A little stream of consciousness for this post, but I am so glad that Trump managed to defy the odds and become President elect. He could turn out to be the absolute worst president that we've ever had, but I think he deserves a shot far more than the rattlesnake Hillary. Of course as my other posts indicate, I'll always vote for the side that is prolife. If Trump's presidency results in one baby's life being saved from the abortion mills, then he'll be a far better leader than any baby killer we've had in office.
I'll throw my 2 cents in to tell you a few of my theories as to why Hillary lost.
1. Like Obama, Trump had tons of fans who liked him to go along with the detractors that hated him. Hillary, for her part attracted tons of hate, but didn't muster up too many fans. McCain and Romney couldn't muster up much support either. The former was too much like 'W' and people just couldn't take another four more years of that, and the latter was Mormon. For better or worse real people can't back a 'weird' religion like Mormonism. That's how the cookie crumbled for crooked Clinton, real people--leftists who are legitimately my friends--didn't like her a bit. They just thought she'd be better than Trump. A lesson to both mainstream parties is that you should elect a candidate that people will rally behind, not some empty suit who is 'destined' to be the president. Real people won't buy it.
2. In this three-ring circus of an election cycle one of the biggest gaffes may have come from Obama himself. In a recent interview he all but flat out called for non-citizens to vote. This is your sitting president winking at illegal aliens/undocumented residents telling them to hit the polls and they won't be reported or prosecuted. This really put a lot of people who were previously undecided on the war path. Voting is the right of the CITIZEN of our country. People can't cross the boarder illegally and expect to have any right beyond the right to remain silent...and technically, I'm not so sure a boarder jumper even qualifies for the Miranda Rights when it comes down to it.
3. We don't like cheaters and she was just way too dirty. Sanders may well have been a creation of the DNC and never meant to be taken as a serious contender to the presidency, but whether or not he was always a wolf in sheep's clothing, a lot of young voters got behind him. Personally, I believe that he was always a talebearer at best and a shyster at worst, but the wikileaks proved that Hillary cheated to win the nomination. Why would anyone in the DNC--and for that matter the RNC--want to sabotage a candidate that may win the White House? At the end of the day it is a popularity contest after all.
4. She's a woman. A bitter...shrill...cantankerous...old...woman. For better or worse the US isn't quite ready for a female president yet. If we ever do get one she's going to have to be cute like that Judge Jeanine Pirro or Condoleeza Rice or else be a plucky spitfire like Judge Judy or Carly Fiorina. We don't like or want a witch. You know Oprah could probably run and do some real damage. I'm not even kidding. She's more approachable, has tons of charisma and she's not stupid. One of these days she might follow Trump's lead.
So that's it. I'm celebrating the sound of thousands of liberal heads exploding. I hope you are as happy as I am in this moment.
