A couple of numbers
By Flavius on Wed, 11/09/2016 - 6:02pm |As of 5pm 11/09
Popular votes
Trump 59,588,437
Hillary 59,794,373
Her lead 205,936
Still counting but there aren't enough uncounted votes for him to catch her
Electoral College
Trump 279 (takes 270 to win)
Hillary 228
State of Michigan
Trump 2,279,210
Hillary 2,267,373
His Michigan lead 11,837
And OBTW
Jill Stein 68 686
End of facts.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But, What if ?
Jill hadn't run. And her voters split like this
Trump 10,000
Hillary 25,000
Didn't vote 33,686
Total 68,686
Then the Michigan numbers would have been
Trump 2,289,000
Hillary 2,292,000
And the electoral college score would be
Trump 263 ( takes 270 to win)
Hillary 240
And we'd still be counting.
Makes you think.
Or If Jill had just not run Hillary would be discussing her
supreme court nominations today
Updated to correct Michigan's electoral college quota.It's 16.

More numbers: GOP upped to 2/3 of governorships, 2/3 of legislatures, to go with majority in Senate, House, Presidency and a new empty Supreme Court seat to fill.
(for those still in denial, in a nation 2/3 conservative, do you really think a *more* liberal candidate would have done better?)
Trump spent $280 million to Hillary's $690 million - all that free publicity served him well.
(again, would a non-billionaire candidate eschewing money in politics have done better, seeing as a complaint from the primaries was the media wouldn't pay him enough attention?)

Looks like a mandate.
