It reflects how unpopular both were, which also explains why the polls were so wrong. This whole thing could have easily gone the other way and this is why many are pointing a finger at the Russians. The finger if it should be pointed at anyone is the MSM. They gave Donald all the help and free Press he could ever want and he loved using them as a punching bag the whole way there. Now they'll treat him like a King or else.

Miserable election, just a miserable mess - I hope Trump spends every moment making himself richer and leaving the rest of us alone.
