You wouldn't need to persuade 62m, I think if you persuaded 2m that would have been enough to swing the election one way or the other.
Let's not forget though, Trump also got his fair share of embarrassing scandals thrown his way, Pussygate was the big one, him not releasing his Tax returns probably being another.

The pussygate alone should have cost him the election, his party was literally turning his back on him when that video tape was released and I think many were expecting him to abandon his candidacy, but he remained firm and despite that tape, women went out and voted for Trump in droves because they simply did not want Hillary and they say this is Russian influence? Utter bollocks.

On the subject of number of votes, more voted for Hillary (65m to the Donalds 62m) but that's the World's greatest democracy for you ! (our system is no better).
No better in your eyes because you don't like the results.

There is nothing 'ludicrous' about his wiretapping claims, Obama Administration had form when it came to spying on folk and even friendly folk, allies, just ask UN's Ban Ki Moon. Ask the French too and other countries....

The 'who got most votes' is getting an old tired argument , they, (Both Trump and Clinton) entered the Election race knowing the rules and they are, to win States, not total votes.
