Ronald Reagan in 1984 won every state except Minnesota and I believe 57 percent of the vote. Nixon in 1972 won almost every state and I think over 60 percent. And yet if such a result was obtained today, you'd have people saying "but you need 70 percent for a mandate......"
More people voted against him then for him. Not saying he didn't win, just not the popular vote.

Fact check, yes Trump won the popular vote

In order to win the popular vote, a candidate must only receive more votes than any other single candidate — that is, a plurality of votes. They need not win the majority of all votes cast.


Bigly won the popular vote G1, suck it up buttercup
