It's been 36 years since Republicans won the national popular vote, will this year break the dry spell?

It's a flaw in the system, but there is no way I can logically infer the framers of the constitution expected that one political entity would consistently time after time be given control of the federal government despite continuously having the majority/plurality of eligible voters voting against them.

1988, back deep into the 20th century was the last time a majority/plurality of American voters thought the Republican was the superior choice to lead the nation.

Edit - Correction George Dumbya Bush won the popular vote 20 years ago. One time in the last 36 years


Ther are adult voters who don't remember Republicans ever winning the popular vote.
