Coronation? Elitist, no? Zara Rahim, Huma Abedin. Same person?
Quote:
Zara Rahim, Clinton campaign national spokeswoman told Esquire that she was already planning her Instagram caption. "We were waiting for the coronation," Rahim recalled.
New Yorker editor David Remnick had a historical essay celebrating Clinton's win ready to go. "The idea was to press 'post' on that piece, along with many other pieces by my colleagues at The New Yorker, the instant Clinton's victory was declared on TV," Remnick said.
No MEDIA BIAS???
Quote:
Over at SNL, comedian Neal Brennan said "all the writers [were] crestfallen."
Scheduled for a 2:00 a.m. panel on CNN, New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman conceded she "wasn’t prepared to talk about it."
"I couldn’t really understand what had happened," Haberman recalled. "And I think images of gobsmacked reporters probably wouldn’t have helped".

And all of his followers cheered.
Then came the "apology tour." Obama traveled around the world publicly humiliating America and making himself out to be some kind of savior of the world who would right America's wrongs. He lied about most everything he criticized America for.
The "happy days are hear again" was election night 2016, when a real American was elected President (Obama spent most of his formative years in Indonesia ...he did not grow up knowing what it was to be an American), and "progressivism" (Marxist-socialism) was rejected.
I doubt "over half the country" is in such distress. Many Democrats are benefiting from the booming economy, with the Markets hitting new records monthly. There investments are paying off big. (Yes, Democrats invest too ...they are capitalists in secret, while openly hostile to capitalism). Are they crying on their way to the bank?
Under Obama's Presidency, home ownership fell to post WWII levels. Household incomes plummeted. Unemployment skyrocketed, and with it, the number of people receiving government assistance. Health insurance became unaffordable to many as they saw premiums double and triple and deductibles skyrocket ...insurance became a bigger part of the family budget than a mortgage payment. Meanwhile, Obama would go on TV and tell us how great his "accomplishments" were and lie about the state of the economy.
The popular vote is irrelevant, because we are not a democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic, comprising 50 sovereign states, each voting independently to choose the President, who is a Representative not of the people, but of the States, in foreign affairs. He is also the chief executive officer and Commander-in-Chief. The only thing that counts is which candidate won the most States, and that candidate was Donald Trump, and he won by a huge margin. It was a "landslide."
If you want a president elected by popular vote, then move to a socialist country. See how you like real socialism. I hear Venezuela is nice. Socialism seems to be working very well there. It is a perfect example of socialism.
Obama is not Kenyan, he's American. And he's not a socialist. This post is full of libel

Oh, that's right ...he was "born in Hawaii" (with no record of his birth). And I stand corrected ...he's not a socialist he's a "progressive" (Marxist-socialist) who was raised by a communist mother and father and mentored by communist, Frank Marshall Davis.
But he spent most of his formative years in Indonesia where he attended a private Muslim school, and where he was listed as a Muslim student.
I'm betting you think that Trump's legal and Constitutional "travel ban" is a "Muslim ban," though, even though it isn't. Would I be right?
FDR, LBJ, Carter, Clinton, OBAMA. All big government control freaks, and leaders of oppression by government dependency, and control. Clinton was moderated by a Republican Congress and was FORCED to move to the center. Still a big government leftist. His "wife" was worse, but thankfully will never know what it is like to be a chief executive. Banished to the basement of Chappaqua with her email server, and Chardonnay. Ding dong the witch is dead.
Yeah. Just as funny as Trump insisting that his inauguration attendance was the biggest in history. Both sides were and are self absorbed egomaniacs.
We have know way of knowing just how large the crowd was at Trump's inauguration because the park service quit estimating crowd size. What we do know is that the "mainstream media" released some phony photos taken before the inauguration and before the area was filled, and then claimed that there were vast areas with no spectators. It was a lie. The place was completely covered, as photos taken later showed.
This was a tactic that the "mainstream media" used throughout Trump's campaign, when they tried to say there weren't huge crowds of people at his rallies.
They're still trying to use this tactic today, as they released a photo of an empty stadium recently that was taken before the place filled up, and then had to 'apologize' for it.

I am not going to utter a word about liberal big government control freaks.
My state has a rainy day fund larger than many state budgets.
Still the one party in power long enough to control everything in the state clammers for FEMA money to protect us from 50 years of bad decisions made by those same elected politicians.
I'll believe the smaller government mantra when they do away with FEMA.
