Even though then as now he trailed her in the popular vote by 3 million votes.

He won on the electoral college votes.

The difference between him and Biden now, is Biden has won the popular vote by more than Clinton did over Trump.
Also however Biden has won the electoral college votes too.

Something it seems Trump sympathisers seem to prefer to ignore.

Yes if he does not
leave in January
he could sneak out at night
and get a flight.

We had Thatcher way back in the 80's who - awful as she was - still represented major progress in terms of "who could be Prime Minister".

That said, they have had Obama while we're yet to have a non-white British PM.

It's hilariously ironic how republicans and trump fans are melting down and claiming it's a fix when, in 2016, they took such delight in telling people to accept the result despite actual evidence of Russian interference.

These people think it's fine that foreign interference is a thing as long as it benefits them but a fair vote that doesn't go their way is simply unacceptable.

We've not had a female Taoiseach yet (although we were very close this year with Mary Lou McDonald and I still hope she will get in next time ) We've had a couple of female Presidents though although that role in Ireland is not running the country, it's always been more of a ceremonial role but having said that our first female President Mary Robinson really pushed that role and actually did things with it, much more than any of her predecessors.

Leo Varadkar was the first non white (well mixed race) and openly gay Taoiseach

She's not even talking about "doing away with the Republicans", she's talking about the Republicans themselves needing to root out Trumpism in the party and re-establish themselves as a respectable political entity. Though I do think she could have phrased it a little better.

It’s big talk from Nigel anyway who’s spent the last couple of years calling people traitors if they don’t agree with him and pledging to take up arms for a civil war if the result didn’t go his way, if you’re gonna be a grifter you need a better memory

There's a difference between being a practicing lawyer (i.e. still able to and registered to practice law) and being a full-time working lawyer actively taking on regular cases, though. She didn't give up her job but that's a different thing to being "still working".

Sunak will probably be PM long before the next election

i do think there is a great deal of hypocrisy in the way the 2 parties behave and its not like it's a battle of good vs evil they way it is has been portrayed, it's just not that black and white

That being said, Trump does need to put his big boy pants on and concede
