Brief thoughts:
Democrats let this happen. Hillary should've never been the nominee and she and her campaign were way too overconfident and smug toward the opposing side. Calling the opposition's voters deplorable is the sort of thing that creates a silent majority and lets this happen.
And as I've said many times in this thread: Basing this campaign on Trump being worse cost them the election. When you're an undecided/uninformed voter are you going to vote for the candidate with an enthusiastic base and a (albeit hollow) set of plans or the candidate with a half enthused base with no especially clear message beyond "the other guy is worse"? I still maintain that Hillary is a far superior candidate to Donald, but I am more angry at Hillary, her campaign, and the DNC for letting this happen. This should've been a cakewalk.
