A Landslide? Really?

Donald Trump has said that he would have won the popular vote by a landslide if the millions of people who voted illegally had not voted.

Let's be clear.  Mr. Trump won the election of the president of the United States of America fair and square.

That said, it is also true that some two and a half million more Americans voted for his major opponent than voted for him.  That is hardly a landslide.  It certainly is not a mandate.

It is, in fact, something that should give Mr. Trump and his fellow travelers some pause.  At least two and half million more Americans preferred Mr. Trump's opponent than preferred Mr. Trump.

As far as the claim that Mr. Trump would have won by a landslide if only those who voted illegally had not voted, that claim is just bogus.

First of all, there is no - zero, nada, zip - evidence to support the claim that any substantial number of people voted illegally.  Mr. Trump and his "transition" team have been asked for any evidence to support the claim and they have not produced any.  None.  The claim is just bogus.

Second, for it to have been true, it must be true that over two and a half million votes were cast illegally - a claim for which there is no evidence - and then those over two and a half million votes had to all be cast for Mr. Trump's opponent - something which no one, including Mr. Trump, could possibly know.

The claim that Mr. Trump makes that he would have won the popular vote by a landslide if the millions of illegal votes had not been cast is ... just bogus.  One more thing about which we can be certain Mr. Trump is lying.

America, you have been conned.
