Sorry to bust your bubble but in Europe, many people are voting for their country First too!

They are sick of the economic refugees that don’t want to work but want hand outs and on top of that crime arose to unbelievable heights.

Even anti rape course are now given!

Will Democrats ever admit that the bad policies of Obama lead to President Trump..
Why Trump, and not a conservative candidate like Cruz or any of the other 12 candidates?

It seems fairly obvious you'd be saying the same thing no matter who had won. Personally I think the biggest reason was Hillary, and lack of good candidates on the Dem side. Even Hillary managed to win the popular vote.

Did Obama somehow turn Republicans away from conservatism?

Will the Republicans ever admit it was all about racism and not wanting to give a woman the power of President?

That doesn’t burst my bubble, at all. Angela Merkle is the modern day equivalent of Eve with her apple. I think she may have accomplished what many a male rouge leader in past tried and failed at, the destruction of Europe.

Trump's win was partially because of Obama, but IMO, mostly because people were tired of feeling yanked around by the political elites and the media.

In many ways, the media vote for our politicians in this country. They are the gatekeepers to the information we need to make a decision on a particular candidate, and that information can be massaged and spun in many different ways to influence opinions one way or another. Intelligent people will be able to read between the lines and take the information they need to make an informed decision, but the average mediocre-IQ Joe on the street will likely be much more influenced by the tone and presentation of the news they read/see/hear about, and that's where things get dangerous.

Tax cut, better immigration enforcement, better protection for our freedom such as speech, law and order, and the possibility to abolish the racist affirmative action. I don’t think I can ask for more.

Never.. I have never seen such hate and vile talk from Republicans before Obama was elected.

Give a woman the power of President? Isn't that statement by definition sexism?
