      I think you’re referring to “depth” where an election would be consider a “landslide”. The article is talking about “width”, as in most states (the Electoral College wasn’t even close with 72% going to Trump), GOP taking Executive, both houses of Legislative, and of course already has the Judicial in their control. That’s the “sweeping” part.
