text: I don't think any Democrat would've won in a landslide. It's unusual for the same party to stay in power after two terms. Even though Obama brought the country back from the precipice after the crash in 2008 it took a long time for the economy to recover, and voters were restless.
  
  Voters didn't just vote against Hillary, they voted FOR Trump. Many Americans are magical thinkers willing to tolerate, or even welcome, bigotry if some rich guy swaggers around, talks tough and promises the world. Pathetic.
  
  Of course Hillary is rich, too, but people held it against her. For Trump it was considered a virtue.
