Those two precedents can't be emphasized enough.
Going back a little farther, the same thing happened in 1972: the media and the "intellectuals" were in the tank for McGovern, but Nixon (who had none of Reagan's charm, and was in the midst of Watergate) won 49 states.
But, whoever wins, the aftermath of this election is gonna be ugly, and Christians need to be prepared for it.
