USA 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has garnered 64,223,958 tallied votes by Wednesday morning, over 2 million more votes than President-elect Donald Trump, according to data released by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report.

“They are starting to recognise there really is something off about the election results as they come in”, she wrote. It’s not going to change anything and I would bet big bucks that for majority the “group think” took over and they just wanted to be a part of it.
