But maybe this what happens when no one has faith in the politicians or media anymore.

And you don't think that's not 100% earned?

People voted for Trump because he wasn't a career politician. A large portion of America is tired of seeing the same crop of politicians rotating through leadership of the country. Especially when the Dems put up a candidate who promised more of the same after 8 years of Obama. Same reason that I and others voted third party: we're tired of the same old song and dance. It really isn't that difficult to figure out, once you realize that people are allowed to have a different opinion from yours.

Will Trump being POTUS be better than Hillary? Hard to say. IMO, he isn't nearly as bad as the Dems portray him, nor as good as his supporters claim. From my point of view, I hope we never find out how Hillary would handle being POTUS.

If it's a "backlash", it's a result of your attacks on us to make us less than equal. That's how a backlash works. You whip someone, and that whip flies back toward you.

What are you talking about? I don't want anyone with political, government or legal experience. They are the problem. I just want an American president who is patriotic and will put Americans first primarily. I have more faith in your average plumber than Hillary.

Hillary has only one person to blame for her loss in 2916, herself and the rest of the very liberal Democratic party that continues to drift further and further to the left.

Keep blaming sexism and making other excuses.

While some libs hate her the Majority including most of the party and the celebrities love her. They truly believe Russianstole the election from her. If she runs again on that platform
Of "revenge against having the election stolen" the majority of Dems would be behind her 100%
True, and I wouldn't be surprised if she gets even more money from supporters out of pity for having lost due to "Russian interference"

I do. I had problems with the media and politicians long before I had problems with Trump.
