First of all, I never claimed it was a "massive" landslide....But winning 57% of the EC to 43% is indeed an EC Landslide....especially, when the media had Clinton winning it up until about 7pm on election day!!

Just to play with some numbers; Trump won 2,623 counties, to Clinton's 489 counties....that looks more of the MASSIVE range no matter how you slice it!

No, it isn't.

[Henry Hawk]

No, it isn't.

Says YOU? LOL!!

I like this explanation.............A "Landslide victory" is a buzzword used by the media to describe an election won by a larger margin than initially predicted. There is no strict definition, but the usual connotation is that of a surprisingly good result. The implication is that the election suddenly changed the political landscape in a manner a real landslide suddenly reshapes a natural landscape.


According to the actual definition:

landslide

Did you read this HH?  I don't think many people consider 56.88% a landslide.  If you think that is a landslide, then what do you think of Obama's win in 2008 with 67.84%?  Or Clinton's win in 1996 70.45%?  Or Bush's win in 1988 with 79.18%?

Here's a highlight of the article since it seems evident you didn't read it:  This chart makes it clear that Trump's percentage doesn't rank near the top. In fact, it ranks near the bottom, belonging somewhere between the lowest one-fourth and the lowest one-fifth of all Electoral College victories in history. "If your share of the electoral vote ranks behind Martin Van Buren's, then you did not win in a landslide," Pitney told PolitiFact.

"If Trump's election was a landslide, then the word 'landslide' has no meaning," said University of Denver political scientist Seth Masket.

Yes, I did read it Abby, in it's entirety..merely because I think "landslide" is exactly what I posted the definition is.......that being, "a great victory".......which Trumps election most certainly was!!! Indisputably!

Did you also see the county victory that Trump had?  He won 84% of the counties across this Nation........THAT is a landslide, no mater HOW you define it.

I think the democrat party got their butt hurt so bad, they are in denial to this very day!!! 

Trump won by a landslide...and Hank is sticking to it!!!!

56.88% is not "a great victory".   

So Trump won 84% of the counties; this is misleading.  You do realize that not all of the counties have the same population?  Trump won the rural counties of America.  Notice he still lost the popular vote-what does that tell you?  It should tell you that winning the counties doesn't mean much.

56.88% is not "a great victory".   

When the media had been predicting a Clinton Landslide and all the talk was that it was OVER for trump right up until 7 or 8'oclock pm on election day..........then Trump proceeds to win 30 states and destroyed the blue wall..........YES, Abby it is a GREAT VICTORY!  The media and the democrats never saw it coming.

I don't know what sources you were watching, but the ones I was watching on election night had it close but in favor of the raging cheeto early and at the time I finally gave up the ghost and hit the hay. (% states "too close to call" but in favor of the raging cheeto).

  House Republicans revive obscure rule.  The Holman Rule, after a congressman from Indiana in 1876.  Which will enable the congress to reduce the government workers to a dollar a day.  Yes reduce it to one dollar.   

Now I really want to see this and watch the government to be really shut down.    Oh, these dumbass Republicans bastards.

Nope, not at 7 to 8, all of the networks had florida to clinton, NC to clinton, OH to clinton.....and the thought of WI or MI going to Trump was off the charts.........

But, giving you the doubt, my point was, the media was all anticipating a clinton blow out right up until the election........even locutus was talking about me buying him a steak dinner the day before....

For Trump to even win by less, it would have been a devastating victory....

Are you still in high school?

Are you still in high school? 

Did you ever go to high school?

Hey, it's ok that you want to have a bromance with Trump.  That sort of thing is accepted nowadays.

  Yes Sir, the Republican Party is for the working man.    The governor of Kentucky just sign a bill making Kentucky a Right To Work state.  Oh yes, a Right To Work for Less state.  If you work for a union shop, you don't have to pay dues.  But if you get in trouble with the company, the union has to defend you for free and any benefits the union wins for the workers, this SCAB (Henry) get it too, FREE. 

  The law does only two things, destroy the union and drives down wages of the SCAB (Henry) workers.
