After Nixon resigned in disgrace, America voted in a Democrat…and then booted him out and went back to Republicans for 12 years.

He could have been a great guy, but instead chose violence and oppression while in office. Repeatedly.

How much must one repent to balance out spreading terror across the globe? No matter how committed he is to changing his legacy, he will never be able to take back the suffering he helped cause.

Most recently, other than Trump, George HW Bush lost the election while incumbent. Prior to that it was Jimmy Carter.

The next most recent person to win the election but lose the popular vote was George W Bush, prior to that is was Harrison back in 1888.
