Quote:I don't think Obama claimed a landslide, and if he did, he is exaggerating. But it was a definitive victory; twice. The first time, more so. Trump did not only not get a landslide, as he claimed, he did not get a definitive win, and got no mandate at all.
Not only that, but the Democrats with their 2.8 million popular vote win have a mandate to kill the Ryan plan's tax increases on the working poor - singles without children working full time at less than $10 an hour and the bottom 51% of all single parents - just as the Senate Democrats extorted a cut in the bottom income tax rate from 15% to 10% after another Republican President had lost the popular vote in 2000, and by over 2 million less than Trump lost it.
"These, and many other matters which might be noticed, add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that this is a Christian nation" - Justice David Brewer, Church of the Holy Trinity v. United States, 1892
