United States presidential election, 2016 (Glorious America)

The United States presidential election of 2016 was the 58th quadrennial presidential election. It was held on Tuesday, November 8, 2016. Republican Party nominee Governor John Kasich of Ohio and running mate Senator Marco Rubio of Florida defeated Democratic Party nominee Former Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton of New York and running mate Governor Terry McAuliffe of Virginia.
The incumbent president, Barack Obama, was ineligible to be elected to a third term due to term limits in the Twenty-second Amendment to the United States Constitution. At first, it seemed like a cake walk for Hillary Clinton. However, she only narrowly beat out Senator Bernie Sanders in the primaries. Hillary chose Terry McAuliffe who endorsed to be governor as her running mate.
In early 2016, it was believed Donald Trump would receive the nomination. However, after winning Ohio, John Kasich changed the game. He won the nomination and chose Marco Rubio as his running mate.
Despite the popularity of Clinton, this seemed to be a win for the Republicans. This is most likely thanks to the vice presidential choice who helped Trump win Florida.
