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.

This was a landslide.

irrelevant metric here

this is like bragging you won two games and lost four in a series but had a lot more points in the games you won

I know that me calling out Politifact's fake news is like beating the chunky salsa on the ground where a horse once was
but jesus christ, they know no bottom;

See Trump wasn't kicked off the ballot by this measure designed specifically and explicitly to extort him by kicking him off the ballot, because he could always abide by the extortion to stay on the ballot
therefore anyone claiming he was kicked off the ballot is LYING PANTS ON FIRE

Doesn't matter, he barely won, in fact 80,000 votes would have made hillary president.

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).


sure, and I totally agree that his win was epic when considering the circumstances and how little chances most everyone was giving him.

but it was not a landslide. neither if we go by the margin in the tipping point state, nor if we go by the margin in the electoral college.

Federal laws precede them unless left ambiguous.

States decide how to get on ballots. Any decision besides a 9-0 upholding the law is an attack on states rights and is nothing but a big government partisan power grab.
