I don't get it, it's "unprecedented" that a Republican win Ohio, Florida but lose the election?

"But but but, Trump clearly won the election because he won Ohio and Florida and that's not supposed to happen!"

Well I'm sorry, didn't you guys WANT a president who bucks precedent and to "shake things up"?

Trump's LOSS shook things up. This loss told the status quo to shove off.

Mission accomplished, you all should celebrate.

... the Repukes have been paranoid about election "fraud" and "cheating."

Yes there probably were some irregularities in that election. If there were, Mayor Daley most assuredly had something to do with those issues. However, the best man won that race and it's all been downhill since then.
