Trump was the most defeat-able candidate in the history of this country...maybe any country. I'm no Hillary hater, but it seems most everyone else was. So they put her up against a guy that's political poison to any rational constituency.
Naturally he won.
Gee what happened? Humm well you fielded the "Bride of Frankenstein" against a Nazi Daffy Duck. Hell I was tempted to vote for Daffy over her.
Yes if nothing else this is the final...I hope I hope I hope destruction of Neo-Liberal hell.
This guy is nuts, and though I panicked, and thought the cattle cars were being readied for the usual suspects. ...of which I am seriously one. I think instead this is going to be a "Three Stooges" movie directed by Dan Quayle on the fabled bad "Brown Acid" while getting a blow job from a pencil sharpener.
So I'm just going to sit back, and watch Hell on Earth happen for the entertainment of a weary world which is in serious need of a few laughs.

Stay Tuned.
Even if he tries to deliver some make-work infrastructure projects like highway-building, as promised, he might not be able to. The USA is now 20 trillion dollars in debt. So he may wind up just being the bag-holder for his predecessors.
There is no left left this country. I suspect the core constituency of the Democrats are the well-to-do, masking their economic self interest behind a façade of social justice and fake concern for minorities. The real issues of our time are economics and class warfare against a background of general decline, not a rehash of civil rights struggles against a background of wealth and progress, like NPR keep trying to pretend it is.
One good thing at least has come from this election: it is now clear that a large proportion of the population no longer trust the news media or believe what they tell them. This vote of no confidence is well earned and richly deserved, IMHO.
