    True. The American people chose to elect a guy to sweep away democracy because they didn’t like the price of eggs.

      No it wasn’t

      I sure wish it wasn’t either, but it looks like its the reality. How are you defining it not being a sweep?

          I think you’re referring to “depth” where an election would be consider a “landslide”. The article is talking about “width”, as in most states (the Electoral College wasn’t even close with 72% going to Trump), GOP taking Executive, both houses of Legislative, and of course already has the Judicial in their control. That’s the “sweeping” part.
