when is the last time a candidate won an election by 70%? What makes you think such a high number is more realistic than a tight race between two candidates that no one seems all that happy with?

And you believe a candidate could win 70 percent of the vote? reality says otherwise I think you just proved online polls anr inaccurate on predicting voter turn out.

I just looked it up, the largest landslide in American history was 26% when Harding beat Cox in 1920.
As much as you hate Clinton and want to believe 70% sounds about right, there are an equal amount of people who hate Trump. The idea that it should really be 70% sounds like a need for confirmation bias. Hillary will get more than 30% of the vote from party loyalists alone. Don't underestimate the power of blind tribalism.

This reminds me of 2012 and the Ron Paul craze. He pulled HUGE crowds, he dominated every online poll, his supporters were everywhere, ATS was going crazy, predicting landslide vicotries for him. We all know what happened. Online hype doesn't mean a damn thing.
