He’s so jealous of Trump. No one really voted for McCain for president. Then Trump comes in and wins in a landslide. His ego can’t handle the truth.

Kind of reminds me of "no one goes to that restaurant anymore. Its too crowded." :-)

2008 Election:
Obama 365 electoral votes 52.9% popular vote McCain 173 electoral votes 45.7% popular vote

2016 election:
Trump 304 electoral votes 46.1% popular vote Clinton 227 electoral votes 48.2% popular vote

"Nobody voted for McCain" yet he got 45.7% of the popular vote and Trump got 46.1%. Almost the same percentage of people voted for McCain and Trump in their respective elections.

"Trump won in a landslide". Trump had a decent victory and prevailed as many of us thought he would. But it was hardly a "landslide". Trump got 61 fewer electoral votes than Obama in 2008. Even Obama's win in 2008 was not what I would consider a landslide. A landslide is the schlonging Reagan gave Mondale in '84 -- 525 electoral votes vs 13. Now THAT was a landslide.
