Rich people (plutocrats) control who becomes president and every 8 years they force a republican win to appease their financial interests. Bush lost the majority and still "won" POTUS in our "democracy".

Ever wonder why ALL the elections in America (mayors, governors, etc) are Democratic by majority rule BUT for the presidency?
