Democracy is more than just elections, but even focusing on that's election it is hard to say it is the most democratic thing in a century when he did not win with a plurality of the popular vote.

I guess I just focused on the whole How Democracies die thing, considered free elections to be the hallmark of democracies, and provided an example that directly refutes the premise; hell the special election in Alabama is another more recent example.

I feel the election of Trump was pretty Democratic as in our current democracy (we don't do popular vote in GE) he won when every deck was stacked against him.
