Superbowl 59

 Will likely always be just a unforgettable footnote.

Terrible game, from 2 boring teams.

Awful waste of time of a Halftime show.

Let's get something straight...

 Dumpy did NOT win in a Landslide or even DECISIVELY.

He won by a small MARGINAL amount.

So from a NUMBERS standpoint, he only got 2.84 million more votes which is just under 1.5%. And among the SWING STATES which in truth did and does decide the election based on Electoral College concerns, he only received just under 2.4% more votes.

1.5% 

and

2.4% in the most important races.

Electoral College

Trump 312 57.99%

Harris 226 42.00%

86 more EC votes which is 15.99%. Yeah that is closer to "Decisive" however, if you look at the margins in the Swing States, some of those were pretty close, so much so, to call those "decisive" does not fly for me and many others (also someday we may find out Trump and Musk manipulated the results).

If Harris were to have won (or even a recount was done) on those closest 4 Swing States, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, which were all between .086%-2.19% difference, she gets 60 more EC votes to 286 and wins.

I mean it's semantics, "Decisive" vs "Marginal" but if  this win is considered "Decisive" than BIDEN's was a LANDSLIDE. Or better, Obama in both 2008 and 2012 were massive Landslides. But while those were, especially the 2 Obama wins were definitely DECISIVE without a doubt wins, this Trump win, was a lot closer than those. 

I mean taking just the Popular vote, Biden beat Trump by more than Trump beat Harris then. So, the Biden win was more DECISIVE and clear-cut.

The fact those Swing States were basically pick-ems and Dumpy won all 7 will likely always question how free and fair this election was.

Now we just need him to get removed and deal with Vance until January 2029.
