306 to 233 is not "close"... Hillary would have had to win multiple additional states in order to win... so it's not like he just got lucky in Florida or something, he crushed her even in states where she had 5%+ lead in pre-election polls...
2000 elections were "close":
George W. Bush Republican Dick Cheney 271
Al Gore Democratic Joe Lieberman 266
as were 2004:
George W. Bush Republican Dick Cheney 286
John Kerry Democratic John Edwards 251
306 to 233 in 2016 was not...
