Are you aware that Bush was the first, in 2004, to get at least 50% since Reagan in '84? News for you: There are always third, fourth and seventh parties that take tiny bites out of the vote total. We don't usually get an outright majority.
If someone is rooting for Obama to win anything, they are a fool.
OK, then I am a fool. I can accept that that is your assesment of me. I'll deal.
I hate to say it, but we'll have to let the whacked-lefties have the White House for a few years to remind folks why we prefer conservatives in the office. But cheer up, we don't elect Kings or Queens, we elect CEOs who can't have their way all of the time.
Not true Bush got about 53% in 1988
Not true Bush got about 53% in 1988. The Clinton got less than half twice.
You want a repeat of 8 years of Clinton?

No, Bush in 1988. And I addressed making sure that any 3rd party doesn’t draw more from the Republican vote.

2004. 1988. 1984. 1980. 1976. 1972. 1964. 1956. 1952. 1944. 1940. 1936. 1932...
And most of the other years (2000, 1996, 1960, 1948) someone got 49%.
