On the Spot: Reaction to Trump Presidential victory

I was pleasantly surprised. If I had to choose, I would’ve chosen Trump over Hillary just cause I think that he would've had more success. This doesn’t mean much for me, I'm just gonna keep on going with my life.

I’m not surprised. The polls didn’t include unregistered voters, which gave Clinton a lead, so I was pretty sure that Trump was gonna win. It was going to be a close race right from the get- go, but I wasn’t surprised that he won.

I was very surprised that he actually ended up winning. I didn’t support either candidate, but I would’ve chosen Trump over Hillary. This election might affect other people based on Trump’s decisions, but not me as an individual.

I was saddened and it made me scared. It made me scared for the future of what could possibly happen to our country, but I think I would’ve felt that way regardless of which candidate won.
