Since 1969, Democratic presidents have appointed 4 Supreme Court justices, Republicans have appointed 16 (5 of them by presidents who lost the popular vote).

5 BY PRESIDENTS WHO LOST THE POPULAR VOTE.

starts to happen so they want to be in with the people who live around the world on that count. Imagine how much bottled water coca cola will sell over the next 200 years. It makes no sense to get pidgeoned holed into being with 75 million racists in rural areas of one country and give up the opportunity to share the planet and with everybody else and make profits.
