Is what Trump said true?

[left-of-center2012]

In news clips of his rally in West Virginia, Trump said in 2016 Democrats suffered the biggest defeat in American history.

Weren't there Presidential elections where the winner got every state but one?

1. Of course not. It was a huge lie, as always. NT

2. Of course it was a lie.

He'll say anything, anything at all if it makes him look good. In 1984 Reagan and Mondale ran, and Mondale only won his own home state of Minnesota--and some questioned even that state. Part of his problem was that he had a female running mate--first time ever.

3. (psst...if his lips are moving and sound emerges, it is all lies)....

4. This.

5. Not the biggest defeat, but certainly the nation's most tragic and devastating.

6. Here ya go...

Hoover, FDR, Ike, Reagan, Obama...

Lots of Presidents beat the dipshits popular and electoral numbers

Trump will never let the truth defeat the Power of Positive Bullshit.

8. He is a lair. But it was bitter if one looks only at races not involving a siting president or VP.

In the past 50 years, there have been three democratic losses in contests in which the Democratic candidate was neither the sitting president (as President Carter was in 1980) nor was up against a sitting Republican president (McGovern vs. Nixon in 1972 and Mondale vs. Reagan in 1984) nor up against a sitting Vice President (Dukakis vs, H. W. Bush in 1988). Such three losses were Humphrey vs. Nixon (1968), Gore vs. G. W. Bush (2000) and Hillary Clinton vs. Trump 2016. Of those three Democratic losses, Hillary's was the largest electoral vote defeat despite the fact that she (like Gore) won the popular vote.

Of course, narrowing the list of Democratic losses for the purpose of making the claim fit is absurd, just like Trump himself.

9. As the rest of the poster pointed out, he's wrong.

I took what he said as his win was the biggest upset victory. That's also incorrect as Truman vs Dewey is still the biggest upset in US history.

10. Why would you believe anything coming out of Trump's mouth?

Without verifying it yourself? He's a con artist

11. I'm going to stop you right there.

No.

12. Think of this song

13. NOTHING

He says or even thinks is true.
I wouldn't believe him if he said water was wet.
