Its not about using it to erode his legitimacy or contest the election. It's about pointing out that the man ran a campaign and a platform that caused more people to vote against him than for him. Sure he figured out the right combination of people to get him a win. That doesn't make him a qualified president with a meaningful platform. Its like when an NHL team makes it to the playoffs on loser points and SO wins. It doesn't make them a good team, just a lucky one.
