It was who he won that mattered. Democrats are using 1.5% to justify a "we didn't do that badly" attitude and yes, they did do badly. Trump won demographics he had no reasonable right to win and He took all of the swing States. He won the popular vote that no Republican has been able to do since 2004.His Electoral College win was resounding. That and the Republicans winning the House and Senate. The Democrats really really need to rethink things.
