Let&#8217;s also note that more than 155 million ballots were cast. Now, when you say &#8220;millions of votes&#8221; separated them, my own perspective tells me it&#8217;s more than what Trump rolled up against the VP. Yes, he won more votes than any Republican presidential candidate in history, so I&#8217;ll give him that.<\/p>\n<p>But the landslide he said he scored does not exist.<\/p>\n<p>I just want to be clear on that point.<\/p>\n<p>I won&#8217;t go into the rest of the idiocy that flowed from this fellow&#8217;s mouth.
