12. He wasn't democratically elected because of what James Comey did to hand him the election.

Seriously, all this talk about the popular vote just changes the subject from James Comey's actions.

The media acts like it was one of many factors, but the evidence tells a different story. Comey dominated that race from start to finish, from placing a presidential candidate under public FBI investigation, to the July press conference, to the last minute reopening of the case.

Without the fake email scandal Hillary would have destroyed Trump.
