As if it were planned, liberals who hang on every word of Mockingbird propagandist outlets like the New York Times and Politico woke up this morning to two inaccurate, but reassuring headlines from each of the aforementioned media conglomerates.
Politico published a piece titled “Trump Won Less Than 50 Percent. Why is Everyone Calling it a Landslide?” while the New York Times writes, “The ‘Landslide’ That Wasn’t: Trump and Allies Pump up His Narrow Victory.”
In the stand-first below the title, NY Times’ Chief White House Correspondent Peter Bake writes:
The latest vote count shows that Donald J. Trump won the popular vote by one of the smallest margins since the 19th century. But Mr. Trump claims a “powerful mandate.”
Politico’s Michael Schaffer is a little more blunt in his stand-first, stating, “Right and left have bought the narrative of a crushing triumph. They’re wrong.”
But are they wrong?
In 2012, the San Francisco Giants swept the Detroit Tigers in the World Series, winning four straight games. That was 12 years ago, in which a World Series has occurred in each succeeding season. In that same time frame, there have been just four elections, including both 2012 and 2024.
Prior to the 2012 sweep in the World Series, the last sweep was 22 years prior in 1990 when the Cincinnati Reds swept the Oakland A’s.
In either of those World Series, it is irrelevant what the score of the individual games are. Even if they won by just a single run, winning is winning. But a sweep is monumental!
Well, get out your brooms because a “sweep” is precisely what Donald Trump did in the 2024 Presidential Election.
Not only did President Trump win 312 electoral votes to 226 and the popular vote, the first time a Republican had done so in 20 years, he also swept every single “swing state” from 2020 and picked up a win in Nevada, where he broke a four-election win streak for the Democrats.
Trump won Florida by more than 13 points, or almost 1.5 million votes. This included a ‘yuge’ win in the former Democrat stronghold of Miami-Dade County by an earth-shattering 11.5%. This small victory could perhaps be the single largest county swing after Joe Biden ‘won’ Miami-Dade by 7.3% in 2020.
That’s a 18.8% swing in Florida’s most populous county.
The electorate in the United States is pretty solid in either direction. Statewide Republican candidates aren’t likely to win California, New York, or Massachusetts, while Democrats aren’t likely to win Texas, Florida, or Oklahoma.
Contrary to “fact checks,” Kamala Harris won all but two of the states that do not require voters to show an ID (Pennsylvania and Nevada). Strange, huh? Of the remaining 35 states requiring voter ID, President Trump won all but six: Virginia, Colorado, Delaware, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire.
However, the ‘not a landslide’ didn’t end with the Presidency. The Republicans flipped seven seats in the House to maintain a majority, currently at 219 to 213. To be fair, Democrats flipped six with three races still undecided, but the Republican is leading in two of the three races.
Furthermore, the GOP completed the trifecta by winning the Senate in a 53-47 majority.
Totally ‘not a landslide,’ though.
Unfortunately for the Mockingbird outlets mentioned above, the ‘not a landslide‘ doesn’t end there.
- The GOP retook the Michigan House after two years of a Democrat majority
- In Minnesota, they brought the margin to a tie
- In Pennsylvania, the GOP closed the gap to one in the House while retaining control over the commonwealth’s Senate
- In New Hampshire, the GOP expanded their control of the House and achieved a supermajority in the Senate
- In both Iowa and South Carolina, the GOP also picked up supermajorities
All of this was accomplished while being outspent in the state legislative races by $175 million to just $50 million, according to NBC.
Despite the totally ‘not a landslide’ from the GOP this election cycle under the RNC leadership of Chair Michael Whatley and Co-Chair Lara Trump, President Trump is still facing apparent obfuscation from Establishment neocons in the Senate. This resulted in Matt Gaetz withdrawing from the Attorney General appointment in the face of a years-long sexual assault allegation that was investigated by the DOJ with no charges brought.
And as we move along, a new allegation against Secretary of Defense appointee Pete Hegseth seems like a veiled attempt to thwart another one of President Trump’s nominees.
