I'll always reject this thought process and any threads of logic that's amongst the lines of 'Well Hillary wasn't much better than Trump!'

She's a politician, one with actual experience on the global stage and one that knows how to play the game rather than floundering in a spiral of childlike anger like Trump. Electing Trump was like being on a plane and saying 'You know what? We don't need that qualified pilot to fly this plane, put this toddler in the pilot's seat instead!'

Trump would have probably won against most candidates, he had outside help and his victory was assured by the ignorance of the voting public. Even someone like Bernie Sanders would have struggled to win because hate and intolerence has more sway with people than love and acceptance and that's why Trump won.
