Presidential Elections are in odd numbered years; Inaugurations even ones. Pardon the mansplaining. It just slipped out.
2017 is an even number?
There was no presidential election in 1958:

It is the opposite like you say. Testing freepers. You passed.
Somebody always cries at the losing candidate’s election night headquarters. And usually more than one person. They’ve worked hard for their candidate and it all came to nothing in the end. If you take into account the generation, age, and gender of Hillary supporters, and the fact that they weren’t expecting to lose and hadn’t prepared for it, all the tears weren’t much of a surprise.
