The GOP has won one popular vote since 1988. 2016 was a low turnout election and we got almost 3 million more votes but lost due to a few thousand votes in 3 states we usually win. Any one of our candidates will get more votes in 2020. Can we turn out in PA, MI, WI and let's say, Florida? We, at least have solid governors in 3 of those 4 states now. The election is ours to lose. The urban areas in Philly, Detroit and South Florida can hand us this election quite handily if they turn out... Yeah, I understand meddling, voter suppression ECT. We may have to overcome both. We almost did in 2016. I'm betting we can this time. I think we need to make sure our friend's and neighbors are confirming they are registered and haven't been purged, etc. We have 15 months to do our homework.
