    There was 2.1% difference in popular vote, so still close to 50% of voters who supported him, that’s demoralizing and depressing.

      Well, only about two thirds of registered voters turn out. That statistic, minus everyone who couldn’t vote (those under 18, people not registered, resident aliens who haven’t gotten their citizenship yet, the massive number of our citizens who are incarcerated along with all the convicted felons who finished serving their time, etc) and it’s like only 23% of the country wanted him as president… same coin different side only slightly more than 23% wanted someone else.
