Donald Trump lost the popular vote. Thus, "the public" chose HRC. Donald Trump won the election. Whether "the public" will support the privatizing of social security, the "free for all-ing" of healthcare, and other GOP mindsets for "making America great again" remains to be seen. However, TRT, it is disingenuous to portray this past election as some sort of public revolt in the direction of right wing principles. Both parties these days oversell individual elections, then get reminded in two years of their oversell.

This Presidential elections of this land according to the Constitution, are governed by the electoral college and have been since the days of Jefferson himself. There are any number of ways liberals such as yourself may choose to try and mitigate Mr Trump's valid and sweeping mandate. Take California for example, (by far the most populous for Latinos and certainly a Democrat treasure trove of illegal voters to be sure), in which the vote disparity between Trump and Hillary as of a few days ago was just over 3.23 million in favor of Clinton. But if you look at the nationwide vote total, Clinton's margin shrinks a full million to 2.23 million. Which means Trump won the popular vote by one million in the other 49 states, and that total certainly includes the remaining 17 states Clinton won BTW.

The disparity on which libs hung their hats, and should be hanging their heads FWIW, for even suggesting that the Constitution should be assaulted yet again by the liberal's meat tenderizer, involves only one state. You don't like to mention the rest of it, including the fact that Trump won at least 7 'unwinnable' swing-states, 3 of which were part of Hillary's vaunted 6 state firewall as was confidently outlined as recently November 4th.

Nonetheless, I do not buy your effort to mitigate the scope of the people's mandate this time around. It was only 2012 when we saw leaders of the DNC signing the GOP's death certificate. Talk about your oversell, Dems did it so well Paul Ryan is still trying to champion leftist identity politics. In fact, I would not be surprised to see him switch parties if he can't have his way with Trump. I've called out the obvious on here a number of times, the GOP swept the House in 2010, the Senate in 2014, held serve in 2016 and won the White House. The only way Trump will not be reelected is if he falls on his face and that is extremely unlikely.

Not that you'll hear a lot of discussion about it, but despite an all-out nationwide effort by the Dems to secure another King's ransom to fund the Louisiana Senatorial Candidate the Republican Kennedy won handily, the Republicans retaining a comfortable 52-48 majority. The mood has changed Sombrero. I am delighted to inform you that liberalism will be on the wane for the next 8 years and the national reprieve for which I had prayed is assured. Now don't misunderstand, I don't see long term deliverance here, just a reprieve. During that time I expect the left to wax very nearly savage. Revival is our best hope and even then God's timetable will reign.

Not that the day has come, but in the day the people of this land allow a free and fair election to be washed away simply because the losing side is unwilling to accept it, will be our undoing.
