The only people who are saying "landslide" are those like you who are desperately trying to legitimize Donald's win.

He's a historically unpopular PEOTUS and no one likes him except for a rabid minority.

He's an obese 70 year old. I'm hoping he pulls a Scalia.


Well this is not quite right either... He got a reasonable percentage of the vote, and he won the Electoral College, which does make him the legitimate PEOTUS. I think his fanbase is a little larger than a rabid minority... though I can not disgaree there is a rabid group in there.

He has a 44% approval in a recent poll, but lets face it, polls said Hilary would probably win, so lets grab some salt there as well. It is a very low number for a president elect, but it's not single digits.

I still think he's a thin skinned media savvy flim-flam man, mind you, with really no idea of what effects many of pronoucements have. But he's waht you guys have got for now...

while those below him will set policy and govern


So you think he'll be like every other
president in the last 100 years, then.

This is the exact same argument Donald tried to make (on Twitter) today.

Quote:
Polls were roughly as accurate as they've been since '68. Trump beat his average nat'l poll by 1.8 points, swing state poll by 2.7 points.


So let's be generous and add +3 to Donald's favorabilty ratings. Congrats, you're still the most unpopular PEOTUS in a generation!

Oh, I have no doubt he's mostly unpopular, just saying 'and?'... the poll is not important yet... give it 100 days, and I'll read the polls because he's had some actionable items by then.

So lefties are now stuck on trying to tag Trump's Presidency as "illegitimate." What a bunch of bull. No, he didn't win in huge popular or electoral landslide, but his electoral margin was significant and it was well above the number required for election. how the hell that makes him "illegitimate" is beyond reason.

Poll results are quoted...he's so unpopular. Thing is...no lefty seems to want to address how wrong the polls were about the election, the disconnect between Obama's popularity and the large amount of ground they lost in November, and their candidate's failure to do even the minimum necessary to get herself elected "legitimately"...

Trump was elected legitimately.

He will be sworn in Friday.

We'll see how he does after that.

Stop the stupidity of claiming he is an "illegitimate" President.

Why? They kept up the mantra that
Bush stole the election for all 8
years of his presidency. You fail
to see how robotized and brain
dead these zombies are..

What is even funnier is they kept it up even as Gore was the one trying to steal it in the courts. They still think Gore was asking for a full recount. No reason to think they will not keep it up another 8 years.
The President is a fink.

But didn't 99.9999% of America vote to elect him King Golden Boy the First??

From how his supporters go on, you'd think the percentage was 100.7%, and it would have been 101% had not a half trillion illegals voted for Clinton.

Now Trump is saying the press is going
so bonkers over moving the press room
that for now it will stay where it is. But,
he said, they will be inviting a lot of new
people in and kicking regular people
out, so don't be surprised if the press
wants a bigger room very soon.
