I just don't consider a margin of victory of two states won by around 55K votes in an election where 136 million votes were cast to be a landslide. He barely won.
I can not respect your view because it is double standard.
If bigger electoral vote margin - you ignore separate states even if all of them are barely won.
If smaller electoral vote margin - you take into consideration separate states that were barely won.

It is one or another. Either just pure electoral numbers or both. Not one in one case, another in another.
