      lost two straight elections

      ?

      He only lost one. Unless this is some veiled commentary about the illegitimacy of the electoral college

        2016 election by popular vote:

        Trump - 62,984,828 Clinton - 65,853,514

        Trump won the birth lottery. Ever since then he’s been a big fat loser.

          Then say he lost the vote. He very evidently won the election.

        Looks like yeah it’s EC stuff. I agree that the Electoral College seems antiquated and disenfranchises voters, but it is the law and fucking Trump was our President for 4 long years.

      You really don’t wanna know how bad he does at queer elections. The only reason he gets a non-zero amount are the log cabin republicans. These sisters lower their standards and say they’re not like other gays.
