I have heard it said that, if the US President was elected by popular
vote, it’s likely a Republican would never occupy the White House again.

But then, that’s their own fault. Each time they lose an election, instead
of trying to fix it by coming up with policies that appeal to a broader
range of voters, currently their strategy seems to be to swing even
further to the extreme right.
