That actually didn't help. Trump lost the popular election that Russia tried to influence. It was largely gerrymandering that gave Trump the win.Well that and Russian intervention

Yes, Kavanaugh and Northam should step down.

It all contributed. The main reason Trump won is because a startlingly large number of voters liked his racist and misogynistic rhetoric. Without that the points shaved here or there would not have mattered.

How does gerrymandering work in a presidential election?

It keeps lawmakers in office who support voter suppression laws.

A for effort, but no, gerrymandering keeps lawmakers from both parties in office. Unless you are saying that both parties are suppressing votes?

I'm sure you want to believe that being that he is not a liberal but I'm convinced it was an attempt by the Democrats to smear and keep him out of the supreme court.

It doesn't matter if the lawmakers are from the Democratic Party. The Republican Party is one that celebrates its voter suppression laws. So, yeah, Gerrymandering by those Republican lawmakers enhance their ability to steal elections.

Republicans no longer live according to a moral compass. Their support for Kavanaugh followed by their pouncing on Virginia's Democrats only prove this. It's all about maintaining power.

Less than impressive logic.

I don't doubt that, all politicians are sociopaths left and right. I still doubt he is a rapist though, even Democrats where I live believe it was an attempted smear. Those who believe all right wing politicians are evil and all left wing politicians to be angels are clearly biased, it's all moderates where I live personally I believe hard left and hard right are both crazy.

The only states that allocated electoral college votes by congressional district in the 2016 election were Nebraska and Maine. You could toss both out and Trump still would have beat Hillary. So the idea that Trump won due to gerrymandering is kinda silly.

Huh? Pretty sure that tossing those electoral votes out would have helped Trump win by a much larger margin, I think Trump even wins the popular vote if you toss those.

Just count the popular votes in Cali & NY and throw out all the other states votes
