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

[BlindBoo]

LOL That very well may be as well as other grisly bits, but fact remains.....

List of United States presidential elections by Electoral College margin - Wikipedia

Wikipedia? LOL. Did you just edit it?

Find a real source.

Like what? Math? Election results?

Bastards. They lied. It was 56.51% not 56.50%.

Still 46th. In the lowest 10.

But to the Groper Elect it is the greatest victory in the history of the country.

I have no idea what you are babbling about or what you're trying to do. 232 to 306 is way more than .01%. How you feel about it doesn't matter, he won and will undo lots of obie's shit.

Division. Fractions. Percentages. You know, simple math.

He got 304 out of 538. 56.5%

More like fuzzy math. Explain how 232 is close.

Nothing fuzzy about it. The winning number today is any number 270 or above.

 

[Derelict_Drvr]

By the numbers it's the 46th smallest margins of victory out of 55.

Far inferior to President Obama win in 2008 at number 32.

232 to 306? You're full of shit.

FYI, Trump won the EC vote by 14.3%. Clinton - 42.2% of EC, Trump - 56.5% of the EC. The 7 unfaithful votes was 1.3% of the EC.

For the life of me, I can't figure out when Billybooboo got the .01% from.

Well as much as the Republicans accepted Obama as their leader.

then consider it will deserved revenge. you had your terrorist backing anti American and now you have to deal with someone that is actually going to try to do things for the better of the country.
Must really burn you all up.
I think its funny.

Sure sure, tell me how long have you perceived the President of the United States to be "terrorist backing anti American"? We all know that the Groper Elect is a Russian backed heathen anti American Viking who is out to destroy this nation. (Hide the Women and Children)!

calm down dude, you are falling apart at an alarming rate. The butt hurt is going to consume you.

That Viking is going rape all of Mer-Ka. Mark my words. You'll be like poor old Ned in Deliverance.

dont know where you have been for the last 8 years but that rape has been going on non stop, hillary would have only continued it. the dems are the true party of hate, they hate anyone that is able to provide for themselves without government handouts, and they will do anything they can to make sure those people fail. If Im wrong, explain the increase in social services in the country over the last 8 years. Of course those already collecting their free way of life see no problem with this at all. But you guys are going to find out that you will have to start figuring out ways to take care of yourselves as the freebies start to slowly be reduced in the very near future.
America just might be back on track to being restored to its once great status.

See the problem is that you believe the above where as I was doing my best to be sarcastic.

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

Nice to see where all the LWL's are getting their memes: History News Network

Agreed Trump doesn't have a mandate, but what level do you consider a mandate? 2%% 5%? 10%? I'd say somewhere in the 20% range. According to that, the only President in modern times to come close was Reagan: List of United States presidential elections by popular vote margin - Wikipedia

[miketx]

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.

I wonder, how many more times you will regurgitate that useless statement? No one cares. Trump is going to be president. Leave the country.

 

[tycho1572]

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.

Far inferior to President Obama win in 2008 at number 32.

True, but what does that have to do with the price of wheat in Kansas? Olympic gold is often separated from no medal by fractions of a second. A win's a win and Hillary lost. Get used to President Trump's picture hanging in every public school, post office and military base.
