This idiot woman on FNS just claimed that Bush won reelection with the smallest majority of any incumbent. Did this fool miss the election results from 1996?????

In 2004 Bush had 50.73% of the popular vote (Kerry had 48.27%) and 53.16% of the electoral vote. In 1996 Clinton had 49.23% of the popular vote (Dole had 40.72%) and 70.45% of the electoral vote.

Clinton won both terms with a plurality...he NEVER received a majority.

Just once I'd like to hear the MSM set this record straight.

But, I'm not going to hold my breath.

Depends what figures you use how about another one though Bush had more votes than any other President in history. Are not figures wonderful things one can twist and interpret them how one wants especially the left who are masters of spin.
