She doesn't have to be. There aren't enough votes to put a Republican in the White House now.
Especially if their last name is "Bush."
“She doesn’t have to be. There aren’t enough votes to put a Republican in the White House now.’
Actually, with the exception of 2004, there have not been enough popular votes to put a Republican the White House since 1992 when George H.W. Bush lost to Bill Clinton. Remember Al Gore received 500,000 more popular votes nationally than George W. Bush in 2000. Had Ralph Nader not siphoned off enough liberal votes in Florida to give Bush those electoral votes, Gore would have been President in 2000. If Bush had lost in 2000, the likely Republican candidate would have been John McCain who almost certainly would not have been able to defeat President Gore for reelection. In 2008 it would have been Obama or Hillary against whatever Republican establishment candidate was put forward to be the sacrificial loser. Perhaps Romney.
Since 1992 the only election in which a Republican presidential candidate won the popular vote was 2004 when George W. Bush beat John Kerry by about 3 million votes.
