I stand by the notion that Clinton was the worst Democrat and Trump was one of the worst Republicans to run as well, making 2016 the election where some shitty candidate had to win.

Clinton - huge amount of baggage, very energetic base against her, very low party support outside of the insiders, and extremely low interest candidate other than the fact that she's a woman. She won the popular vote, and yet the share of the Democratic vote decreased dramatically and she failed to utterly stick to any issue other than the fact that she wasn't Trump.

Trump - energized a segment of the GOP, but turned off a huge number of voters as well and created a gigantic proportion that was fully against him at every step. With the exception of the creep show that was Cruz, I honestly believe that essentially any other Republican would've done as well, if not better, than Trump overall. For all the talk of the huge amount of voters he brought in, his proportion of the popular vote was about similar to McCain and Romney accounting for the increase in the overall electorate size. Not really tangible evidence to show that he was hugely more popular than other GOPers would've been.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.
