    I’d like to point out that even Ronald Fucking Reagan didn’t win all 50 against Mondale. He lost Minnesota.

    “Reagan won a landslide re-election victory, carrying 525 electoral votes, 49 states, and 58.8 percent of the popular vote. Mondale won 13 electoral votes from the District of Columbia, which has always voted overwhelming for the Democratic candidate, and his home state of Minnesota by a 0.18% margin.”

          The last R to take a win there was Nixon. They’re the most reliably blue state in Presidential elections (but every four years Republicans think they’re going to take it. I mean eventually they’ll have to get it, but so far it hasn’t turned out in their favor.
