    You also didn’t have people win the presidency, get voted out of office, then try to run again. Usually people get the message after getting voted out after just one term.

      Trump’s feral genius locked onto the Big Lie, which effectively avoided the party reckoning and ejection that comes with losing the presidency.

      Guy has three straight election-cycle losses, but the base is convinced he’s the usurped rightful king rampant, and 43% of the registered electorate is eager to return him to the throne.

      An aside: the Constitution is a dogshit template for a political system if it can be hacked this easily by a buffoon.

        You shouldn’t be able to do that.
