Theory as to why Drumpf thinks his EC margin is a "landslide".

[Ken Burch]

The only election results he knows of are those from 2000 or later.

Which would mean the only Republican EC victories before his that he knows of are 2000 and 2004.

By the metric of post-2000 GOP Electoral college margins, and that metric ONLY, his result is a "landslide".

1. much simpler -- it's a landslide because it happened to him.

it's a landslide moment in his personal life, therefore it's a landslide, period.

[rock]

10. Even simpler

He's demented.

[blogslut]

2. Because he is a self-aggrandizing liar

He has lied all his life. He lies. It doesn't matter why. He lies.

[LeftInTX]

3. He just plain old lies

He says his was the largest EC win since Reagan.

[leftstreet]

5. +1

He doesn't need a reason, or do any fact checking
No fears about getting caught or suffering consequences

He just lies

4. "Afghanistan-Banana stand"

That's how.

Kudos if you get the cultural reference.
Hint: Robert Redford.

I prefer Constantinople. (Think Woody Allen - same context.)

[Ken Burch]

6. Why did Constantinople get the works?

That's nobody's business but the Turks.

[longship]

8. Here:

First is from The Hot Rock starring Robert Redford. "Afghanistan banana stand"

The second is from The Curse of the Jade Scorpion, admittedly a more obscure film by Woody Allen. "Constantinople"

Both phrases that I cited were post hypnotic key words to trigger a trance in the receiver to do ones bidding.

9. I was basically just riffing there.

Thanks for the links, though.

17. old song, cover. but while we're on tmbg, he's an increasingly relevant original:

20. Brilliant.

n/t.

7. Same reason he thinks his tiny hands are huuuuge.

Same reason "John Barron' told the tabloids that Marla Maples was saying that sex with DJT was the best she ever had.

[salin]

16. b/c every thing he does is epic.

side note - I am always creeped out that he named his son Baron - it's as if he was trolling his son from birth.

[DefenseLawyer]

11. Nobody knew that math would be so complicated. n/t

[Bucky]

13. Better theory

It's the biggest anyone has ever seen ever. Really, it's HYUGE. Twice as big as anybody else's

[Ken Burch]

15. Or, as Shrek would say:

"Do you think he's compensating for something?"

[gratuitous]

19. Is that why he keeps saying he won 306 electoral votes instead of the actual 304?

I mean, President Trump wouldn't be the first man trying to convince everyone that 4 is actually 6, but for something that indisputable and easily checked, you'd think he'd try to get it right.

18. he's a narcissist and a pathological liar, that's all the theory you need.
