HRC was the biggest non-incumbent front-runner for the White House in modern political history, but she lost the election because... you guessed it... from deplorables to the email server to just being pretty unlikable, she was the worst presidential candidate in modern political history. Following eight years of BO, the country could have easily continued on a similar path with HRC, but they chose a
TV actor instead -- in real life.
By no means is DJT perfect (a fact pretty much everyone can agree on), but as far as America is concerned (who knew that fact going in), the lesser of two evils was pretty clear in 2016. Proof is in the pudding.
And as for Trump stoking the division, well, I'd argue that's blinding yourself -- deliberately or otherwise -- to the unavoidable truth that it takes two to tango. Trump upset the hoity-toity political establishment and the left has never forgiven him for that, and never will. They have sowed the seeds of division and disunity for just as long, if not longer, than DJT. It's quite the routine of mental gymnastics to place that all at Trump's feet. Sorry not sorry.
