YES, DONALD TRUMP WON A LANDSLIDE AND HAS A MANDATE.
Progressives, step up and take ownership of having been crushed or face it again in 2018.
Here's why.
From the Huffington Post, certainly NOT a right leaning site.
Scenario 4 — Clinton wins over 400 in a landslide
The real question that has been running through my mind for the past week or so is whether Clinton can actually break the 400 Electoral Vote barrier. This hasn’t happened since 1988, but it used to be a lot more common. In the 10 elections from 1952 through 1988, the winning candidate got more than 400 votes seven times (Carter, Kennedy, and Nixon’s first election all fell short).
So let’s think optimistically about how Hillary Clinton could pull off this feat. Hillary not only wins all the states Obama won in 2008 (including Indiana), she also picks up all of the battleground states except Arkansas. Utah’s Mormons decide they can’t vote for Trump. Arizona flips, with record Latino turnout. Clinton takes the whole Midwest, including Iowa and Missouri. She wins Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida — and also picks up Georgia (which will shock everyone, no doubt). Here is the map showing Clinton winning 401 Electoral College votes.

Bottom line, bitterly denied by Progressives is that it was Donald Trump who WON 306 votes as opposed to Hillary Clinton's 232 votes. A massive shift of ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY VOTES. That is a 340 vote difference.
Face it Progressives. Whine all you want but you were crushed just as was your economic messiah, Paul Krugman.
