sorry, punter. If a horse stops at 49.9% or 99%, of the distance to win, it gets no prize. Even it gets along by a landslide. Even with Donald 'Grab 'em' Trump as jockey.

meh

trump as a private citizen comes down a set of escalators and says he is going to run for president and then wins the house, senate, supreme court

and wankers want to say he isnt a winner
Cheesy

show me where THAT was ever done before Roll Eyes

The funny thing was that the crowd at the bottom of the escalator were all paid to be there.

The clown was a bad joke from day one.

Yes, Trump won the popular vote and the electoral college. Yes, Republicans won the Senate and the House. But, contrary to both Republican talking points and breathless headlines and hot takes from leading media outlets (“resounding”, “rout”, “runaway win”), there was really nothing at all historic or huge about the margin of victory.

There was no “landslide”. There was no “blowout”. There was no “sweeping” mandate given to Trump by the electorate. The numbers don’t lie.

First, consider the popular vote. Yes, Trump became the first Republican for two decades to win the popular vote. However, per results from CNN, the Cook Political Report, and the New York Times, he did not win a majority of the vote. Barack Obama did in both 2008 and 2012. Joe Biden did in 2020. But Donald Trump failed to do so in 2024.

And the former president’s margin of victory over Harris is a miniscule 1.6 percentage points, “smaller than that of every winning president since 1888 other than two: John F Kennedy in 1960 and Richard M Nixon in 1968”, as an analysis in the New York Times noted last month. In fact, in the 55 presidential elections in which the popular vote winner became president, 49 of them were won with a margin bigger than Trump’s in 2024.

It was a landslide.

Harris wasn't even elected as the Democratic nominee. She has never been elected for anything. She was a puppet's puppet.

A dodged bullet.

Consider the electoral college. Trump won 312 votes, which is 42 more than is needed to secure victory in the electoral college.

But it’s still far fewer than Bill Clinton won in 1992 (370) and 1996 (379) and far fewer than Barack Obama won in 2008 (365) and 2012 (332).

And it is pretty similar to what Trump himself won in 2016 (304) and what Biden won in 2020 (306).

Trump’s margin of victory in the electoral college ranks 44 out of the 60 presidential elections in American history.

2007 - elected San Francisco District Attorney with 98.5% of the vote.

2010 - elected California Attorney General (overseeing the largest state Justice Department in the U.S.}

2014 - elected California Attorney General (again).

2016 - elected to the United States Senate in California

2020 - elected Vice President.

Ok, massive victory, then.

In the face of spineless creeps like you and the entire Big Media and Big Uniparty apparatus, Lawfare, two impeachment, unrelenting hate and sledging.

The biggest landslide FU! In living memory. And FU! is correct.

Karnal, Bbwiyawn, duckwit, cholera et al might think like you, clap like you, sneer like you but you still got nowhere with your 8 years of TDS. You still have your heads up each others' arses, you still talk yeah but no but gibberish. And you will go on doing it for the next 4 years and then for 8 more years of the Vance presidency.

There's 12 YEARS of FU! - keep squirming, leftard regards. How good is T H A T?!!?

Donald Trump didn’t win by a historic landslide. It’s time to nip that lie in the bud

In 2024, we have a new post-election lie – Trump didn’t just win, Republicans say, but he won big. He won a landslide.

That’s false.

Mehdi Hasan is a broadcaster and author, and a former host on MSNBC. He is also a Guardian US columnist and the editor-in-chief of Zeteo.

Which of his numbers are incorrect?

We can go through them one by one if you wish.

"First, consider the popular vote. Yes, Trump became the first Republican for two decades to win the popular vote. However, per results from CNN, the Cook Political Report, and the New York Times, he did not win a majority of the vote. Barack Obama did in both 2008 and 2012. Joe Biden did in 2020. But Donald Trump failed to do so in 2024."

So, is any of that incorrect?

No, of course it isn't. They're all verifiable facts.

So, what will you do now - change the subject (the obvious move from you) or maybe make fun of the messenger's name?

They were all hired extras, offered $50 each to pretend they were there to support Trump - that's absolutely true.

However, as with most people employed by Trump, it's very unlikely that any of them were actually paid.

A dodged bullet.

Bulldust,

WASHINGTON — The Democratic National Committee announced late Monday that Vice President Kamala Harris had secured the support of 99% of delegates to formally become the party’s presidential nominee, following the conclusion of a five-day virtual vote.

The results, which included a state-by-state breakdown, followed the DNC announcing Friday that Harris had surpassed the number of delegates needed to become the nominee as voting proceeded. She was the only candidate to qualify. The DNC said 4,567 delegates cast their votes for her.

The next steps will be the certification of the roll call by the convention secretary, Jason Rae, and the acceptance of the nomination by Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

why are trump supporters so dumb?

Harris was the only candidate eligible to receive votes after no other candidate qualified by the party’s deadline.
