Although the nightmare that was the approximate 600 days of election season was a mess of anger, stress, and utter nonsense, there were 10 moments I can think of that either made me laugh, cry or both. The 2016 election will definitely go down in history as one of the most contentious and nasty elections in modern times, and perhaps the most surprising in recent memory. Here's why.

10. Carly Fiorina dropped a bomb on Trump.

The woman who almost declared a nuclear war against Planned Parenthood had the best comeback to Donald Trump's comeback on his statement that she didn't have the "presidential look".

9. Jeb Bush actually begged a "crowd" at his "rally" to clap. It was cringeworthy.

Jeb Bush, the victim to Donald Trump's endless tirade of bullying couldn't even excite his own group of supporters and had to ask them to clap. Cringe.

8. Bernie got a bird.

Senator Bernard "Bernie" Sanders was at a massive rally when a bird landed on his podium, which became a rallying cry for his supporters and possibly assured us that he is, in fact, the best human being alive, ever.

7. Marco Rubio talked about Donald Trump's junk and it got super weird.

There is literally, nothing in the universe that we wanted to hear about less than Donald Trump's genitals, and yet, the GOP hopeful Marco Rubio made a sliding reference to the Donald's junk, and it was just really awkward and weird.

6. Kate McKinnon was literally everything good about this election.

Kate McKinnon not only won an Emmy for her SNL portrayal of Hillary Clinton, but also kept most of us sane with her funny, poignant portrayal of the notorious HRC herself, and let's not forget that time Hillary actually showed up to help "Hillary" through her crisis.

5. When Hillary shimmied on national television everybody lost their shit.

I almost pooped my pants when the most powerful woman in politics shimmied at the chance to eviscerate her male opponent. Feminist, much? Yes, queen.

4. Michelle Obama's DNC speech gave us all the feels.

Michelle Obama was probably the best first lady since Eleanor Roosevelt and she gave us raw emotion at the DNC this year.

3. Hillary Clinton playing with balloons like a 5-year-old on her birthday.

All I need in life is someone who will look at me the same way Hillary Clinton looked at those balloons.

2. Beyoncé slayed for Hillary and, of course, we all died.

And let's be honest, we all logged onto Etsy to see where the hell we could get one of those Formation hats/I'm With Her t-shirts.

1. Ted Cruz nearly punched his wife in the mouth and then threw an elbow.

Ted Cruz has been the guy in class everyone throws stuff at when they're angry because the guy is honestly the anti-human being. He's been called "lucifer in the flesh" by John Boehner and rumored to be the zodiac killer. He's been denied affection from his own child and Carly Fiorina fell at his rally. So Ted Cruz doing this at his concession speech was the cherry on the cake.
