I think what it all boils down to is your average middle age man didn’t want a woman, such as Hillary, to run this country. Her running mate wasn’t really convincing either.
This country has been seeking change since 2008 and the next four years could definitely be MUCH different than the last four. Let’s try and be optimistic about Trump and hope he doesn't bomb first and ask questions later.
Yep. That was why I started to support him in the first place - he was anti-establishment, and the GOP was acting very establishment. We still have some who do, (Ryan, Rubio), but the most important goal was to get a non-establishment president. I'm still not going to say it's Trump's because it's not over, but man, if it happens, as I said many pages back, those who just won the House and Senate will know that they are on watch. And they will know that what we did with the presidency can easily be done to them.
The government works for US, we do not work for the government.
Yep. 1st time voters didn't care that their new president has never cared about our Country. Trump and his kids were too special to serve in our Military, mine weren't.
That is Lebanon County in South Central PA, that Romney won, I think, with 63% of the vote in 2012.
Looks like there are a handful of votes in Berks County still to come in - they'll lean to Clinton. York County votes could be a toss-up. Used to be solid red, but a lot of NY'ers have moved in. Lebanon should go red.
I don't think it's that simplistic -
Leftists cram people into "Baskets".
The Media continually hypes "the woman vote", "the Hispanic Vote" , the "Black Vote", the "LBGT Vote".
OK -- but they ignore the "married women with children", the Hispanic people that struggled to become citizens and fear the Illegal Gangs and the "LBGT people" who have all the same concerns that the average citizen does - same thing for the "Black Vote" that also have the same concerns that their white (or whatever) neighbors have OR have worked out that they are tired of being Cannon Fodder for the Leftists/Democrats when it comes to Election time.
A big part of Trump's strength is that he considers every an "American" and not somebody stuffed into a 'basket'. He spoke equally to all and for anyone who bothered to look at his Rallies would have seen the very wide Diversity of people who stood in line for 6-12 hours to get into those Rallies.
Just because the Media, Ideologues and Pollsters were ignoring all that .....
Doesn't mean it was not happening. The FED UP Crowd was quiet and resolute.
The Monster Vote felt they had spoken enough with the votes in 2010 & 2014 - and they were ignored.
They found another way ...... an outsider who listened and spoke for them and then they waited for the Election.
Amen, Kibby. I was just about to write the same exact thing.
