I was listening to a rdaio show where a mainstream republican analyst says Republicans need to be more moderate and distance themselves from trump to do well in 2018. lol comical.
Then I just read this off ann coulters twitter feed.
Illegal immigration and border security, voter id laws and stopping voter fraud and guys like kris kobach, job outsourcing and globalism,repairing infrastructure, cracking down on welfare and crime,are issues where republicans are going to win.
These never trump republicans should be voted out and banished after their humiliation
Obviously some people define Landslide in a very different way, 37% of the voters is not a landslide in my dictionary.
A 38 EC vote margin loss, and a 34 margin vicory is not a landslide, especially when you loose the popular vote by 3 million. In fact, EC-wise, it is near the bottom.
57% of the electoral vote is a comfortably large victory.
Could have lost either Pa or Florida, or both Michigan and Wisconsin, w/o changing who won.
This wasn't a nail biter. I was happy for that, as I had a big interview the next day. Got to go to bed early, peacefully knowing the HildeBeast had been crushed.

If I do say so, knowing the debate cheating Hildebeast was locked up in a room somewhere throwing fits and temper tantrums was probably the best part of the evening.

Hitting Bill cause he promised her no doubt "You sing "Stand By Your Man" for me, in the future, you will be POTUS". LOL!

No win in the popular vote, for one thing. The votes that counted (538-something number of electoral votes) were nicely organized and shepherded behind the scenes. The powers involved only needed to focus on that tiny fraction of the millions in this country.
He did not win in a landslide. His actual electoral victory, when compared to other presidential elections, was pretty unimpressive (see comparison here), which makes sense given he lost the popular vote by 3 million.
Voter turnout was also quite low. Trump's approval ratings have been low as well. This suggests that Trump's popularity is more noise than substance. Noisy enough to be noteworthy, I'll give him that. But imagine if voter turnout spikes in 2020?
Trump had 304 EC votes, the most out of a republican candidate since Bush #41 in 1988.
And with Hillary's popular vote margin, she only had it in a few states like California and New York.
Guess Hillary didn't realize it's the EC that decides who wins
