In my own opinion, the best we can get from this election is 4 years where NOTHING. HAPPENS. AT. ALL.
In another opinion, it has become obvious Trump pulled off the ultimate crime: he successfully managed to make the Democratic party believe that him having real support was ridiculous. Because of this, nobody really focused on trying to sway fringe supporters (and as it turns out, calling all Trump supporters bigots is not how you get them on your side), leaving him to win with a near-equal voters.
That being said, this is the 4th time someone has won the public vote but lost the electoral vote. The fact that I can go on the internet and see a live update of the public vote during an election, means the system has no use in the modern age where we don't need to worry if all our citizen's votes will make it to D.C.
