All along it was the Golden Girls election to lose and Trumps to win.

He ran an excellent campaign despite the cringe worthy tweet times.
Trump beat out 16 qualified candidates because he struck a nerve with the core of America and he appealed to their senses.
What did Hillary appeal to? I saw her message as a simple same ol same ol while America suffers and she gets richer.

She Lost, Trump Won and America gets to live at least another 4 years.

That is our system...that is not to say I am happy about it.

I do think the popular vote should be the way.

Well if that was the constitutional law, he would have campaigned for and won that instead.

You have to hand it to crooked hillary, she really pulled something off by snatching defeat from the hands of victory.
She was the most sure thing winner ever to come along. On top of that, she spend several times more money on campaigning, had the crooked press in her pocket, and cheated in every way possible, and still got her monstrous azz handed to her...
America truly was the real victor, the Clinton crime family is finished.
hillary lost, America won..!

Obama's Legacy was written in sand. I'll bet Bin Laden will surface once he's left office.

"The final nail in the coffin" would have been the election of the morally, mentally and physically incompetent Hillary Clinton and her and her cronies desire to take away everything we are as a people and a country - nationalism has been saved now, thank God! Truly, thank God!

That you say this makes me think that you didn't really understand what the election was about. It wasn't about single personal issues, social issues, etc., it was about saving our country.

Trump vs. Hillary Is Nationalism vs. Globalism, 2016 | The National Interest

I don't know if they still teach economics and American government in high school, but we all need to start promoting that be done. It will make it much easier for the younger people to understand "politics" and make it easier for them to choose candidates based on the big picture versus the current "me" agenda.

There is simply NOTHING legitimate about Trump's so called presidency... he has nothing and I mean nothing in his life worthy of being a President. It's really a sad day in america when the world is turned upside down because of Trump!!
there is a liberal sucker born every minute, and this post proves it. go back a read the constitution, and remember how we choose presidents(hint it has nothing to do with the national popular vote), and note how many countries elections WE influenced, and recognize that EVERY country tries to influence every other countries elections.

once you do these things, you will be on your way to true adulthood.

Have you read the Constitution to refresh your memory on how to propose an Amendment to it (you did learn that in your Junior High Civics class, didn't you)? In case you didn't learn it, or can't remember, it is in Article V of the Constitution
Have you written to your Congress critters asking them to propose an Amendment to the Constitution that will eliminate Article II, Section 1 and the Twelfth Amendment (remember, you must convince three fourths of the State Legislatures to ratify it)?
Have you started a petition drive to your State Legislature to call for a Convention to amend the Constitution to provide for the election of the President and Vice President by popular vote only (remember, you have to get 2/3 of the states to agree)?
If you have done nothing, you obviously aren't really all that interested in changing anything.
