Americans are about to get the first landslide president we don’t want
We’ve got a presidential campaign that stars one of the most polarizing, divisive and talked-about figures in American life, an international celebrity and lightning rod for all sociopolitical topics going back a quarter of a century.
And she’s become a bystander in this race.
On Thursday, after the usual barrage and tumult of nuttier-than-a-Skippy-factory stories about the Donald Trump campaign, Hillary Clinton didn’t show up until page A15 of that day’s edition of The New York Times, in a story in which she practically begged America, “Hey! Over here! I’m in this thing too!”

That you Erickson?
This is like the old Yogi Berra joke:
"Hey, Yogi, do you want to go get lunch at that pizza place?"
"That place? No one goes there anymore! It's too crowded!"
Am I the only one who is confused by this?
What a load of baloney.
If you’re my age, you’ll recall America already has had a landslide President we didn’t want.
“Landslide Lyndon” Johnson in 1964.
"Hillary Clinton, it appears, will be elected president on Nov. 8 and probably by a margin in the “wide” to “vast” range."
Based on WHAT info?? Where is he getting this?
He must be in a ‘clouded’ opium den somewhere. “Go back to sleep!”
From his colon.
He knows about all the voting fraud that will happen. If Hillary wins by a “landslide” the books were cooked for sure.
If the election is about Hillary, she will lose - if about Trump, he will lose.
Funny. I took it to mean this libtard is admitting Trump will win by a landslide.
You say:
“Am I the only one who is confused by this?”
Just enjoy reading the comments until someone who has bothered to read the entire article explains and we all can have a good laugh.
Just sayin
Kind of like the Roman Empire in its final days.
The president that leftards don’t want maybe.
Trump is going to win by a landslide.
Because the citizens see that this is our last chance to keep our country.
The politicians are trying to give it away.
Or more accurately sell it out from under us.
To Kyle:
What do you mean “we”, Kimosabe?
I’m a Trump supporter. He wasn’t my first choice, but my first choice lost—and has since disgraced himself by failing to support Trump. For all his faults, he’s clearly the better choice. I desperately want him to win.
However, what I don’t see anywhere is any EVIDENCE (i.e., DATA) that he is likely to do so. The only evidence (data) we have on which to base any kind of rational prediction is the polls, however flawed and biased they are, and they don’t show Trump actually winning, especially in the states that matter.
There are arguments to be made that the polls are grossly biased in Hillary’s favor. But arguments are not evidence (data). It’s true that Trump seems to get far more people than Hillary at his campaign events. It’s true that he’s pretty close in the polls, even after a month of intense Trump bashing. It’s true that he’s slowly closing the gap in the polls. We can make all sorts of arguments that this shows that he will win in November. But these arguments are simply theories interpreting a combination of evidence (polls) and anecdotes that may or may not reflect if people will actually vote, and if so, how.
So this guy offers a theory that Hillary will win in a landslide. It’s nothing more than a theory weakly supported by evidence (data). But what evidence (data) there is does, in fact, support his theory, however weakly.
None of us actually know how this is going to turn out. When it comes to making accurate predictions about the election, we’re all biased by our hopes, by desperation, by the demographics of the state in which we live, by the political positions of our families, friends, acquaintances, and co-workers. But none of us has an accurate knowledge of how the 6 or 7 states that will decide the election will actually vote.
So all we can do is to assume that Trump has a decent shot at winning, and do our best to convince others to vote for him. If we know people who live in those 6 or 7 crucial states, concentrate on them.
“Kind of like the Roman Empire in its final days.”
Yeah, only instead of invading Germanic tribes, we get Muslims this time and they’re evil destruction upon the land.
Goths assimilated, converted to Christianity, intermarried with Romans and infused fresh blood into Western Civilization. Visigoth Spain was a flourishing Christian kingdom until the Moors invaded in the 8th century.
