When will a GOP presidential candidates win over 50% the popular vote again?

[OtterMan68]

Only twice in the past nine presidential elections has the GOP candidate gotten more than 50% of the popular vote or won the popular vote. George HW Bush in 1988 and George W Bush in 2004.

This year

2028

2032

not any time in my lifetime

If they continue down the road of unpopular, narrow minded, minority voter, strong elder & conservative talking points and push policy that no one relates to outside the political bubble of Florida State I don’t think they’ll win much elections…

My advice to Republicans: Democrats have been giving involved in your local elections by shoveling money towards extremist right ideological politicians who win their primary then can’t beat the moderate progressive the Democrats selected. This happens more than not, Trump endorses these people and they cannot win. If you want a better, more conservative, and prosperous America… Clearly it is without Trump.

It's BULLSHIT that Dems need 53% of vote to win electoral college. Pure corruption.

Maybe after it returns to its old values. The MAGA extremism has turned a lot of us away and as long as Trump or any of the mini-me versions like Vance are the candidate, it won't happen. Both parties are also managing to turn people to third parties.

Considering presidents aren't elected by popular vote, who cares?

[OtterMan68]

true, the majority's wishes have been ignored before, but it does show which party is more popular. It also shows how badly the house is gerrymandered

[NOTHINGEVERHAPPENS]

Never. The Republican Party after trump either loses or finishes his term is dead. If not for him it’s a bunch of geriatric warmongers and corporatists. While the democrats are pretty much the same, they appeal better to young people. 2024 will be the last time we have two parties. After that, buckle up for a one party country.

[Juxtapose]

I think Trump can be one to do it.

We need more people to realize that voting for Trump is actually the moderate choice for a sane America.

If you want to see America radically transformed, and not for the better? Vote for Kamala Harris.

the day they stop worshipping this guy:

[OddBeMe]

Why are they so against more people voting?


Research: higher the voting averages better Democrats do.

[gorydetails]

Irrelevant.
