Why Donald Trump’s Electoral College win is the weakest victory in American history

[Claudette]

Another lamo thread brought to you by the sore loser Shittingbull.

Sorry there SB but nothing you do will change the outcome.

Hillary lost. Trump won and will be sworn in on 20 Jan 2017 as POTUS.

Deal with it. Or not. None of us really give a shit. LOL

Trump will suffer the wrath of American patriots like me during his entire (hopefully limited) time in the White House. Just like NaziCons would have trashed Hillary had she won. Get used to it.

LMAO No Trump will get the support of American Patriots. Not you of course being the dumbass that you are.

Carry on dumbass. Oh and you need more butthurt cream big time.

Here is something hilarious that I've noticed since Trump's "artificial" win: It really chafes NaziCon ass that Hillary won the most popular votes in American history - almost 3 million more than Trump...and still counting.

Do you not agree with the facts as stated in the OP? If not, why?

Sorry to disappoint but the only one it chafed is you because the PV didn't win the election. The EC did.

Carry on dumbass.

chaffs asses?

MOst are laughing that the landslide electoral victory was pretty much reversed.
Only chaffing going on is from the left, because all those votes dont' mean shit

That's okay. What could go wrong?

Trump not only lost the popular vote

Caused by one state, California.

Here's something that will piss you off:

I don't think I need to 'splain it to you, but outside of California, Trump won the popular vote. Clinton beat Trump in California by 4.2 million votes, yet only won by 2.8 million.

Outside of CA, Trump would have won the Popular Vote, and not lost any of his EC votes. Clinton, on the other hand, would have gone down by 55 votes to 177. Therefore, DJT does have a mandate in the other 49 states.

Now what do you have to say?

 

[Fueri]

yeah that sure was a close one...

What's wrong with California? You mean because it was the LARGEST state to report LAST? Pretend California was in the EASTERN time zone - one of the states to report first. If you count from 1 to 10 - which number did you count last?

The key word in your liberal butt-hurt snowflake title is 'VICTORY'....which is a lot better than Hillary's 'DEFEAT'!

Nothing wrong with California other than they have the largest population of fruits and nuts of any state, or territory, in the union. Besides that, it's fine.

Hillary Clinton has suffered the worst defeat in American history. After all the cheating she could buy, having the entire media, political establishment, and all the special interest you could imagine on her side, having an advantage of 30 years of experience... still could not take on a political nobody. Let's not forget she outspent Trump 2:1.

Perhaps it's time to change your ideology after defeat such as that?

...and she still lost
...and liberals still lost all those seats / governorships

Worst defeat ever indeed.

The Presidential Election of 2016 is unique in many ways, with maybe the most fascinating being that Donald Trump not only lost the popular vote by the largest margin of any President in total votes (2.84 million votes and counting), he also could not blame that fact on the presence of a strong third party challenger.

Not only did Donald Trump become the worst example of the Electoral College quandary that has now led to five Presidents losing the popular vote but being inaugurated President. Trump also became the 7th lowest popular percentage winner of the Presidency, with all six Presidents who had a lower popular vote percentage being part of an election in which a third or fourth party candidate had drawn substantial support. That wasn’t true in the election of 2016.

These are the relevant elections, ranked in order from lowest popular vote getter:

John Quincy Adams won a four-way race with a Democratic-Republican Party splitting up in the first popular vote election in 1824, winning 30.92 percent of the vote, ending up second in popular votes but winning the Presidency in the House of Representatives, over the first place popular and electoral vote winner, Andrew Jackson. (Jackson failed to win the presidency because he lacked a majority of the electoral vote, forcing the election into the House of Representatives.) Henry Clay and William Crawford also received electoral votes in that election which reorganized the party system. Jackson had a popular vote margin of about 38,000 over Adams, so Adams became the only popular vote loser among the lowest Presidents inaugurated, until now joined by Donald Trump.

Abraham Lincoln won 39.65 percent of the vote in the Presidential Election of 1860, with his three competitors being Stephen Douglas, John C. Breckinridge, and John Bell, and all four winning electoral votes, but with Lincoln winning the second lowest percentage ever due to winning only the Northern “free states.”

Woodrow Wilson won 41.84 percent of the vote in the Presidential Election of 1912, with four candidates in the race, and two of his opponents, President William Howard Taft, and former President Theodore Roosevelt (Progressive Bull Moose Party) winning electoral votes, with TR having the best third party popular vote and electoral vote performance in all of American history, 6 states, 27.4 percent of the total popular vote, and 88 electoral votes.

Bill Clinton won 43.01 percent of the vote in the Presidential Election of 1992, with President George H. W. Bush and H. Ross Perot, running as an Independent. Perot won no states in the Electoral College, but won 18.9 percent of the popular vote, the third best performance in that regard, causing Clinton to win the fourth lowest popular vote percentage in American history.

Richard Nixon won 43.42 percent of the vote in the Presidential Election of 1968 against Democrat Hubert Humphrey and George Wallace, who ran on the American Independent Party line. Wallace gained 5 states, 13.5 percent of the total popular vote (fifth best ever in American history), and 46 electoral votes, the second best total after TR in 1912.

James Buchanan won 45.29 percent of the vote in the Presidential Election of 1856, with John C. Fremont and former President Millard Fillmore running on the American (Know Nothing) party line, and winning 21.5 percent of the total popular vote, and gaining the 8 electoral votes of Maryland. In so doing, Fillmore had the second highest percentage of the popular vote of any third party in American history, behind TR in 1912.

Therefore, Trump cannot factually claim that he has any kind of mandate. He doesn't.

Please read the OP - then tell us again how it was the "worst defeat ever indeed".
