Word to the wise, less people voted for Trump than they did for Mitt Romney in 2012 (although they are still counting), and Romney lost. Next time, put someone up who could be voted for, not just point to someone to vote against.

Just for the sake of completeness: And less people voted for Clinton than they did for Mitt Romney in 2012.

Right, 6 million less people voted this year.

If Trump won, he won in the margins and due to lack of enthusiasm on Clinton's side. That is my entire point.
