.....When more than three million American voters wanted someone else.
Yes, the system worked exactly like it was supposed to work. The United States is one political entity, but at the same time its a union of separate States. In the Constitution, the States relinquished some rights to the centralized govmt, but wisely kept some safety measures in place.
The election confirmed my faith in the Founding Fathers. Their vision served to disarm the collective efforts of the left and their mass media/entertainment propaganda.
I'm middle class and definitely did NOT vote for Trump. Millions of LOWER CLASS people voted for Trump. That's why he won. People who were uninformed and angry came out in droves to vote for their would be "savior."
Yes, HRC already reminded us of the "basket of deplorables", or "lower class" as you call them. I too am middle class, and I personally know at least a few of my peers that voted for Trump. Not that we were really excited to do so, but because Clinton was just so bad. If the dems could have nominated just about any other reasonably viable democrat, they could have walked away with this election without any difficulty whatsoever. However, due to WikiLeaks, I guess we do know why this happened....no one else was "allowed" to win.

I have a few relatives like this...lol. They make bad decisions, then when these decisions result in a bad result, they double down on the original decision which typically results in an even worse result than the original. You need to learn from your mistakes. I don't know how many people I've heard from that said Clinton's "basket of deplorables" statement turned them off of her completely.....and yet those opposed to Trump keep repeating it in one form or another. Learn people! Learn!
Like it or not, many of us middle class Trump voters didn't and don't like being called "deplorables", or "lower class" people as this poster said. We may disagree with you politically, but we can tie our shoes, we don't drool, we work full time and are paying our own way in life. Most of us weren't terribly excited about Trump, but if the dems cannot admit, even privately, that nominating HRC, was the worst possible selection they could have made this election season, I'm at a loss as to how else to explain why Trump won to them.
The dems should have won this election handily, and without breaking a sweat. They had to really look hard, while being blind to the pulse of the nation, to find someone who could lose to Trump. If you can't figure this out on your own, god help you.

Trump won the white college educated vote by 4%. So a lot of middle class people disagreed with you.
Did they literately cry and wail all over live TV and youtube when he won?........No.
Did they riot when Obama won?.......No.
Did they demand silly recounts? ...........No.
Did they Demand the electoral collage vote against him? .........No.
Did they send death threats to members of the electoral collage? .......... No.
Did they try to blame their loss on "election hacking" when no evidence of any hacking of the electoral process exists? ........No.
Did they boycott supporters of Obama? .......... No.
Did plan a massive hissy fit for his inauguration? ......... No.
But.....Yeah, I can see how they were just as bad
No comparison at all. Uh--a few little differences.
How could they demand recounts? Obama won the electoral college and the popular vote. Oh, and he received no help from a Russian dictator criminal and his posse of hackers or a fugitive criminal hiding out in a foreign embassy.
Expect Trump continue to be looked at as illegitimate.
The most unhinged of all has been Trump and everyone knows it no matter how much they try to pretend he is normal.
OMG--did you see that press conference? The guy is totally whacked. Sane mature people in a civil society simply do not act like that.
