Clinton's 2.9 million popular vote win was larger than percentage margin of EIGHT other U.S. presidential elections

Trump and his minions are claiming somehow that they took the White House in a landslide; nothing could be further from the truth.

In fact, Clinton won the popular vote by a larger margin than in eight other U.S. presidential elections, as the following chart shows:

Won popular vote    Year    Percentage point margin    Won Electoral College

Hillary Clinton          2016                 2.1                               Donald Trump

Jimmy Carter           1976                  2.06                             Carter

Put another way, Clinton won the popular vote by a larger margin than in eight of the other 57 presidential elections in U.S. history. Remember how mad many of us were in 2000 when Gore won the popular vote and the White House was stolen from him? He only won by a larger margin in two other races.

Since Trump is on twitter, I am tweeting this post to him on a daily basis just to remind him and his supporters they didn't come close to winning. Trump is the epitome of an illegitimate president - thus he should rightly be called a bastard. 

Here are some of my tweets to Trump:

 Another facet is Gregory Palast's reports on the recounts in Michigan, Wisconsin and PA. If they were fair, Trump would not be in the White House. See Palast's reports here.
