They say “anyone can become president”, but this will be the first presidential election since 1970s, where there is no Bush, Clinton, or Biden on the ballot.

Something about him still winning despite losing the popular vote should’ve been an eye opening moment, but I guess they didn’t care when it happened with Al Gore either

I was in college when this happened. Absolutely nobody thought he could win until Florida was called. Trump himself seemed mildly surprised in his victory speech.
