Does Trump really have a mandate? Far less than other guys.

“Trump’s margin of victory, historically speaking, is very small. Although he may have won handily in the Electoral College by 312 to 226, he is estimated to win the popular vote by around 1.6 percent. That puts him in 16th place among post-Second World War presidential victories, just behind Jimmy Carter, but ahead of his 2016 performance when he lost the popular vote but still won the keys to the White House.”

Despite what he says, Trump actually has a very small mandate

Trump doesn’t have the mandate he thinks he does, presidential historians tell Richard Hall — and Democrats should stop acting like he does

There is no Trump ‘mandate.’

Fine, keep up with your hate, it served you so well on the 5th.

I think you should double-down as it only works to the gop's advantage.

Traditionally, the Republican congress makes sure their own does not have a mandate. The shills are there and ready to put the anchor on the ground. Only this time they may get hundreds of thousands of calls, even threats as the voters are tired of their milk toast ways of governing. The inflation really sucks. Really.

Who can afford to get food from a restaurant ? Prices doubled.

Then if you want to buy the same meals and cook them at home its the same price or more!

Biden totally fucked up the country, especially food prices. Not even mentioning starting WW3.

Trump can pass laws with only Republican votes in the House and Senate, but will they all vote as a block, or become RINOs and not pass anything? A "mandate" means nothing, its who has the votes to pass their agenda.

I would say, no mandate at all. Will probably lose Congress in the midterms, especially when the economy tanks.

Waiting for the next Election ?

After Liz / Kinzinger and most other Never Trumper Critters have been purged the House & Senate are more on the Trump Train now than ever before

We will see rather quickly. And we will see as some months go by after they do approve of some of his agendas they continue to do so.

Hmmm... Someone, can't remember who, once said, "Elections have consequences"

don't know if I said that, and frankly, never really denied they do in this case.

There will be horrible consequences of the two years or less Trump will be allowed to run amok before we have a midterm correction.

 

[JoeB131]

Yes, Democrats hate everything that America needs and will work against all of it.

America needs fascism? Only in your mind.

 

[JoeB131]

Waiting for the next Election ?

Well, no, I'm sure Trump will fail epically before then.

For instance, Bush was pretty much done after Katrina in 2005.

 

[boevans]

The EC gives him a mandate, as does a 2.5 point lead.

That does not mean anyone else has to follow it.

My wife and I dine out at least once a week. Prices are up a bit, but they nowhere neared "double".

Then if you want to buy the same meals and cook them at home its the same price or more!

Seems like you suck at shopping. The Mrs. and I can buy groceries for the week for less than $100 - 150.

Biden totally fucked up the country, especially food prices. Not even mentioning starting WW3.

Food prices went up because of higher demand for farm labor and international demand.

As for WWIII, how was Putin invading Ukraine Biden's fault, exactly? Was it FDR's fault Hitler invaded Poland?

Trump can pass laws with only Republican votes in the House and Senate, but will they all vote as a block, or become RINOs and not pass anything? A "mandate" means nothing, its who has the votes to pass their agenda.

Exactly my point. With a 3 vote margins in both houses, Trump has no margin for error, and he can't bully them into every crazy thing he wants to do.

Gaetz getting shot down was a good early sign.

 

[JoeB131]

But he doesn't have a 2.5 lead. His lead is more like 1.5.

I see math challenges you guys.

 

[daveman]

America needs fascism? Only in your mind.

Yes, because less overarching government, peace, and a better economy is SO fascist.

You are a Useful Idiot. But outside of parroting your leftist programming, you're not at all useful.

 

[daveman]

As for WWIII, how was Putin invading Ukraine Biden's fault, exactly?

Biden gave Putin permission to invade. And then Russia warned Biden about giving Ukraine permission to use long-range American missiles to target Russia. And then Biden gave Zelensky permission to use the long-range missiles he gave him.

And now we're looking at World War 3, thanks to utterly retarded Democrats.

And you? You're on Russia's side. Old Commie habits die hard.

37 percent who didn't vote are wonderful patriots.

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

So for all those claiming Trump has a mandate... let's look at that.

Trump got 49.9% of the vote in an election where 37% of the electorate didn't vote at all.

Now, let's look at some other presidents who had supposed "Mandates" for their second terms. We'll only limit ourselves to guys who got second terms. This is an expansion on my point about how no presidents really have good second terms. I will include presidents who won re-election after getting the job because the last guy died.

Obama- won 51.1% of the vote. Not considered a mandate by Republicans, who won the Senate in the Next midterm
Dubya Bush - Won 50.7% of the vote. Lost both houses of Congress in the next midterm.
Clinton - Won 49.2% of the vote in a three way race. Got impeached in his second term.
Reagan - Won 58.8% of the vote and 49 States- Still lost the senate in his midterm, and was mired in the Iran Contra Scandal.
Nixon - Won a whopping 60.7% of the vote and 49%. Was forced to resign BEFORE the next midterm due to Watergate.
Johnson* - Won 61.1% of the vote and 44 states. Vietnam and the various riots, he couldn't even show his face in 1968
Eisenhower - Ike- Won 57.4% of the vote. His second term wasn't bad, just kind of unremarkable. Democrats took 15 senate seats and 39 House seats in the midterm.
Truman* - Won 49.6% of the vote in a four way race. Second term he lost both houses of Congress and got us mired in a war in Korea.
FDR - Won 60.8% - he still lost ground to the GOP in the midterm and the economic recovery sputters.
Coolidge* - Won 54% Didn't do jack diddly. After he left, the roof fell in.
Wilson- Won 49.2% of the vote. Got us into WWI after promising to keep us out. Republicans took the House and Senate in 1918.


* Got to put an asterisk on this one, because he was filling out someone else

So here's the thing. All these guys claimed to have a mandate, but it didn't turn out that way for most of them.

Trump is backed by Musk, Ben Shapiro and me. We are all smarter than you.

He wasn’t talking about you, Jeanie. lol

Well, to be fair, Comrade Iosef sets that bar really low.

1. Menu prices are up a lot, maybe not all double, but some are.
2. Inflation is up 23% under Biden, some food items are up more, unless you're a migrant getting free food.
3. Biden did not give Ukraine the weapons they needed early on that may have stopped Putin, now he's throwing money at them even though the war is a stalemated.
4. Yep, Trump will not bully the 5 senators who shot Gaetz down, but they should be reliable votes for good legislation.
