Does winning the popular vote in addition to the EC and the Senate mean a MANDATE from the PEOPLE?

Red wave, gop mandate

The Republican Party has no mandate to do anything that will be unpopular. Trump's tariffs will renew the inflation that enabled him to win the election. They are likely to cause worse inflation than what we experienced under Biden.

If their message was unpopular they wouldn’t of won. Try again

312, four million more votes, takes the senate, keeps the house

Red wave, gop mandate

The demafasict have banished to the wesr coast, NYC, and some villages in New England

You all sold yourself off to demafacism and will no longer be a major force in american politics again.

He didn't get 4 million more votes... that number will probably be less than 2 million when all the California votes are counted.

Not a red wave and certainly not a mandate.

Obama had a mandate, but you guys opposed everything he tried to do.

That and his scheme to deport undocumented aliens will drive up food prices.

except they didn't win by much, and this was more frustration about inflation than people really wanting to embrace fascism.

Funny when democrats won fewer electoral college votes than Trump did, they "beat the hell out of Trump."

If demonrats wouldn't have double standards, they wouldn't have standards at all.

4 million more votes is a bunch

Total mandate.

Obama got through everything he and the dems wanted. Hence why there was a red wave at the midterms after dembot policies gave us double digit UE.

4 million more votes is a bunch

And MUCH more important, democrats got 16 MILLION VOTES LESS than they did running a child molester who hid in his basement in 2020.

Talk about a TOTAL REJECTION of the democrat platform!

So far I would say
Popular-non mandate
Senate-mandate
House-likely mandate
Electoral-big mandate

Not really. It's barely a two point shift.

Funny, you guys didn't say that when Obama won by even more impressive numbers in 2008.

Nah Four million is a big number, huge even.

Are we going to back to 2008 now? Is that how desperate you are? Let's go back even further, to 2000, when democrats denied the election results. They were the original election deniers.

Obama won in 2008. There was nothing else to say. He won in 2012. I admit republicans had terrible candidates. Democrats ran a well articulated negro, he was a shoe-in.

You have no idea nor indication of who said what 15 years ago

Isn't it cute, a member who joined in 2011, saying what we said in 2008?

 

[JoeB131]

No, it really isn't.

50.3 (or less) isn't a mandate, it's barely scraping by.

 

[JoeB131]

I'm pretty sure none of you guys who lost your shit over Obama were praising his "Mandate", even though he did far better than Trump in 2012 and 2008.

 

[JoeB131]

Isn't it cute, a member who joined in 2011, saying what we said in 2008?

Well, I certainly know what you said here in 2012... and what most of you were saying on other forums in 2008.

 

[struth]

No, it really isn't.

50.3 (or less) isn't a mandate, it's barely scraping by.

Four million is a mandate.
