Get on board the Trump train.

If Trumps wins with 270 Electoral Votes to Biden’s 268, They will be on here claiming the American People gave Trump a huge mandate.

Solid Trump territory.

Trump in a HISTORIC MASSIVE LANDSLIDE!!!

Get on the winning side now.

IF Trump wins.

IF.

It will be similar to 2016, but on a smaller scale.

He will take a minority of the popular vote and win the necessary States by narrow pluralities.

honestly i think if that happens theres a good chance that some kind of civil war breaks out. maybe not a full scale war but i dont think the country will put up with another president that loses the popular vote

The MSM and polls all said Hillary will win in a landslide…and yet she lost in an EC landslide. Now…here we are again and the same are feeding, the same are eating and regurgibleeting.

When will they ever learn? When willlllll they evvvver learn?

moonshine · 2020-09-29T17:40:08.876Z

the final polls had her wining by 2-3%. which is what happened…

and yet she lost in an EC landslide.

Well that didn’t happen. Trump took three states by less then 1%. It was a razor thin EC win.

That wasn’t a landslide. It was unexpected, but not a landslide.

As a lifelong Buckeye, suburbs where I live still feel like Trump-land.
Lots of Trump flags and red hats.

If it’s anything like my neighborhood, anyone who puts up a Biden sign/flag is at risk of having rocks thrown thru their windows.

Yeah, we have some of those people in our neighborhood too.

highroller · 2020-09-29T17:45:26.629Z

TBF Trump was the first Republican to get more than 300 EC votes since the 80s…so maybe it looks like a landslide to him…

List of United States presidential elections by popular vote margin

In a United States presidential election, the popular vote is the total number or the percentage of votes cast for a candidate by voters in the 50 states and Washington, D.C.; the candidate who gains the most votes nationwide is said to have won the popular vote. However, the popular vote is not used to determine who is elected as the nation's president or vice president. Thus it is possible for the winner of the popular vote to end up losing the election, an outcome that has occurred on five o...

It is telling that the only two worse popular vote performers were John Quincy Adams and the corrupt bargain election of 1824 and the Rutherford Hayes election of 1876, which frankly goes down as the one Presidential election that can be considered to have been outright stolen.

In the modern era, the biggest popular vote landslide belongs to Warren Harding in 1920, who had a popular vote margin of 26.17%. Lyndon Johnson won the biggest percentage of the popular vote, 61.05% in 1964.

The last true popular vote landslide was Ronald Reagan in 1984, with an 18.64% margin and 58.7% of the popular vote.

There will be no popular vote landslide in this election.

Electoral Vote landslides are not really telling, because, as Trump himself showed us, they can be run up while losing the popular vote nationwide.

Georgia might be going blue this year.

Georgia will be interesting for sure.

Image is from Dave Leip’s Atlas, 2016 results. For some reason, he reverses the traditional blue and red, so red is Democrats and blue is Republicans.

Those red counties turning deeper red is likely what will flip the State, if it indeed flips.

Yes!!!

Agree, my friend. People, don’t get complacent. Vote!

They didn’t say that, and she didn’t lose that way.

Why do you feel obligated to post in a thread about polling, when it’s very obvious you do not understand the topic at even the most rudimentary level? When will you ever learn? Will you ever learn?
