LANDSLIDE ELECTORAL VICTORY: Trump 56.5% Cankles 42%: Trump Beats Hillary by 14.5%
LA Times ^ | 12.19..16 | LA Times, Breitbart

Posted on 12/19/2016 7:51:58 PM PST by rface

Trump, who is vacationing this week at his Mar-a-Lago beachfront resort in Palm Beach, Fla., said he’d surpassed the electoral-vote majority “by a very large margin, far greater than ever anticipated by the media.”

Trump gets 304/538 electoral votes = 56.5%

Hillary gets 227/538 = 42 % electoral votes.

Trump Beats Hillary by 14.5%.

Thank you for making the same point. 45th out of 54 and 9th out of the last 12 does not constitute a “landslide.” To use that term is silly and does not square with the facts.

A win is a win.

Lying about the margin of victory is only lying to ourselves however.

Reality is only 17.8% of elected presidents had a smaller electoral college margin of victory

82.2% had a larger electoral college margin of victory.

Facts are facts and this was not a landslide.

He always was good at turning on the tears. Should’ve been an actor.

The Classic.

Can you post some links to source this for us please:

“There were 3.5 million illegal votes and 4 million dead votes all for Hillary.”

That is voter fraud and needs to be investigated and prosecuted.

Thanks in advance.

I didn’t say it was a landslide. I just pointed out that some very popular Presidents had won by lower EV margins.
