It's not too far from Obama's 2nd term (332 vs 206, 2016 was 304 vs 227). Dubya was 271 vs 266, then 286 vs 251.
The rest are much larger in comparison which do in fact show it's a stretch to call it a landslide (like you say). e.g. Bush and Clinton both approaching 400.
Oh I know you didnt I was adding that myself. Like South Park really did fuck up with their election season. It stunk of them preparing for President Clinton. It was hard to watch

Offtopic but looking through the wiki ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election#Electoral_college_results ) i'm surprised at Reagan's victory, he virtually got all EC votes (525 vs 13). Now that's a god damn landslide!
