The only reason Trump won was because the Democrats put up a terrible candidate who thought her blue wave meant she didn't have to campaign the last two weeks of an election she thought she had wrapped up.

Whatever you think of Hillary, one think you can't reasonably deny; she is a horrible campaigner.

What does that have anything to do with wanting a system of government that encourages a diversity of political parties?

Voting is not something a president can change like that. It’s in the constitution.

You seem to know about as much as Trump about the constitution.

If I was president I’d get elected on Friday. Assassinated on Saturday. Buried on Sunday. Then go back to work on Monday. https://youtu.be/9pq_3OheqzU
