No, I think people did not get out and vote in the primaries so we were stuck with the two candidates we were. The other problem is they vilified him so much that the other side said Screw that, we are voting for him no matter what you people say.
Rhetoric, such as Mr.Trumps, can be powerful and people underestimated that.
I cannot stand him, to be honest, but I did not like Hilary, either. I did vote, though.

@justmerae: Trump is like Cod liver oil. Not pleasant but beneficial. This country desperately needs Trump right now. That's why I get so crazy over what the leftist are doing. We could start living the dream again, and be that shining city on the hill, but the leftists are so dead set on getting revenge for losing the election, they are destroying our dream and will make this country as vulnerable as a slug in a salt mine. I don't like becoming a raging monster like I do sometimes, but I've always been a genuine nephew of my Uncle Sam, and the left attacking this country affects me like they are attacking my own family.
At fault of what exactly, the fault of democracy actually lies with those too lazy to vote that is the democracy the right to vote and idiots who didn't brought this on two thirds of the populous...so democracy does work by definition if one exercises their right to vote. Don't blame Trump we all know he is a nut bag and fruit loop so why the hell didnt those idiots exercise their democratic right.
Trump is simply the result of the left having a horrible candidate, and the democrats going so far left that they disenfranchised many of their own,
I, as an avid Trump supporter, pretty much have Obama, Clinton, Pelosi, Reid, and other overboard people on the left to thank for Trumps election. Trumps position in the white house is more the result of the actions of his detractors than the votes of his supporters.

Trump is just being true to Trump.
The fact that he was elected under the Republican flag is the bit that's at fault !
Irony being that had he flown as an independent he might well have had an even bigger majority since the candidacy of almost ALL those taking part was probably questionable !

@bijouxbroussard: I agree. But the systems allows that to happen and that by itself might be considered democracy at fault, or not?

@Dreammmer: I dunno. What we have seems too complicated to really be called a democracy, it's much more a republic. And in that regard, there have been questions about whether or not the Electoral College system still makes sense. Should we try to become an actual democracy where the Presidential election came down to who had the most votes by individual voters ? Every election it would be California vs. Texas. 😶

@lilchickennugget23: But my question is about Trump and democracy.

At fault to what exactly? We don't live in a democracy. Our Democratic republic system is designed to place as much of the decision power into elected officials as possible. It's more proof of people's general frustration than anything else.
