Hillary Clintons Popular Vote Win Came Entirely from California
In any case, it is true that the margin of votes by which Hillary Clinton won the state of California was significantly greater than the margin by which she won the national popular vote. But even if Clintons 4.3 million vote victory over Trump in California provided her overall winning edge, it wouldnt be an issue if she hadnt also amassed enough votes all the other states to make that outcome possible.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

2016 California presidential tally:
Clinton: 8,753,788
Trump: 4,483,810
Difference: 4,269,978
So since your claim is that she won by 3 million votes and she was up in California by nearly 4.3 million votes, my claim is true. The math doesnt lie Jimmy."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.

It's true.

So, apparently Biden has indicated he would only serve one term - maybe to calm the fears of those who say he'd be way too old for a second term.
The Dems, therefore, have to face that possibility.
Why Democrats should embrace a one-term President Biden
It is time for progressive Democrats to prepare for the possibility of a Joe Biden presidency and for that presidency to last just four short years.
Why? Because that's apparently is what Biden himself is doing. Politico on Wednesday reported the former vice president is "quietly" signalling to aides he would serve only a single term, if elected, in part to mollify young lefty voters who seem unenthusiastic about his campaign.
"If Biden is elected, he's going to be 82 years old in four years and he won't be running for re-election," an unidentified campaign adviser said.
Biden denied the story, but a denial would be expected. And there is a precedent for such a move Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) won the House speakership earlier this year based, in part, on a pledge to give up the post no later than 2022. It seems the septuagenarians who make up the leadership of the Democratic Party are taking an Augustinian approach to passing the torch to the next generation: They're willing to do it, but not just yet.
It could work. Biden has been at or near the top of the Democratic polls since entering the race, and he has continued to poll solidly among the African-American voters who are a critical part of the party's base. The party's leftmost activists find Biden endlessly frustrating with good reason but right now there is a pretty good chance he will be the party's nominee next fall.
...The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
