Letter: The people of this country have spoken

Lawrence Rettig

As I write this letter, Hillary Clinton is poised to hit 65,000,000 votes. That's approximately the number of votes President Barack Obama amassed in the 2012 election and 2.5 million more votes than Donald Trump got in this year's election. The people of this country have spoken. Trump does not have a mandate for anything he might do as president.
