Looks like more people on the left voted for the candidate put in front of them than those on the right.

Trump was not my first choice but he was the last candidate standing, that's who I voted for. The Democrats could've ran any candidate other than hillary and easily won but why didn't they?

The fact that Trump removed any possibility that hillary will ever be POTUS is mission accomplished.
No what it shows, is when the left is dis-satisfied with their candidate choices they simply don't vote. This is proven by the low turn out in support for Hillary compared to Obama and Clinton in the past. This simple thing shows your argument is not valid.

The key point here, is even with a low turn out from Democrats, Hillary still received more votes than Trump.
