Hillary Clinton did win the popular vote. So her entrenched constituency came through for her. Her problem was that she didn't make any converts. Apparently, the "undecided" voters ended up going for Donald Trump because they were fed up with the Black lives matter movement, with the LGBT community, with Plannned Parenthood, with Mexican Immigrants, with the Muslim presence, with Native American protests, with the assumption that celebrities would influence how they voted, and last but no least, with the idea of Hillary Clinton perpetuating the liberal agenda that Barak Obama represented. Opposing all of this is what they truly believed would make America great again. This country has referred to itself as the Land of Opportunity, and in this election millions of its citizens took this opportunity to register their intolerance of others or, as Martin Luther King phrased it, "a dislike for the unlike". So Trump's election is a victory for the "great white hope". Others can only hope that he will develop the integrity to make his presidency one that is inclusive, rather than exclusive. The future of the United States depends on this. IMO
