Was Hitler Duly Elected?

 I sat and watched a 1-minute video of Hillary Clinton on the View, and this comment from Hillary popped up.

So, here's the historical side of this.

National election in Germany (1930)...meant you voted for a party, 37 were listed nationally.  

The Nazis (Hitler) took 18-percent of the vote.  

To form a coalition, the winner (the SPD folks) could NOT work a coalition with the Communist Party....so the Nazis were the partner to this coalition.  

So if you use the term duly elected....yeah, it is a true statement.  But you have to consider the implication....could the SPD folks ever partner up with the Communist Party (in that era)?  After the problems of Munich in 1919?  No....so the election system worked as designed....you took the least of problems into the coalition.
