Trump had 304 electoral votes in 2016. Obama had 332 in 2012 and 365 in 2008. So if you call Trump's victory in 2016 a landslide, what do you call Obama's victories in 2008 and 2012? Super landslides? Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXXNo, Reagan’s was a super landslide victory:

But if anyone considers Trump's 2016 victory a landslide and the electoral vote was less than Obama's 2008 and 2012 electoral votes, then at a minimum Obama's victories were landslides. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

As I said, I was a huge Reagan supporter in 1980 and 1984.Agreed. Im not sure the country can take 4 more years of Trump. It would be as bad as 4 more years of me posting in here for 4 more years. I don't think people could handle it
Wasn't close? Trump won Michigan by 2 tenths of 1%. Won Wisconsin by 8 tenths of 1%. Won Pennsylvania by 7 tenths of 1%. That is CLOSE!! Congratulations to him for focusing on those 3 states and Clinton not doing so since she thought they were in the bag. I blame no one for Clinton's loss other than Clinton and her campaign team.

I can’t see how a “huge” supporter of Reagan votes for a guy like Obama. You must have had a lobotomy along the way.
