Claims That Trump Won In A ‘Landslide’ Are BS – He’s On Track To Win By About 1%

Within 24 hours of Donald Trump being named winner of the 2024 presidential election, headlines began circulating that suggested he’d done so by a “landslide.”

But the truth is that the election between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris will be decided by about 1 percentage point, which is nowhere near landslide proportions.

MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell expertly laid out the case against a landslide on his show Monday evening, noting:

“Ballots received in the mail tomorrow will be counted in California. So there are literally millions of ballots yet to be counted in this country, including in the state of Pennsylvania, where thousands of votes remain to be counted to determine the balance of the United States Senate.”

“Republicans will probably have 52 senators next year or 53 if Republicans win the Pennsylvania Senate election. The Democrats will probably have 47 members of the Senate or 48 if Democrat Bob Casey wins the Pennsylvania Senate race.”

The GOP will also have a narrow margin of control in the House.

“We still don’t know which party will control the House of Representatives, but we do know that it will be very close. As of tonight, Republicans have 214 seats in the House and Democrats have 205 seats in the House, according to NBC News, with 16 remaining to be decided.”

And then there’s the Trump-Harris margin of victory, which is getting smaller by the second as more ballots are tabulated.

“In the presidential vote. Donald Trump currently has 50.2% of the vote to Kamala Harris, 48.1% of the vote. But that margin will probably narrow after all the California votes are finally counted, and it is possible that Kamala Harris will end up with only one– 1% of the vote less than Donald Trump, a 1% gap. Right now, she’s at 2% less than Donald Trump.”

“If you hear anyone calling this election a landslide, please stop listening to that person! About elections, at least.”

What qualifies as a landslide? Well, when Bill Clinton won reelection in 1996 by a whopping 9%, even that wasn’t considered to be a landslide.

O’Donnell concluded his summary with this historical reminder of what a landslide looks like:

“The last landslide we had was Ronald Reagan’s reelection in 1984, where he won 49 states in the Electoral College, with only the state of Minnesota voting for Walter Mondale, who was from Minnesota. Ronald Reagan beat Walter Mondale by 18 points. That’s what a landslide looks like.”

Eric Swalwell Puts ‘Weasel’ Trump On Notice With A Defiant Warning

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) is making it clear that if Donald Trump thinks he can run the country without any pushback from Democrats, he’s sadly mistaken.

Swalwell was a guest on MSNBC Thursday, and he told host Ana Cabrera that Democrats are willing to work with Trump on some of his proposals, but they certainly don’t see him as trustworthy.

Cabrera asked Swalwell, “Did voters hand Trump and the Republican party a sweeping mandate?”

“Well, I respect the will of the people certainly,” the congressman replied. “I’m not going to respect the will of a weasel in Donald Trump; somebody who doesn’t understand these same voters don’t want government-mandated abortions. They don’t want a sweep-up and round-up of anyone who looks like an immigrant in this country. They don’t want us to walk away from our obligation to defend Ukraine.”

“There’s a lot we can work on together on if he wants to be serious, if he wants to have security at the border and address the workforce crisis,” he added. “With immigration, you’ll find more Democrats than not who want to be there with him.”

Swawell then issued a very clear warning to Trump and his GOP allies.

“If he wants to carry out grievances against his political enemies, he’s looking at the tallest fence in the post right now as to the effort that will fence in any of his corruption or political grievance campaigns.”

Congressional Democrats can serve as a serious check on the incoming Trump administration. They have oversight committees that can look into any questionable actions. And they also have access to all sorts of information they can make public if they suspect illegal activity. They are on the front lines of the resistance, and it’s time they do whatever must be done to expose the horrors Trump has planned for this country.

Nancy Pelosi’s Terrifying Prediction About Trump’s ‘Deteriorating’ Brain Is Something Every Voter Needs To Hear

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) wants every American voter to know something before they cast their ballot on Election Day, and her prediction about what to expect next from former president Donald Trump is dire.

During an appearance Sunday on MSNBC, Pelosi told host Jen Psaki that Trump’s recent campaign speeches in which he cannot manage to stay on topic are the clearest signs yet of “cognitive deterioration.”

“You saw, recently, when he was talking about whether he chose electrocution or being eaten by sharks. Something’s very wrong there.”

What does that mean for the country if Trump manages to win on Tuesday?

“So I think people who are thinking about voting for him have to know that he can’t last as president for four years with his brain deteriorating at the rate that it is and is clearly evident, and they may be voting for President Vance, which is a horrible thing for our country.”

The former House Speaker also talked about the right-wing violence which impacted her family when a Trump supporter broke into her home in 2022 and violently assaulted her husband, Paul, with a hammer.

“You’re right, our family has experienced the violence… coming into our house, violating the sanctity of our home, the safety of my husband, looking for me, echoing what was said on January 6th in the Capitol.”

Here’s the video from MSNBC:

Trump needs to lose and lose badly on Tuesday. If he doesn’t, this country is absolutely doomed.

Donald Trump Tells Supporters ‘We Have To Go Back To 1798’ – When Slavery Was Legal

Disgraced former president Donald Trump said Tuesday during a campaign rally in Greenville, North Carolina, that he has the perfect way to make America great again.

However, Trump’s plan would violate millions of people’s rights.

“If Kamala gets four more years, you will not have a country left,” Trump claimed. “Immediately upon taking the oath of office, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history.”

“I will rescue every town across America that has been invaded and conquered, and we will put these vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail or kick them the hell out of our country back to where they came from,” he added.

According to Trump, if he wins the 2024 election, he will reinstate the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to speed up deportations.

“Think of that, 1798. That’s when we had real politicians that said, we’re not going to play games.”

“We have to go back to 1798 to target and dismantle every migrant criminal network operating on American soil.”

However, as with nearly everything Trump proposes, there are some serious legal and civil rights problems with such a plan, not to mention that in 1798 this country still allowed for slavery and prohibited women from voting, as he was reminded on social media.

Republicans Terrified Trump Will Come Across ‘Like A Lab Rat Hitting The Cocaine’ At Tuesday’s Debate

Which version of convicted felon and former president Donald Trump will show up for Tuesday’s debate in Philadelphia? Will it be the one that easily won a debate with President Joe Biden in June, or will it be the undisciplined, enraged Trump who showed up for an impromptu “press conference” on Friday?

According to Republicans who spoke with Politico, an enraged and frantic Trump could doom himself and the GOP if he decides to channel his inner Mussolini and vent his spleen against Vice President Kamala Harris.

Tricia McLaughlin, who was a senior advisor to Vivek Ramaswamy, notes, “I think — I pray — he can be disciplined,” adding that if Trump feels both Harris and the moderators are against him, things could get very ugly.

“If Trump feels like he’s backed into a corner and feels like it’s three on one, that could be a problem.”

A close Trump ally who spoke confidentially suggested the disgraced ex-president has less to lose than Harris.

“Most voters have a locked-in view of Trump, so it’s not like his performance will radically change views. He just needs to not be overly aggressive and create a permission structure for swing voters fed up with the economy and the border to vote for him. The debate is far more consequential for Kamala Harris because voters don’t have a solidified view of her yet.”

Republican consultant Rob Stutzman said he’s terrified of how Trump will come across with millions of eyes on him.

“Harris will want to make personality the issue, which is hard for him to resist, but it will be a bad night for him if he falls back on hurling absurd insults at Harris.”

“She can deliver a set piece in a debate,” he continued. “Will he be able to resist taking the bait? Doubt it. He’ll more likely be like a lab rat hitting the cocaine pan instead of the food pan.”

In other words, Trump needs to be disciplined and keep himself under control. But considering that he doesn’t excel at either of those things, expect the coked-out lab rat exposing his teeth and screaming about being persecuted to be on full display.
