But Trump Won

        Last week the people of this great country voted and the people won.  The political elite lost.  I was not surprised.  I had been concerned because I believed the future of the country was at risk. 
        I felt Trump could win, but I am surprised at how convincingly he won.  The people from the “deplorable basket” have spoken.  The silent majority was not silent.  They are fed up with the political elite.  This was the most consequential election in my lifetime.
        I find it amazing that the media was so surprised and considered it such an upset.  The working class of this country is fed up with corrupt big government, and Hillary represented everything they are fed up with. 
        Hillary’s campaign outspent Trump 2 to 1, and Wall Street totally supported her, but Trump still won.  Hillary had more staff and a better ground game, but Trump still won. 
        The media did every thing possible to elect Clinton.   She was continually praised and complimented.  Over 90% of all media coverage of Trump was negative, but Trump won. 
        Some states like those on the east and west coasts and Illinois are so strongly Democrat that they would vote for a convicted serial rapist/killer of children if that person was on the Democrat ticket.  Over 90% of Washington DC voted for Clinton.  I think that shows how committed they are to a corrupt big government.   But Trump won. 
        The polls predicted Clinton a winner and gave Trump little or no chance.  They expected the race to be called early.  But Trump was a clear and convincing winner.  Can the pollsters and commentators be that incompetent, or were they just trying to insure Hillary won?  I never received a call asking how I would vote.  Was this an accident or an intentional manipulation to promote Clinton?   But Trump won. 
        I work as an election inspector in our little Wisconsin township.  Wisconsin was predicted to favor Clinton.  The turnout in our township was around 90% and when we ran the tallies Trump won with more than double the votes for Clinton.  Was omitting our township from polling intentional?
        Some people voted for Clinton because she was a woman.  Some voted for her because she was a Democrat.  Some voted for her to continue the welfare society and government handouts.  Some voted for her to continue big government and protect their government jobs.  But Trump won. 
        Trump is an outsider and he may be the most non-partisan president in history.  Both political parties did everything in their power to stop him, but Trump won.  In fairness, some Republicans did support him in the end. 
        The media and the political elite could not attack Trump on the issues, his program, his business experience, or his leadership abilities, so they had to attack him as a racist, or a sexist.  They made a huge issue of any politically incorrect word or statement that he ever made.  The public is fed up with this kind of politics, and Trump won. 
        The media and political elite tried to divide the country along sex, race, and religious lines to hurt Trump, but he showed he was for all Americans and he won convincingly.  This was and is a political revolution. 
        Some celebrities vowed to leave the country if Trump won.  Considering who they were, I hope they keep their word.  There are many socialist countries they can choose from.
        There was a time when the Democratic Party was the pro-slavery party.  Later they were considered the working man’s party.  Neither is true today.  The Republican Party never was pro-slavery, but they were considered the party of the rich.  The truth is neither party has represented working America for decades.  
        Trump won last week.  The Republican Party was not the reason, but Trump helped a lot of Republicans to be elected.  Republicans may be getting the message that people are fed up with the political elite, big government, and elected officials that don’t represent working people.   
        I hope the Democrats get the message too, but I wouldn’t count on it yet.  Eight years ago when Obama was elected President, the Democrats also controlled Congress.  How has that worked out?  What have they done for the country besides doubling the debt?  I am not saying Obama was the only problem, but his legacy is gone.   
        Like Reagan, Trump was a Democrat when younger and now ran as a Republican, but he ran to represent all the people of this country.  He did not try to divide the country or make promises to any special interest group.  He is also not obligated financially to any special interest group or donor.  Trump is very unique.  He is an experienced manager and a deal maker.  He is in a good position to cross party lines and work for the people.  
        I wish Trump all the success this country deserves.  God bless America.
