ABC’s Muir Argues Trump Doesn’t Really Have a Mandate to Govern Because ‘It Was a Relatively Close Election’ if Were Just Passed on the Popular Vote

EXCERPT:

MUIR: “I know it’s a point, Mark Updegrove, that’s not lost on you either. So much is made about Donald Trump and the mandate, even though from a popular vote standpoint it was a relatively close election. He won the Electoral College, no question. Mandate there, if you will. Does have the Congress, the very slim margins of the House and Senate, will still be quite a feat to get things passed, particularly when you’re plucking members of the House to serve in your cabinet, very slim margins there for the speaker of the House. But, as Terry points out, it’s not just that the Republicans control the House, the Senate and the White House, or are about to. It’s the fact that this Supreme Court has given Donald Trump — whoever the next incoming president was, but now it’s Donald Trump — significant power and protection now to do what they want.”
