This is for the portion Clinton and Trump supporters that seem to be confused because they are sharing memes, status updates or comments that include claims that anyone got half the nation’s support. No candidate got half the nation’s support or even half the eligible voter’s support so please just stop spreading ignorance. There is no mandate here for anyone other than a clear showing of disapproval or apathy from those with the ability to vote. Yes Trump won, but it doesn’t mean half or even most approve and the same would have been true of Clinton.
