". . . Becomes the first presidential candidate to win more than 50% of the popular vote since 1988. . . ."

I wonder if the Democrats have sat down and asked themselves what it means that no Democrat has been elected President of the United States with a clear majority of the popular vote since 1976? Four times a Republican candidate has won 50%+ of the popular vote since Carter; Reagan in 1984 and 1986, George H. W. Bush in 1988, and George W. Bush in 2004.

Are there any Democrats who think that this statistic is meaningful?

Carter did not win a majority of the popular vote in 1976, I'm pretty sure. I think Johnson in 1964 was the last Dem to do it. May be wrong, though.
