That isn't true.

Yes it is true because we are only talking about this century.

Ronald Reagan ranked both 3rd and 7th in this Century. Trump is not a phenomenon at 44th. Please.

Technically, he was last century.

Hahahahahaha! True. However, Trump would still have to best Reagan and others on the total Electoral chart regardless of whether it is 21st century or not.

Trump is way below average for a winner's total:

1984—525
1980—489
1988—426
1996—379
1992—370
2008—365
2012—332
2016—306
2004—286
2000—271

1 1820 James Monroe - 231
2 1936 Franklin D. Roosevelt - 523
3 1984 Ronald Reagan - 532
4 1972 Richard Nixon - 520
5 1804 Thomas Jefferson - 162
6 1864 Abraham Lincoln - 212
7 1980 Ronald Reagan- 489
8 1964 Lyndon B. Johnson - 486
9 1932 Franklin D. Roosevelt - 472
10 1956 Dwight D. Eisenhower - 457

44 - Donald Trump - 306

Ronald Reagan was a phenomenon. Aren't we tired of the fake news and lying this campaign season? I, for one, am tired of it.

KellyAnne knows that if you say something loud enough and long enough, everyone will believe it.

It does not matter. The fact that he overcame the crooked media, the Clinton machine, and millions of illegal votes to win at all, much less in three rust belt States, makes him an incredible phenomenon. Cruz would have lost, hands down.

The Establishment and Fox News teamed up against Cruz at the outset. He was the one person they knew they couldn't manipulate.

Now, let's move on and praise Trump when he is right and criticize him when he is wrong. Mulvaney looks like a good pick for Budget Director. Let's see how he handles Trump's infrastructure plans.

The thing is, we don't know that, and neither do you. Shrillary was the absolute worst candidate that the Dems could have ever put forward. I think almost anyone would have trounced her soundly (except maybe Carson, people would have had too much trouble even hearing him).

Yes, all of these good picks sure are strange for someone you, NDavid and others have called a Democrat and compared to Sanders. If he was the liberal yall say he is, the Dems would be praising him.

Look, the man acted like a compete offensive, lying jackass during the primaries. He wasn't and isn't a consistent person nor a candidate. He's been married 3x, so he can't even keep that commitment.

So, please stop acting as though we need to lay everything aside and trust him now. Good grief.

You're even upset when we agree and compliment a cabinet pick.

I am still amazed at the double standard you have. You are living in a fantasy if you think the average GOP politician is any more moral than Trump.
