Worst United States Presidential Elections
Donald Trump did not 'win fair and square'. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. Trump won the electoral vote. The electoral vote is an archaic compromise from the early days, when a faction felt that only Congress should vote for President. The Electoral College should have been abolished long ago. Only the popular vote truly reflects the will of the people.
Not because Donald Trump won, but because this is perhaps the most controversial election to date. So much political drama (and chaos) ensued throughout this election in a flurry of character attacks on both candidates and violent protests. Hopefully, the next election will be much more peaceful.
This election was bad mainly not because of Trump winning, but rather because both candidates were terrible, which was why the election was dominated by attacks on the candidates. Hopefully in 2020 the Democrats find a better candidate with much less baggage than Clinton who can beat Trump.
This is easily the worst one we had so far, both candidates suck equally the same big time and must blame society
Afghanistan was necessary. Iraq, questionable. But everyone seems to forget that ALL the intelligence from ALL the major powers AGREED Saddam had a chemical weapons stockpile. Probably did, and hid them in Syria where Assad's been using them on his own people. It's clear you're not a big fan of facts, yet they remain.
McCain should of won of instead.
Both candidates were terrible this election.
What do you know about the Reagan years? The economy thrived, the military was brought in line with existing threats, the Soviet Union was brought down, he won two landslide elections... If that's not "great, what is?
Yes the guy who started the Navy, one of our best forms of military as well as keeping the country togheter after the first time it had to deal with a switch in leader is bad...
Indeed. Carter was and is not just an incompetent, but a vocal anti-Semite, and a gutless wonder who let Iran walk all over the U.S.. And, he's never met a foreign dictator he didn't love.
The Civil War started because the southern states hated Lincoln. Lincoln was the greatest president in my eyes and thankfully the north won the civil war. Good riddance to Dixie.
As well as a myriad of other flaws, he's a poor loser.
Because Trump won't concede defeat.
