How close was the 1960 presidential election?
The difference between Kennedy's and Nixon's total national popular votes in 1960 was 0.16% of all votes cast. Disregarding whether or not it was the winner who received more votes, there was only one election since 1824 (as far back as popular vote data are available) that was closer: Garfield vs. Hancock in 1880 (0.10%).In the 1960 election, Vice President Nixon carried three more states than Senator Kennedy. There was only one other election in which one of the losers carried more states than the winner: 1976, when President Ford carried three more states than Governor Carter.However, what counts in the end is the electoral vote count (as long as someone gets an absolute majority). When comparing the difference between the electoral vote counts of the top two finishers to the total number of votes, ten elections were closer:(Jefferson & Burr in 1800) (0.00%)Hayes vs. Tilden in 1876 (0.27%)Bush vs. Gore in 2000 (0.93%)Adams vs. Jefferson in 1796 (2.16%)Wilson vs. Hughes in 1916 (4.33%)Adams vs. Jackson in 1824 (5.75%) *Bush vs. Kerry in 2004 (6.32%)Cleveland vs. Blaine in 1884 (9.23%)Carter vs. Ford in 1976 (10.59%)Taylor vs. Cass in 1848 (12.41%)Kennedy vs. Nixon in 1960 (15.64%)* The electoral vote count was not the deciding factor in the 1824 election since nobody received an absolute majority of the electoral votes.P.S. for the curious: Here are the top ten closest popular votes:Garfield over Hancock in 1880 (0.10%)Kennedy over Nixon in 1960 (0.16%)Gore over Bush in 2000 (0.52%) **Cleveland over Blaine in 1884 (0.57%)Nixon over Humphrey in 1968 (0.70%)Cleveland over Harrison in 1888 (0.83%) **Polk over Clay in 1844 (1.46%)Carter over Ford in 1976 (2.06%)Bush over Kerry in 2004 (2.46%)Tilden over Hayes in 1876 (3.00%) **** In 1876, 1888 and 2000, the candidate with the most electoral votes was not the candidate with the most popular votes.It's interesting to note that the data show that Grover Cleveland is the only person beside Franklin Roosevelt to have won the popular vote in (at least) three consecutive U.S. Presidential elections, and Samuel Tilden is the only person to have lost a U.S. Presidential election with more than 50% of the popular vote.

Can Trump win by a landslide and still lose the election due to electoral?
I don't know about getting a "landslide" popular vote and losing in the Electoral College, but candidates have won the popular vote then lost the electoral college. In 2000, George W Bush had 540,000 fewer votes than Al Gore, but won the Electoral College majority. When a candidate wins the popular vote of a state, all the electoral votes of that state go to that candidate. The more populous states have more electoral votes, but the count is not dependent upon the number of voters who show up at the polls. So the number of actual voters per Electoral College delegate can vary considerably depending upon the voter turnout of each state. To try to illustrate this, California could have only 3 voters show up with 2 voting for Hillary. All 55 Electoral College votes would go to Hillary. Texas (38), Arizona (11) and Idaho (4) could also each have 3 voters (2 Trump vs 1 Hillary) with a total of 6 going to Trump and 3 to Hillary. Between the 4 states, the popular vote would be 7 for Trump and 5 for Hillary, but the electoral vote be 55 for Hillary and vs 53 for Trump.
What is the birtherism that was coming up in the Clinton vs Trump debate?
Birtherism is part of the debate on whether or not President Obama was born a citizen of the U.S. It is one of the things that started the political career of Donald Trump. It was said that Obama was born in Kenya since his father was from there. (A person who is not a citizen of the U.S. can not be President.). Obama's mother is from Hawaii and Obama had to show his 'long-form' birth certificate to prove that he was born in Hawaii. Trump has said that he believes that Obama is U.S. born, now but that Clinton began the Birtherism movement but she didn't.
