If estimates of our population right now are correct, 30% + of the nation voted today.

That is totally amazing.

Welcome to 2 million short of 100 million people who voted these last few weeks.

1/3rd, 33.3333333 (repeating)%.

My god. This is the first time in 15 years I have felt so proud to be part of this nation.

I really believe that this guy is going to heal the rifts that the current administration willingly created, and bring us back from the brink of disastrous decisions fiscal, foreign relations, military, and energy.
