Five US presidents, including Nixon and Kennedy, won the presidency with a popular vote margin of victory less than 1.46%.

Gore lost to Bush in 2000 with a 54.2% voter turnout even though he won the popular vote by 0.51%.

Clinton loses to Trump with a 53.9% voter turnout even though she's currently winning the popular vote by 1.56%.

Unprecedented.

Dude, I went to bed late on 11/8 knowing he was going to win. That was over 2 weeks ago. I'm not happy with most of his cabinet picks so far, but in all honestly, barring a world war there's not much the guy can do that will affect me personally. If he kills Obamacare it'll mess up my son, Linda, and possibly me down the road, if he doesn't replace it with something better.

It's going to be very interesting to watch over the next couple of years to see how his approval ratings go as he actually starts making changes and possibly tripping over some scandals here and there.

The whole conflict of interest thing is already looming large and he's not even in office yet.
