great post my friend!

When you break down his actual margin in the states that put him over it was pretty slim.

304 votes is also only 56.5% of electoral votes, which is again, pretty slim. Remember the line to get elected is 269, he had 35 electoral votes to spare. When you break it down by percentage of electoral votes Trump was in the bottom quarter of electoral margins.

His margin in the tipping point state was just 0.72%. You can barely call that a landslide. In fact, over the last century, only 2 elections had a narrower margin in the tipping point state: 1960 and 2000.

fleetwood mac sang it best: landslide

If you want to keep deluding yourself, fine. Doesnt change the fact that his victory in 2016 was based on narrow margins in the decisive states. It would NOT have taken a lot for him to lose that election.
That most predictions were ridiculously overconfident of Clinton has nothing to do with this.

Her having high odds of winning does not make his narrow win margin a landslide by any logic.
Hillary actually had the highest popular vote difference of a losing run in history.

states that hadn’t been won by a Republican in 22-30 years. you can win by one or one million it doesn’t matter when you sweep states that were unthinkable to win by any other (R)


irrelevant metric.

You not understanding what the word landslide means does not make trumps victory a landslide.
Again, a landslide would be getting more votes than your opponent.

it's amazing how some people's dedication to their cult leader is so big, they even share his insecurities. he won what's important: the electoral college - that's all that matters, there really is no need for #alternative facts.
