United States presidential election, 2016 (Infinityy's World)

The United States presidential election of 2016 was the 58th quadrennial Presidential Election. It saw former First Lady and Secretary of State winning by a large margin of 17.8%, Jeb Bush was the Republican nominee and lost to Hillary Clinton in a shocker election. Clinton made history by becoming the first female President ever being elected to office.
Clinton overtook popular Democratic nominee Bernie Sanders in the final few months before the election, thanks to her large effort in integrating with new voter bases. Liberals and feminists were her main voters. Sanders was not far trailing behind Clinton though, at some points in the campaign, he was even ahead of Clinton but fell back in the final months before the election.
Bush was in competition with Donald Trump throughout the presidential campaign, with Trump dominating most of it. Bush eventually overtook Trump and won the Republican nomination. Sadly he lost to Clinton by quite a large margin in the electoral vote, seats carried, and popular vote.
