Abortions I do not like. I knew Clinton was no better than Trump. That is why I didn't vote for either candidate. I picked a third party candidate.
This is the thing. You can tell me why I should be scared of Clinton. However, you haven't told me what is there to like about Trump. I haven't been told how Trump would benefit ME. At the end of the day, I'm looking out for me.
you don't own and stocks or real estate?? If not you better buy some because the economy is booming!!
I am lucky enough to live within walking distance of a Republican-themed bar in downtown Baltimore. I know it's crazy to think that such a place exists in downtown Baltimore, but it does. So I knew there would be kindred souls there. I initially didn't go right after work because the thought of continuing Obama's failed regime of terror by electing Hillary Clinton was too disgusting and revolting to contemplate. It's certainly not something I was interested in celebrating.
But then, a crazy thing happened. Marco Rubio easily won Florida. At that point, I said to myself "this is going to be interesting." So, I got the dog and we walked over to the bar. Drinking commenced. I was still pretty convinced that Hillary would win, because none of the big swing states (NC, NH, OH, FL) had been called, but it was nice to see that the Republicans were doing better than expected in House and Senate races.
So the night went on and along with it the drinks kept flowing. The swing states started to come in for Trump, like OH FL and IA. The margins in IA and OH were huge, which was an omen for what was happening. Then, the Senate race in Wisconsin was called for Ron Johnson (R) almost right after the polls closed. He was supposed to lose to Russ Feingold, meaning Trump wasn't going to get coattails from the Senate race. I am from Wisconsin and most of my family lives there. I knew in the back of my mind at that point that it was pretty much over if Trump carried Wisconsin and broke the Blue Wall. Wisconsin has voted Democrat since like 1984. Sure enough, it was called for him a little bit later. That's when the shots came and the partying really started. Unfortunately Pennsylvania wasn't called until about 2:30 a.m. EST, so we had been kicked out of the bar. But me and the dog stayed up until about 4 a.m. and enjoyed every delicious moment of it.
Since that time, I have been pretty pleased with what he's done. I could do without some of the tweets, but on the whole it's what he DOES that I care about. I also have come to believe that Donald Trump saved the country, at least for a few years, by beating the establishment and Hillary Clinton.
It was by far the greatest political event that has occurred in my lifetime and we will never see anything like it again. This is coming from someone who voted against Trump in the primary and made an election day decision to vote for him even though I knew he didn't have a chance in Maryland. I will enthusiastically vote for him again and otherwise support him if he continues doing what he's doing.

Wow, so you weren't giggly or euphoric when Hussein won?
Sadaam Hussein never ran in a race for the US Presidency.
