Her policies were certainly a blend of the previous 3 presidents. I don't think 'more of the same' served her well. And her personality? You are speaking the crazy. Bill/W/Obama all were charming as hell. They still are. Bill seems to have done some raping, but he's so charming, people still like him. W broke the country, but people still find him endearing.
She was a robot status quo.
The US isn't a two party system, at least not officially. There were other candidates, and they also got votes. We didn't vote for Clinton or Trump. Clinton still won our state handily.

When will people understand how the Presidential election system works in America?
I think he does understand how the election system works, he's just pointing out her overall popularity. Comparing popular vote between the states is pointless, because states differ in population. The fact remains that the majority of the entire country wanted her as President.
