Trump has now exceeded Romney for the second most votes ever by a Rep candidate. Bush 43 had 62,039,572. Trump now has 61,251,881 and counting.
The other issue is that neither Hillary nor Donald got even close to 50% of the vote. In some elections, it wouldn’t be considered fair until they had a run-off between just those two. 4.2 million third party votes were for Johnson and it’s reasonable to assume most of those would split to the Republican in a run-off. There were also 700,000 votes for McMullin and Constitution party. Stein only had 1.3 million. So almost 5-to-1 third party votes were on the more conservative side.
