Yes his electoral count is what election experts call a pretty big landslide (305-227), nearly as big as Obama over Romney (332-206).

Why there are two houses of congress. Senate for those seeking a solution for not giving all the governing power to the more populous states. The HofR is more reflective of the general population and it's funny because the GOP holds a larger margin in the HofR than the Senate. They made it this way on purpose so idiots on the coasts couldn't force their will on the middle less populous states. Read a book and UNDERSTAND what it is telling you.

If everyone was as liberal as you want people to believe, then why are 3/4 of both the state legislatures and governorships GOP controlled? Gerrymandering can't explain the Governorships so don't go there please. It's a tired and old argument that Dems use when they are in the minority of everything, but not when they are winning like the past 8 years. They couldn't muster the votes to pass the ACA so they nuked the filibuster, now they live with that decision and as soon as either this stuff goes away with Kushner being removed from the WH or Pence in power, either way. It's going to be an ugly 4 years at least for liberals as the conservative's smash every single thing down their throats and there isn't a thing they can do about it.
