| The first President to get a majority vote in 16 years… Something Clinton never did. |
www.google.com is your friend. Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas... |
Are you sure about these numbers? I found: 1996: Clinton: 47,401,898 Dole: 39,198,482 Perot: 8,085,373 1992: Clinton:44,909,326 Bush:39,103,882 Perot:19,741,657 Are these not popular vote wins? |
thats quite a misleading statement since he got a higher vote total than either of the other candidates. He won the popular and the electoral votes in both of his elections. Those 2 elections were the only ones in living memory with a viable 3rd party candidate. Perot got 18.9% in 92 and 8.4% in 96. Clinton beat Bush and Gore by a large margin of the popular vote each time. Neither election was as close as this one has been. lies, damn lies, and statistics |
Its not technically a lie since Clinton got 43% in 92 and 49.2% in 96. So he didn't get a majority of all the votes. Its a very misleading statement :P |
A popular vote win is not necessarily a majority. Clinton NEVER got 50% of the vote and therefore NEVER won a majority. He only ever won a plurality. |
Nothing misleading at all but a simple undeniable FACT. Get a dictionary. |
majority=50% |
did your butt buddy clinton EVER get above 50% of the popular vote? didn't think so. now go back to your room. |
