U: I just said that it was feasible, not that it would actually happen. Words have meanings, and I tend to go for some very literal and exact ones in how I phrasee things.
Indeed, words do have meanings. When you assert, in the course of insisting that the 2000 election was not stolen, "Frankly put Gore was subject to that little-understood reality that POTUS just means winning the electoral college, not the popular vote," the logical interpretation is that you are citing the Electoral College as always trumping the popular vote.
U: Oh, so when you said that GWB ensured Jeb would hand him the election you instead credited Bush with the kind of future-foresight that was lacking in the 100% of his Presidency that followed after the election?
No brilliant "future-foresight" was required for a governor to promise his brother his state in a national election. Whether or not George W. Bush won the election, he would want to avoid the humiliation of losing in his own brother's state, and I'm a bit surprised you're unaware of this very basic political reality.
U: No, it requires crediting the fuckwits that botched Afghanistan, Iraq, Katrina, Rita, and pretty much everything else with inerrant prescience just in time to get elected and it appearing nowhere else during said Administration's history.
As I've already explained, it was not the George W. Bush administration who suppressed the vote in Florida.
