Just found out that that might not happen now.
A map of the seats and incumbents up for re-election in 2018:
Midterms are usually a pretty good time for opposition parties to ratchet up the heat on incumbent administrations, but this time the Democrats will be playing defense across the country, and it could get rough. Still though, the blue states he was able to flip should be able to be flipped back so long as he doesn't do a scarily good job.
Instant run-off needs to be put on the ballot between now and then. I mean, look at the huge wave of anger from both sides of the aisle, as well as third party and undecided voters, and the shock of Trump's winning - by rights that should make any country want to revisit its electoral system... right? Anyway, we get instant run-off voting, we'll never have to go through anything like this again.
Edit: Maine had instant run-off on the ballot this election, and it passed! There is some hope yet!
