Generic musing, but the popular vote is quite the odd thing...basically if democrats actually strategically moved out of CA and NY and into swing states the GOP would be completely screwed on the national level.  I feel like if both political parties we are so generously given were to be required to win over most of the voters in the USA we'd have a better pool of political this and thats.

The GOP went from winning the popular vote roughly by 31 million votes from 1980 to 1988 to declaring that the popular vote isn't reflective of the will of the people.  Just seems interesting that Ronald Reagan didn't need electors to step in save him from the will of Commiefornia and NY.

It is interesting that the GOP has been doing the "we stand for what the democrats don't" since Gingrich and now democrats have become the party that stands for "not Trump" while the GOP can't convince 33% of Americans that anyone matters.
