re: #162 EPR-radar

trump getting more popular votes than any previous GOP candidate in a country with a growing population is meaningless. The same would be true for any GOP candidate that had managed to win in 2016.

Even with increasing population, the election-to-election votes for any party are not guaranteed to go up election-to-election.

For example, both McCain and Romney got fewer popular votes than GWB got in 2004.

Trump is easy to disparage. Yet I think he’s more symptomatic than being an original cause.
