This election was about change and the media never acknowledged that because Hillary would have changed 0.
This election was about "who would suck less?" period. Trump got less votes than any president going back to the 2000 election. He got less than Romney did in 2012. Less than McCain in 08. Not very much more than Kerry in 04. 08 was a change election where the president got 8 million more votes than anyone ever has in the history of the country.
Trump won, he gets to set the agenda and talk the talk, but this wasn't some huge ground swell of hope and change. Even here in louisiana there are some people that are so excited Trump was elected but even more that are sitting around going "well what was I supposed to do? Vote for Hillary? I didn't have a choice!"
