46% of Americans didn't vote in the last election, having correctly assessed their choice of evils was not less enough to bother. The choice the Demonrats gave them was of another corrupt warmonger. Trump got three million + LESS votes than Madam Evil, nonetheless, or ~27% of the popular vote. He only "won" because of our archaic and corrupt electoral college system. 
The Dems had their chance to eliminate it, but chose not to. Same with W's election -- over 40% of Americans didn't vote. We need to put "None of the Above" on all ballots, and if that choice wins, we get a do-over, with new candidates. If we keep doing that eventually the powers-that-be will have to give us worthy choices instead of "You will be beaten with a truncheon or a shot-filled hose. You must choose one." 
That's what we call "democracy." Usually the best choice we get is "arsenic or ipecac." 46% of Americans decided they wouldn't swallow either.
The GOP voted for Ryan & McConnell, not the general electorate.
