Prob. Funny how he barely beat hillary.
304 to 227 isn't really that slim of a margin. he could have lost several swing states in a lot of scenarios and still won, WI and MI for example. picking up 43 more EC votes in that election, she'd have needed florida AND NC, PA, or MI. even FL and WI leaves her short. hell even WI, MI and NC left her short.
and in a lack of 270 race she'd have lost imo due to the congressional makeup. 241R vs 194D.
i think in hindsight a lot of people remember it being closer than it was because she won the popular vote by a good margin. electorally it was a close race but still a decent win.
