        It was a landslide in the votes that mattered: The Electoral College. Dude got almost 100 more votes there than her, that’s a landslide

        popular vote doesn’t mean jack shit, unfortunately

          No, it wasn’t, even by the extremely biased and undemocratic standard of the electoral college.

          By percentage of electoral college votes, Trump’s victory ranks 44th out of 60 elections. This is a solidly below-average victory and far from a landslide.

          I mean, the electoral college is a weird weighing of the popular vote by state; ergo, the popular vote does mean things, but the popular vote doesn’t.
