Weeks before the election the entire submediaworld were claiming that Trump and his supporters not accepting the result would be a danger to democracyAs an observer , it didn ' t look like he expected to win . His doubts about the election results should they have gone against him would have been centered around minorities and immigrants and criminals . I think people expected HRC to win the popular vote and the electoral college pretty handily , and even then , people expected Trump to spew nonsense about vote rigging in the cities and x number of illegal immigrants voted , and you get the idea . I personally think it would be bad for the country at this point to take Trump out of the white house . Even if it was the correct decision based on the votes counted , there are just too many people that wouldn ' t be able to understand . That ' s why I think the electoral college is bullshit though . This is the exact situation if ever where it should be used , and I still think the answer is don ' t use it .
