If you could go back in time to the morning of Nov 7, 2016...

What would you do differently, if anything?

I would, personally, fly to Detroit and spend the day helping the GOTV efforts

Trump would probably spend the day insulting rust belt voters (he really doesn't want the job)

5. Nothing would've helped Clinton on November 7th... the time to do something was MUCH earlier, but, Hillary thought she could coast to victory...

that's like saying the night before a final exam, there was still a way to get an 'A' in a course you forget you were even enrolled in all semester (an occasional nightmare I still have, the 'forgotten course' dream)

Given the small margins she lost PA, MI and WI with--every little bit would have helped

... pretty much how Hillary ran her lax campaign.

I think Bernie worked harder for her election!

7. I would have bet a shit ton of money in him winning

And at least woken up the next day much richer. At least it wouldn't be all rich people getting richer then

I doubt there is much one person could do unless you are campaign manager

And no, I didn't vote for trump since that will be someone's response since I didn't say how i would manjically change the outcome by myself.

I would contact Trump and let him know he's going to win. I will then tell him he must immediately tweet 'This country needs Sharia law.' It will save the country and he won't have the problem of getting a job he doesn't want.

Win-win

That the law that these "conservatives" want to impose restricting women, gays, minorities etc is very similar to sharia law
