How exactly is popular being defined here? Officially, being popular just means well liked by a sizable amount of people. Certainly, Donald Trump has that. As does Hillary. Both are "popular." Many are quick to point out that Hillary won the popular vote, implying she's liked by more people than Donald Trump is. And that's a solid maybe. Undeniably, she won the popular vote. That doesn't mean she's more liked universally. Only 55% of eligible voters voted. Who knows what the other 45% thought or those who don't fall within the term "eligible voter."

Many people find both repugnant. And neither candidate broke 50% of the votes cast.

What's the matter? Afraid to see America become great again?
Making America great again is a slogan where white men will be in charge again and minorities including women are left out because they are inferior. No thanks. We have advanced way to much and going back is not an option. And it won't happen anyway because if he does try and do this there will be another civil war. This country is more divided then ever thanks to Trump.

Oh some truly beautiful data would be if it were broken down by college degree, major, grade completed, and current occupation.

I bet some of the polling companies have this sort of data.

Can you please elaborate on the claims you just made.

1.White men will be in charge again and minorities including women are left out because they are inferior.
Why do you feel inferior. That sounds like a personal problem.

2. We have advanced way to much and going back is not an option.And it won't happen anyway because if he does try and do this there will be another civil war.

Where are you going back to? I don't understand. What is it that he is trying to do that have you so frightened? Are you an illigal immigrant? Explain yourself.

3.This country is more divided then ever thanks to Trump

It was divided long long before Mr Trump. How old are you?

If you take out all the illegal and fraudulent votes then Trump won the popular vote too.

Hardly. Making America great again means putting the interests of ALL Americans 1st. This is our country, and we have utilized the means granted to us to determine our own fate as a nation. We will not bow to central planning, corporations that don't have our best interests in mind, countries that don't like us, etc.

Well, let's see. The KKK and white supremacists are just thrilled that Trump won. Why do you think that is. Richard Spencer said hail Trump with the Nazi salute and his followers he was speaking to did the same.
I am not an illegal immigrant and pissed you would even ask that. If you don't understand any of this then maybe you should educate yourself.
