    It wasn’t a landslide, but we can’t minimize the fact that it was a real setback.

    Uh, what? That was the worst possible outcome of all the outcomes…I don’t know what other word than “Landslide” is appropriate there.

    We should all be happy to see tens of millions of workers sharing in the gains of faster productivity growth.

    Yes yes…enjoy not being paid overtime, praying your next customer tips you, and instant bankruptcy if you get sick at work. Oh…and don’t worry about retiring, you can’t afford it.

      America doesn’t really have landslides.

      It was a ratio of 68 to 73, with low voter turnout. 100% not a landslide. Anything less than a ratio of…I don’t know, 50 to 70? doesn’t really deserve the term. And that’s generous.
