But to the extent to which there will be attempts to make it as unfair as possible, I still think the election will be manageably representative of the popular will.

And we still got Abe Lincoln and FDR

If the will of the voters is the will of the voters, nothing will stop them.

In order to stop losing, the GOP will still have to stop being shitty. They simply cant help themselves.
