that's ok, because that's what we need right now. Someone who will come in and bulldoze through business as usual and make some changes.

That he doesn't know what he doesn't know is a very good thing

Mr Trump knew enough to go into the Communities that were hurt the most and TALK to them, LISTEN to them - the Presumptive Queen could not be bothered to do that -- she attended Gala Fund Raisers and vacationed in the Homes of the Elite Wealthy.

Mr Trump knew enough to craft his own message, in his own way and NOT allow the Corporate Media to scare him away from his message by calling him Nasty Names.

And Finally ...... Mr Trump never attacked (either physically or verbally) Americans who disagreed with him.
His message was "Make America Great Again - For Everyone" ...... his opponent sliced/diced and never talked about "everyone".

Bill Clinton used to be known as the best Politician - the guy who understood and could talk to the "regular folks". I wonder what happened to that man - I don't think he would have completely ignored the State of Wisconsin with ZERO visit. I don't think he would have refused to send resources to Michigan when they begged, he would not have refused to go to Michigan when they told him that the campaign was in trouble and Hillary could LOSE.

And LOSE, she did. The "Let Them Eat Cake" arrogance did them in.

I've never quite understood the strategy of insulting someone you lost to. If Democrats were smart they'd be complimenting Trump and attempting to raise expectations, instead all they've done is lower the bar so much all he has to do is not be Hitler II and he'll cruise to reelection.

They are so corrupt that they have never lost before, so they don't know the rules.

Not only this, but what is the benefit (to Democrats/Clinton supporters/left-leaners) in calling those of us who supported Trump racist/xenophobic/misogynistic/neo-nazis? Not only have they not met us (meaning they make these vicious claims in the absence of any evidence), but a wise strategist would want those on the other side to join their side in future elections. Can you think of a less effective way of getting people to join your cause than maligning them despite never having met them?

If someone supported Clinton, I might express frustration or bewilderment but I won't insult them. I'll try to make the case for why conservatism is a better approach but the dumbest thing to do would be to insult that person.

Enough to get re-elected, to reverse the recession, near depression. Reverse massive unemployment numbers, return the stock market from the dumps. Managed just nicely, thank you.
