In the context of the number of all voters, it's not as big of a number as it seems. And also, in the context of possible Electoral votes, 303 is not typically considered a landslide if we want to look at it historically.
Of course, we can simply adjust what we think a landslide is, but it doesn't really make sense as a term if there isn't at least some defining criteria.
