which landslide was the most impressive?
>FDR - largest margin of electoral vote
>LBJ - largest popular vote percentage
>Nixon - largest area covered
>Reagan - largest amount of electoral vote
Hard to say, Anon.
I'd go with FDR. Johnson was facing down Goldwater, a man before his time (for good or ill). Mondale smashed himself. Nixon is second best.

Honestly none of these are impressive, established popular candidates running against literal who's or people who were extremely unpopular (Barry Goldwater) and winning decisively isn't hard. I would say winning a close race or coming back after being written off takes a lot more effort. That said the LBJ's victory really hurt the GOP so I'm going to go with that one.
How would Trumps rate here?

306 T, 232 C isn't a landslide.
It's impressive given the whole "outsider candidate beating the candidate who embodies the establishment" thing but it's certainly not a landslide.

Why was Goldwater before his time?

Also, forgot to say, all aspects combined it seems Nixon was the biggest landslide.

Goldwater was a free-trade supporting neolib in a New Deal coalition world. If he was born twenty years later he would have swept 1980.
