abstract
| - The US presidential election of 2016 was the 58th quadrennial presidential election. It was held on November 8th, 2016. The Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and her running mate Julian Castro won the popular vote and the electoral college by a landslide, making it the biggest victory of the Democratic Party since 1964, and making her the first female president of the United States. The Republican Party led by Donald Trump suffered from a spoiler effect caused by the Conservative Party, a third party led by Rick Perry that was created by former Republicans as a protest against Trump's nomination. As a result the Democrats took advantage and sweeped the swing states while the red states got split between the opposition parties. The Conservative Party was quickly disbanded afterwards and a strong rift was caused in the Republican Party. The Conservative Party led the best result for a Third Party in recent history, being the first third party to get electoral votes since 1972 and the first to carry states since 1968. While the Libertarian Party pulled it's greatest performance as a party in history in popular votes, while failing to get any delegates, they managed to get 5% of the vote to become a major party.
