False. Trump won 60% of electoral college. That's hefty
And the winner in something like 45 presidential elections (80%) had a larger margin than Trump's 56%, with 28 victors having over 80%.

It wasn't close, but if his is a landslide, than larger landslides are the overwhelming norm.

At least they're factual. If a a margin is in the bottom 20% of election margins, then that is not a landslide relative to presidential elections.

Edit: Poor spelling

Here's a fact for you, Donald J Trump will be sworn in as YOUR President of the United States on January 20th 2017. Facts are facts

This is true. So it fits into the fact side of the "fact > opinion" equation.

What a weird post. I'm not concerned about a Trump presidency, especially if he sticks to policies that limit or diminish government.

That I'm actually concerned (not irrelevant PT arguments) about Trump's presidency and my own daily life?

I'm concerned if he increases government, as a matter of principle, and I enjoy debating things on here, even if irrelevant in reality.

BUT I'm not concerned about how his presidency is going to impact me in regards to things that matter in my own life.

How is finishing the 46th out of 56 electoral elections considered a landslide?

I already brought this up. It's passive-aggressive statistics or something.

for you folks that keep suggesting that Trump was campaigning only in swing states for an EC majority, that's correct. and so was HRC. She did not campaign in CA or NY at all. Her campaign focused on the same states that DT did, for the most part.

Trump won, but he has no mandate at all.

So you're here spinning facts and you admit it, it's what you people do best. At least you owned up to it

I'm just saying that either elections are almost always landslides, or this wasn't a landslide. I'm OK calling it a landslide, as long as people realize the historical context.

Wtf are you talking about? Sickly Hillary went weeks at a time without showing her face within 6 months of 11/8, President Trump was having several rallies daily during that time in battle states. Please attempt to dispute that so we can further laugh at you.

I'm calling it a landslide to mock the Bill Clinton and Barack Obama wins where they called their margins a landslide.

In reality, it was an impressive win considering he was completely counted out. So yeah Slick Willie and Obummer fans, it was a LANDSLIDE!
