What this election has proved is that establishment controlled media conspired together to call the election.

CNN & NYTimes acted innocently today that they have no idea how this could've happened. They knew what the country is going through and they covered every primary and saw across America what was happening.

Trump was filling stadiums while Hillary could barely fill an auditorium on the campaign trails.

You could see journalists reporting on Trump constantly misquotes him and intentionally hot topics his controversial sentences but refuse to frontpage and highlight his real positions.

CNN, NyTimes, Washington Post are all guilty of public deception and deceit.

Trump proved that all the time spent by candidates raising money is wasted.

The money goes to pay for political consultants, tv, internal polling. putting organizers in every congressional district. The political consultant class was just proved useless.

It will be interesting to see the cost per vote for POTUS, senators and congressman.

Trump's movement will be in the history books forever. He's runned the most frugal campaign ever where social media, people's word of mouth, and his circle of friends and people that were loyal to his movement volunteered their time and resources to make this happen. Defying American capitalism where the elite believes every vote can be influenced with money.

Clinton raised over $1 BILLION! yes that billion. That includes $201m from the big business superPACS.

Trump raised less then half of that, including over $50 million of his own money. His superPAC money was about a quarter of Hillary's.

This is another game changer - no longer can a candidate purchase a way into the whitehouse, via corporate contributions or not.
