You said she didn't have any redeeming qualities, and yet the majority of voters must have thought differently. I think what's happening here is simply that you don't like the woman (that's alright, it's not like I'm the biggest fan of her), and you rationalize this by arguing she had no redeeming qualities, when she wasn't worse in terms of policies or personality than her husband or the previous two POTUSes.
Hillary won the popular vote in 20 States. She lost the popular vote in 30 States. She could have gotten every single vote in the States she won and she would have lost the election.
When will people understand how the Presidential election system works in America?
I understand that to win the popular vote is not enough to win the presidential election in America. But the fact remains that the majority of Americans who voted did vote for her. And, democratically speaking, that does say something.
