Donald Trump Stands A Real Chance Of Being The Biggest Loser In Modern Elections

From yesterday's Huffington Post: The question is, will there be simply a landslide, or will we see the biggest landslide in history?

But Turnip will get more electoral college votes, so he could get a smaller percent of the total vote, and not seem like the biggest loser. Which he is, we already know that.

by Anonymousreply 1October 28, 2016 10:23 PM

This is ridiculous. Trump will get more electoral votes than Carter ('80), Dukakis, and Mondale COMBINED. Weren't those "modern elections?"

by Anonymousreply 2October 28, 2016 10:42 PM

How many did.Carter get? I can't believe R2 to be correct.

by Anonymousreply 3October 28, 2016 11:00 PM

R3

49+13+111=173

by Anonymousreply 4October 28, 2016 11:18 PM

Ok, he might get more electoral votes as R2 writes. Provided he doesn't have a breakdown.

I'll bet there are many people who will vote for him on the understanding that he cannot win. He's become a protest vote.

Only if you cherry pick numbers to tell the story you want r11. This isn't a horse race, the state of the electoral college heavily favors Hillary.

by Anonymousreply 12October 30, 2016 11:31 PM

List of Presidential landslides.

I'm voting for Hillary but there ain't no way it will be the largest landslide ever; Roosevelt received 98.5% of the electoral college in 1936.

Only a landslide. I doubt any president in modern history will win nearly every single state as Reagan did in the 80s.

by Anonymousreply 25November 8, 2016 1:32 AM

Very strange that people both think he'll have a sweeping victory, or a solid defeat.

Almost as unpredictable as the candidate himself.

No landslide. He's going to win by the smallest of margins. Packing up and heading for Canada in the morning.

Will you come back and apologize for your alarmist post tomorrow night, R34? I really wish you would.

I suspect it will be sickeningly close. I'm so unsettled at this point that I'm wondering if I am going to keep my dinner down. Seriously.

by Anonymousreply 36November 8, 2016 7:52 AM

R33 closes this thread. Mondale would be hard to beat; it will be a landslide, but not the biggest one ever.

If, somehow, Trump is elected, I would fully expect Canada and Mexico to close their borders.

by Anonymousreply 38November 8, 2016 8:03 AM

The blue and red firewalls are such That a 70s/80s level landslide is impossible for either party in the near future. Sorry, guys.

Dems were in a really dire place in the 80s and people forget (or weren't alive) all the states we now take for granted that Clinton had to flip - and did, and most of them have stuck. A totally blue state like New Jersey, for example, was a major battleground in '92. California had historically conservative pockets. It's amazing all the states Bill and his coalition were able to flip, and keep that way now going on 3 decades.

by Anonymousreply 39November 8, 2016 8:07 AM

I think Hillary is going to win but it's going to be close. I'm under no illusion that Trump has a lot of support. It's delusional to deny that. I feel like it's going to be a late night. I've slept so little in the past few days due to stress over this, it's going to be a struggle to stay up. My partner is getting fed up with my constant worry. He thinks Trump would never get any cooperation do accomplish anything anyway. If he wins and has both houses, this country as we know it is done, in my opinion.

Trumps got at least 190 electoral votes locked up. A landslide means Hillary needs at least 441 votes. The most she can get is 350

I'd call 350 a landslide

The Huffington Post’s editor's note calling Donald Trump as a “racist” and “xenophobe” is no more, a source in the newsroom tells POLITICO.

For months, every story on the Huffington Post about Trump came with the following note at the bottom of the article.

"Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S."

Yeah, r60, we'll be just as horrified with Joe Biden as President as when we saw Bill Clinton as President or Barack Obama as President. Why just compare the damage those two did when compared with the massively awesome job that George W. Bush did and Donald Trump did. Truly, there is no comparison.

Really, if you're going to troll here, can't you at least make an effort?

by Anonymousreply 62October 7, 2020 1:33 AM

No, No, No. Stop this talk right now. We have to keep running as fast as we can until over the finish line. Trump strategists want us to relax, slow down a bit, so they can run past us and win by a nose. Like last time.

by Anonymousreply 63October 7, 2020 1:36 AM

Jon Cooper posted this tonight and I have no reason to doubt it.

Tomorrow would be a good day for Trump to throw out that "I Resign" tweet. "GOP source w/ White House ties: “Trump is being advised to resign in honor rather than leave in defeat. He fears prison. He wants to maintain campaign, but without Hicks, Conway & Miller, he's done. He’s really alone. He must be speaking with Pence about a pardon.”

We will never EVER see the kinds of landslides we saw in the '80s. They could run Satan as a Republican and he'd still get more electoral votes than Mondale, Carter ('80) and Dukakis -- COMBINED.

r62, the only "damage" trumps done is the collateral damage done by the deranged media as the saw he was starting to disassemble that diabolical, self-serving beast of a government and globalist interests.

[quote] There is, it turns out, a role in this biggest-loser crusade for people who don’t want to vote for either Trump or Clinton. Any vote that is cast for someone or something other than Trump puts the tiniest dent in his vote percentage, since it increases the total number of votes. So your Constitution Party vote, or your write-in vote for “WEED,” actually has a purpose this year.

These clueless HuffPost cunts actually *encouraged* Jill Stein votes in this article. This was devastating advice.
