[Your comment was/is factually incorrect. Stop spewing Liberal talking points. More people voted against Clinton than for her.]

And even more people voted against Trump than against Hillary. Numbers are stubborn things. I don’t really care that Trump lost the popular vote. The important thing is that the Democratic candidate lost. But it was a fluke driven by Trump’s Hail Mary play in the Rust Belt states, combined with Hillary’s combo of overconfidence and stupidity. We came really close to a Supreme Court with a reliable liberal majority, and that was why many of the Never Trumpers tried to get a replacement for Trump after his nomination - they were convinced he would lose.

Many of the Never Trumpers came around after he won. And others have come around after he proved to be, for the most part, a doctrinal conservative, except for trade and security issues. The only Never Trumpers remaining are the sanctimonious prigs who thinks he makes them look bad.

I think Trump’s a breath of fresh air. There have been plenty of GOP standard bearers, Boy Scouts in their personal lives, who have spent their political careers stabbing GOP voters in the back once they got elected (e.g. Nixon, Bush I and Bush II). Whereas Trump is no Boy Scout in his personal life, but he’s backed GOP voters on a lot of the things they care about, like immigration and trade.
