Uncomfortable and unwelcome. Turned off the TV and didn't watch any news until Feb.

This is exactly how I felt.

Jubilant! I would not go to sleep until they called Pennsylvania but the air was clear the next day, sun seemed brighter, I felt like a weight was lifted, bounce to step, etc.

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?
Amazed that there were enough voters to vote the Con Man into office, but then again look at the two choices, neither was qualified and since the election that has been proven true on both counts.

Hopeful that our country was back in the hands of a leader that doesn't hate me and our country.

"How did you feel one year ago tonight?"

I had the same exhilarating feeling you get after reaching the summit of a 14er, but minus the exhaustion. I never thought that I would witness the election of a non politician, so it was pretty special.

There's that "Entitled" word again that Dems love to use.
