However you want to define presidential, I'm petty sure it excludes Trump. But that's what people wanted. He sold himself as the outside candidate. The drain the swamp anti establishment choice. I think he didn't have much power to really shake things up, but not for lack of trying.
- jtdev 7y agoPeople didn’t want Clinton, that’s clear.
- krapp 7y agoI mean, literally more people wanted Clinton than wanted Trump, per capita. Not that it actually mattered, given the way the US electoral process works, but the premise that Clinton was overwhelmingly unpopular is an exaggeration. She just wasn't popular enough in the right states. It's true that a lot of Democrats wanted Bernie Sanders, but I suspect more of them flipped to Hillary Clinton than to Donald Trump.

- ceejayoz 7y ago2,868,686 more people wanted Clinton over Trump. If "people didn't want Clinton", they wanted Trump even less.
