One year ago tonight Trump pulled off the most amazing come from behind win since the New England Patriots beat the Atlanta Falcons in the Super Bowl.

Looking back on the most improbable win in politics ever I am still amazed that Donald Trump is our President.
When you think about the premise that an average citizen albeit a rich one, with no political experience at all but with a genuine concern for America could take on 17 career politicians and beat them to the nomination and then beat out the most experienced, most deserving person since George Washington who for many in the media was just going through the motions of the election before her coronation....


Where were you one year ago and how did you feel?

My wife and I were sitting on the couch flipping the TV between Fox and CNN. The look on the faces at the CNN news room was gloomy to say the least. They were actually a good 20 minutes behind Fox in reporting the latest results that were leaning pro Trump.

How did you feel that night, the next day when it was confirmed that Trump had actually pulled off the upset of a lifetime?

I know I was amazed and the future of America suddenly looked a whole lot brighter. I was a bit concerned about all the changes that Trump had proposed in his campaign but even if it hurt I believed that America needed the upheaval. As we have seen the swamp is so much deeper then even Trump had figured.






SO how did you feel this time last year when it was confirmed that Trump had won?

I had to work Election night and didn't get to see the meltdowns live.

It's all good though. The YouTube compilations post-Trump victory have been delicious.

Surprised but a little relieved that Hillary was not going to be president. I didn't want Hillary or Trump but I guess I thought Trump would be the better of the two. I didn't vote for either one..

It was amazing! Incredible! If you go back to that night in the forum, I was giving the blow by blow and it was freaking exciting! I went to bed at 1 a.m.... knowing Trump was our President!

I was relieved on election night one year ago. Hillary was the worst presidential candidate I'd ever voted against.

I saw the beginning of the end of America. I was right. America is in the worst shape it's been since the Civil War.

Trump supporters have proven to be a malignant cancer on humanity.

Naturally this was Trump's fault according to the Left. His first official infraction.
