Well then even the 84 election didn’t have that large a vote discrepancy. Reagan won by about 17 million votes but he did win all but one state.That kind of landslide isn’t really possible anymore with how entrenched people are in their views and how the other side is so demonized. In this day and age getting 10 million more votes is pretty enormous.
Feel like population maybe wasn't as large and has increased since then?

I don't understand. Our media throws a fit over trump having extra ice cream you think they'd have been cool with what Nixon did?
Sure the liberal media would have but the mainstream media has a credibility problem with large swaths of the public, plus the conservative media would have excused him and called it all fake news or deflected to something about a democrat.
Partisan news has made it so it’s nearly impossible for a politician’s base to abandon him.

I disagree with you. I don't think the left leaning media would have seen Reagan as having no chance the way they did Trump. The very reason they gave Trump so much attention is cuz they thought he was a joke.
So I just do not think they'd behave the same.

Well we were talking about Nixon with the media. Not Reagan. They definitely would have taken Reagan more seriously since he had a lot of experience in government by the time he ran for president. He had been governor of California by that point.
If you voted for Joe Biden from Mexico, **** you bro and **** Robtard!

If the polls are correct it will be a Biden landslide and barring any shenanigans we'll know pretty quickly, within a day or two, or maybe even on election night if you know what to look for, regardless of whether networks want to be cautious and avoid calling it too early.A Trump landslide will also be obvious pretty quickly.
Any other scenario it will probably take several days/weeks/months.
Polls aren't correct though, just as they weren't correct in 2016.

When is the last time we even saw a landslide in a presidential election? I just don't see it.
Well, Trump got like 70-80 more electoral votes than Hillary in 2016.
That wasn't exactly a close election lol.
