Other than after 9/11 when we were lied to about the war, Republicans haven't won the popular vote in my lifetime.

They've also never won with anyone who isn't Trump in 20 years.
Just hope he makes a repeat performance on that last point
Unfortunately losing the popular vote doesn't mean he loses the election. Here's to hoping he loses both.
He is 100% guaranteed to lose the popular vote by millions. Unfortunately, that doesn't determine whether he wins the election.
He may very well qualify as the person hated by the most people worldwide in his lifetime.

Any other incumbent president had lost the election?
Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush, off the top of my head.
Most recently, other than Trump, George HW Bush lost the election while incumbent. Prior to that it was Jimmy Carter.
The next most recent person to win the election but lose the popular vote was George W Bush, prior to that is was Harrison back in 1888.
Don't forget the smallest inaugural crowds!
I just don't get this. Does the fact that Biden pulled off 4 months before election mean he was never a candidate? 🤔 With that logic, if Trump quits now he is again forgiven as the oldest one? So, whole this news would be bullshit?
Nope, Trump is his parties verified candidate which happens at the convention. Dems have not had their convention yet so Biden was not officially the candidate. Semantics, yes but technically true.
That's why reporters would say " presumptive nominee"

Trump was officially nominated by the RNC as their candidate. Biden hadn't been nominated by the DNC yet, that was supposed to happen at the conference in a couple weeks. But now that he has pulled out, he will not be nominated and thus not be the official candidate.

Just Trump again giving unwelcome kisses to his stage partner, but when women accuse him of the same thing conservatives don't believe it. He's showing you who he is.
Impeached TWICE? HOW?!
Impeachment is not the same as being removed from office. It is the first step to the process however. Impeachment is the bringing of charges against an official in office. Once charges are brought, a trial must be held on the Senate with the Chief Supreme Court Justice presiding. If the trial ends in a conviction, the result is removal from office. However, the Chief Justice for nearly the past 20 years is a staunchly conservative man appointed by the 2nd bush administration in 2005.
Impeachment was never really a threat to Trump while in office. Just a way for Congress to tell the president that they know the bad shit he's doing and they don't like it. As long as the supreme court remains absolutely stacked with conservative appointees, there will never be a removal of office of a favored Republican president.
