that the Clintons, as buy one get one free, were elected twice with the most popular votes, something only Obama and the Clintons have done in the past 30 years. Both Bushes, Dole, Gore, Kerry, McCain, or Romney have not gotten the highest number of votes twice (Bush I, Bush II, and Gore did once tho), whether an absolute majority (>50%) or relative majority aka plurality (higher than anyone else but <50%).

The Clintons are a Democratic electoral juggernaut and we must always honour and vaunt them; and never take for granted what states are blue today but were consistently in the 24 years before the Clintons won 1992. I've listed those states before, and you can find them on electoral maps easily available.
