What was the biggest landslide of the 20th Century

[nolesfan2011]

LBJ, simply because Goldwater and the GOP really didn't think that had anything close to a chance of winning the 64 election, and even a lot of Republicans voted for him even though he had done a lot of very progressive things before the election, and was an ardent progressive, at least on domestic issues. Goldwater just wanted the nomination to remake the party, but he never expected to win.

The only real base of Goldwater support was civil rights backlash in the south and he barely won his home state, otherwise it was just really hardcore Republicans and new conservative ideologues but nobody else, and the general public regarded Goldwater as "crazy".

Compared to other elections, Mondale and McGovern at least had chances but Reagan and Nixon just ran tons better campaigns (and McGovern came off as too much of a liberal softie in the era of hippies vs. lunchpail people). Nobody thought Walter Mondale was "crazy" at least.

Furthermore in terms of the political action scale, Nixon wasn't exactly a really hardcore conservative and Reagan, though he is a GOP hero, wasn't the most radically conservative President possible. (comapared to LBJ being on the most progressive presidents ever).

1920 was just a backlash against Wilson and WW1 and stuff (policy) and 1936 was just showing support for FDR "uniting America" and making it looked like he cared about all Americans during the depression (which was blamed on the GOP and was still going on) again a policy election.
