before his first year in office was complete, he had signed into law a “stealth budget” that, while leaving the income tax alone, raised various fees and levies. In 1990, David Letterman was joking that Bush’s catchphrase should be updated to “Read my lips: I was lying”; sure enough, it was clear that the original promise had to go."

The public-at-large mostly fail to understand the cyclical nature of economics. The US had enjoyed 7 years of feast, then came the famine. And of course, the msm never misses a chance to destroy.
