Campaign 2016 is finally over. Here are the words Clinton and Trump ended with.


The 2016 presidential campaign ended a little after 1 a.m. on Election Day, after nearly 20 months of hard-fought campaigning. Donald Trump ended the night in Grand Rapids, Michigan, telling the crowd, "If we don't win, this will be the single greatest waste of time, energy, and money in my life." He wrapped up by urging his crowd to go home, sleep, then vote.
Hillary Clinton, after a massive rally in Philadelphia, held her last campaign event in Raleigh, North Carolina, with Lady Gaga and Jon Bon Jovi. She told her voters to reject Trump's "dark and divisive" vision and said there's no reason "America's best days are not ahead of us." She ended with her line about love trumping hate.
In their frenetic last day on the trail, Clinton held four events in three states and Trump hit five states. With an official estimate of 33,000 people, Clinton's Philadelphia rally — with Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, and Michelle and President Obama — was the largest of the 2016 campaign.
