“Donald Trump got almost 3 million fewer votes than Hillary Clinton! He happened to get more in some of the right places.

“The thing I'm most afraid of is what happens when these people who voted for Donald Trump realize he's not going to do anything for them and that he's not an antidote to what ails them. His whole movement runs on anger, and if it doesn't have anger, it doesn't go anywhere.”
