I can't completely suppress a begrudging respect for the man and how he defied the odds and made it into the White House. It was a quite a thing.
Or the fact that this election was this close. It wasn't a blowout like so many predicted, and the fact that it took until the weekend for anyone to call a winner, not to mention over 47% of the country voting for him is no small task.
When people say "You can achieve anything if you put your mind to it"... I guess he's proof?
But then again, IMO it's not only about the candidate, but the devotion to political ideals, and lots of people will vote for the party regardless of who is in charge.
