I'm not sure who Clinton et al is. I certainly didn't want to see Trump as president and was shocked when he won. But I accepted his win as fair and square. Yeah, as 13 says, the electoral college thing sucks, but that is how we play the President game here. People always get upset when someone loses the popular vote and wins the electoral college, but I don't remember anyone not accepting his win as legitimate.
Even Hillary, with all her moaning and lame excuses afterward, never questioned the legitimacy of it. At least I don't remember that.
One of the big problems with the electoral college issue is that a lot of people don't really get that if the Presidential election was determined by popular vote, campaigning would be very different and who is to say who would win under those circumstances. Although apparently in the current demographic the GOP benefits from the electoral college thing. I read on 538 I think that the Dems have to win by at least 2% or 3% to outrun the electoral college. I don't remember the exact numbers but it was something like that.
Anyway I think they should get rid of the system, but it will never happen, because it means a Constitutional Amendment.
