I'll agree with that well enough ... but I also draw a different conclusion from it.

I'm less enthusiastic about Trump than probably 1/3rd or more of those who voted for him. I think it's fun & all, just to feel like "so you mean there's a chance" again, but have limited hopes for the outcome.

A lot of those I know who voted for him truly bought into the whole "Make America Great Again" thing (I don't believe that's a realistic goal),

I've probably heard directly from around 250 or so Trump voters over the past weeks through election day. They may have had to convince themselves along the journey but by Tuesday over half were sold. (Not a lot over half probably, but still).
