Former Democratic presidential candidate Jim Webb sent a rare tweet Tuesday, poking fun at former President Bill Clinton's recent statement that he won the 1992 presidential election in a "landslide."
"Bill Clinton reminds media that he won by a 'landslide' in electoral college," the former Virginia senator tweeted. "Let's remember he won only 43 percent of the popular vote."

Clintons are in trouble. I’ve never seen them openly mocked this often.
He would have been destroyed by a competent Republican.
I only wish Newt had ran against him in 96. It would have been a bloodbath
LOL drudge would be proud of your picture choices
Thanks, Jim Webb, for reminding everyone.
Bill Clinton 43%
George Bush the father 34%
Ross Perot 19%
I wonder if Jim Webb is considering a run for POTUS?
That’s the best picture of the twice impeached bent one of ever!
Clinton had too much information on Newt. Newt was compromised by his personal behavior that did not play well with traditional conservatives.
“I only wish Newt had ran against him in 96. It would have been a bloodbath”
If memory serves me right the Republican Elites had the long knives out for Newt and caused his ouster from the speakership. So I don’t know how he would have done.
Webb ran this year but was gone within the first few weeks.
Bush 37%
Yeah they are going down hard and everyone knows it
Jack Kemp or Rudy Giuliani would have beaten Clinton in ‘96.
If ever the Democrats win a presidential election, it is always by the narrowest of margins. Clinton 1992 and 1996 were tight elections as was Obama 2008 and 2102.
Trump on the other hand, trounced Hillary.
Conversely Jim Webb probably would have destroyed Trump. Thankfully the Democrats went with the worst candidate in the primary (not counting the elector crank Prof. Lessig).
Jack Kemp, whose whole debate against Algore basically consisted of saying, “I agree with Al Gore”?
I like Webb but I don’t agree with this assessment at all.
Clinton DID win in a landslide:
Clinton: 370
Bush: 168
Perot: 0
There is no such thing as a popular vote in our Presidential elections. You can’t win or lose that which does not exist.
