Good article from the Los Angeles Daily News, the failing Los Angeles Times would never publish something like this .


--

Donald Trump’s election was a rebellion. Like all rebellions, it left in its wake a lot of really ticked-off people who are baffled and enraged that a crowd of formerly docile onlookers somehow managed to strike down their authority.
It’s an adjustment for them. If you played a drinking game with cable TV news and downed a shot every time an expert said, “This is not how it’s done,” you’d be under the breakfast table.
The worst thing that can happen, from the perspective of the people thrown out of power, is for things to go really well for everybody else after the coup. Gradually their own era of power recedes into the past, and their dire predictions of doom fade into irrelevancy..

Be is different and it is driving some, especially the left crazy. I may not like his personality and he may be a sleeze bag, but I think he is showing more and more all the time he is a good president and intends on doing his best to keep his word about what he said he would do if elected.
Last night his speech or rally actually was way too long, but I love the say he plays the crowd, he bring himself down to the level of the simple guy like most of us are. How long has it been since we have seen a president that actually holds rallies, or does out and faces the public?

I used to believe voting was pointless and the whole game was rigged ahead of time, but once trump won, I thought I may be wrong about that....the more I see whats going on and how things are progressing, I think I was right beforehand, trump was part of the plan all along, and its just a very clever deception, designed to fool majority of people, no matter if they are dems or repubs.

He held a rally for a gay bashing hate spewing nut job who preyed on teenage girls, of course he is going to find support and be able to play to the crowd....

Like a spoil child Trump might be "winning" but he's destroying the very thing he is winning and when he's done destroying America, he'll fly off to an island in the Pacific and never look back that the chaos he's left behind.

What has he destroyed ?
All around my area I see new construction. New businesses opening up in new buildings. New and large apartment complexes under construction. Hundreds of new homes with pools being offered for sale and selling.

If Trump is leading a rebellion, the rebellion is being led by
