All I can say is, for some reason, Trumps fans don't seem to turn on him. It's one of the most illogical fanbases I've ever personally seen for a president and it scares me. Here's to hoping we get a Dem in office in 2020.
Trump didn't get elected, he got anointed.
Sure, if you want to argue semantics. Hillary did win the popular vote; technically America did choose Hillary Clinton, who would not have the beacon of light some say she would've been, but she would've been a better choice than Trump, by far.

How so? How were they right and wrong at the same time?
Hillary won the popular vote but lost the election. Most of the polls were national polls.
Okay? What's your point? I can remember the one news anchor arguing with Cohen and she said, "All of the polls say no one is voting for Trump," to which Cohen replied, "Polls? What polls? Which ones?" to which she retorts, "All of them."
Clearly, that was completely wrong. Now you can maybe argue that it was her reporting on the information was wrong, I'm not sure. Honestly, I don't really care what the polls say. I want Trump out of office as much as any other democrat. However, past experience tells me that nothing turns Trump's loyal sheep fans against him. So excuse me for being skeptical, but I'll buy it when Trump is kicked the fuck out of the White House.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
