He was.
Look back to the elections Reagan won and realize how long vote totals were being manipulated.
Reagan won 2x with 49 states. 1 of those wins was by 15 million votes more than his opponent, yet Reagan never held the house. Not even for 1 year. Republicans did hold the Senate, 4 years while Reagan was president if i recall. But with 15 million more votes,and winning 49 states,there is no way Republicans shouldn't have held supermajorities in both houses.
Our elections have been completely rigged for many years.
