Now I understand what you are saying. I personally wouldn't consider a win by 10% of the votes a landslide but obviously it is subjective. I would consider a win by about 125 electoral votes a landslide. If I had to guess now I would say Biden by 10 to 20 electoral votes. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

The problem with that is the landslide winner of the popular vote could still lose the election. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

Look at it this way I said 305 or more is a landslide Thats 305 to 235 Lets say the NBA championship is 3 games and total score wins like golf So Laker 305 vs the Heat 235 Thats blow out city. A landslide when looking at it from a sports perspective :-) Its the only way to rate scores. Compare the same scores to sports and how you view that score 305 to 235 in a basketball game is not even competitive. Snoozefest with a guaranteed winner unlike last nites close game 7 Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

I would say that 305 to 235 is close to a landslide but falls short. A win by 70 points out of a total of 540 is big but not enough for me to consider it a landslide. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

| Shrek Member since: Aug 13, 2019 Threads: 6 Posts: 1635 | Yep, he can't stop talking about the pee tape. I almost threw up that time he talked about drinking piss though. 🤢 I'd really hate to see what's saved on his hard drive. 🤮 So this guy has the audacity to criticize someone else's argument?? lol... He hasn't made a decent argument in the entire year he's been here. 😂😂 |

Good lord, this guy's a sleazebag too! I never really pay much attention to him since he's a lame ass libbie, but I just read that he fathered a child with Jeff Greenfield's daughter and then tried to pay her to get an abortion. What a freakin scumbag man!! |

See DRich We agree :-) :-) :-) in a historical sense I said 305 or more. All the above landslides are above 305 not a landslide below 305 We are in total agreement on what constitutes a landslide historically Hopefully Biden can get it done I think a landslide is important to make sure of a peaceful transition rather then contested Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |
