And they were certainly right in their premise - which was that rational people would never, ever vote for someone so ignorant, so inarticulate, so bigoted, so sexist, so offensive, so bullying, so nasty, so tawdry.
What they missed was that a mind-boggling chunk of America just doesn't care about core values.
A lot of people rational people didn't vote for him in the primaries, and then he won the nomination and then a lot of those rational people ended up voting for him because... Hillary. The worst candidate ever. She lost to Trump. Trump!
I have to admit I was one who first said: he isn't really serious: then I said he can not get the nomination, then I said the GOP will find a way to stop him and last but not least, even up to election day, I said he would not come anywhere close to winning. I am very happy now that I had to eat that awful crow!!!

Actually, didn't the "ignorant, inarticulate, bigoted, sexist, offensive bully" win the popular vote? Yes, she did but not the EC vote. See, there is a good purpose that EC vote reigns supreme, it would be able to block a candidate that was morally, mentally and physically incapable of being POTUS, someone like Hillary Cinton!

Hillary self-destructed little by little over an entire year. Trump was there picking up the pieces and claiming victory.
I could not believe that Trump won. I was sure that the Dems would find a way to cheat him like they did Bernie. That Hillary Clinton could not buy the election....... Life seems more fair now.
Yup, I admit it. I never believed that Trump would be chosen as the GOP nominee and I certainly never believed he could win the general election. But, there you go!
There is a POWERFUL lesson to be learned here. Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve. To political experience at all and now he is president.
