First, George W. Bush did not win the 2000 election. He just didn't. Al Gore won it.

Second, we were about to defeat Donald Trump by a very decisive margin when James Comey intervened on behalf of the Republicans. Had it not been for Comey's antics Trump would never have won. So I am not sure that he counts either.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
