[Wash Times] So this is the new standard for electing a president here in America, the greatest living experiment in self-governance.A man can run the gauntlet against more than 20 professional politicians and come out victorious.
He can win more than 40 Republican primary contests and beat every professional political campaigner out there, earning the votes of more than 14 million Republicans.
He can then turn his attention to beating the most powerful, entrenched political machine America has seen in nearly a half-century. (That corrupt machine had just pulled off its most devious and dishonest scam ever ‐ rigging a presidential primary to snatch the party’s preferred Socialist candidate away from Democrat voters.)
In the end, President Trump won the presidency fair and square, earning the votes of more than 60 million Americans and ‐ crucially ‐ winning the 30 states he needed to take the White House.
These are the long-agreed-upon standards for winning the White House. This is how self-governance works.
