Reagan only got 51% of the vote in 1980, so I wouldn't consider that a landslide. In 1876 Samuel tilden got 51% of the vote and lost the election, which gives my side an argument.
POPULAR VOTE, yes, but that doesn't elect the President. He won by a Landslide in the Electoral College.
But a landlslide should have to do with how the people vote, not how the unpredictable electoral college folds out. In 1912 Woodrow Wilson won 42% of the vote and 82% of the electoral college.
Yeah, I agree. Talking about a landslide in the EC is a little pointless. If you win you win, but you don't show a lot by widening the margin in the EC, but by doing it in the popular vote.
