Trump Wins - One American's Perspective

Trump Won Last Night and I thought I would provide some perspective from someone that took part.

Firstly - the USA is a Center Right Nation and the voting showed that last night. We are not Alt-Right or Hard Right, but we are clearly Right of Center. None of the Center Left or Left leaning changes that have occurred over the past 6 years were democratically enacted. Those changes were either Executive Orders, Judicially Directed, or enacted during the first 2 years of Obama when the Democratic/Left controlled both houses of Congress.

Secondly - The election numbers are coming in but this appears to be an all time record of votes. Higher than even Obama's first election. This is most likely due to the "Silent Majority" of people that became so disaffected by a non-responsive Govt that they dropped out of voting - but returned this time to vote for an outsider

Thirdly - the Cabal of Main Stream Media, Pollsters, and Election Planners is not dead - but they are severely wounded. They have shown that the groups that they supposedly market to or control (maybe one and the same) are no longer under their thumb. They have lost their power to sway or push/predict - which dramatically decreases their value.

Fourth - The Republican party survived but barely. An outsider that they did not want, and did not support, took the reigns and rode to victory. He did so by bringing in previously untapped voters (either new votes or dormant votes). If they attempt to continue business in the same old way, they will fall. I expect many are already falling (probably looking to retire in the next 2-4 years).

Fifth - No one likes a cheat, especially a corrupt cheat. Except for partisans that will vote their party regardless, Hillary was viewed as a corrupt lying cheat (or some combination of those three words) and was rebuked.

Sixth - Just like Brexit for you all, currently the DOW and the Dollar are dropping but will almost certainly be far less painful than all the doomsayers forecast.

Seventh - our Supreme court will remain Center Right Balanced with a respect for the Constitution. Attempts to move it to Center Left have been halted.

Eight - This was also a repudiation of 8 years of Obama. He promised change, which we got, but did not deliver prosperity. When the economy was #1 he enacted a slew of social leftwing proposals/events. He was always more hype than substance (for example - A Nobel Peace prize for Taking Office - not for doing anything, but basically for being "Not Bush") and the people have repudiated him. He spent the last week or two rallying the faithful and putting out more for Hillary than any other previous president (he crossed a lot of lines that most presidents had not crossed in lobbying for a successor).

Ninth - The people also spoke by leaving the Senate (our Upper House) in the hands of the Republicans. Even if Hillary had been elected, this would have severely limited her power. According to the Media this was the going to be the year the Senate returned to the Democrats because they had so many fewer seats to defend.

Lastly - In case you want to know - Yes I did vote for Trump, very very reluctantly. He is very much an imperfect man and we will probably have some diplomatic gaffes of epic proportions, but at the end of the day he was the lesser of two evils.
 
Interesting. Would you mind if I quote it elsewhere?

I'd like to be a fly on the wall when Trump meets Barry to take the reins.

A typical media lie about Trump.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-34903577

10. Muslims should not be admitted to the US. In a press release published in the wake of the terrorist attacks in San Bernardino, California, Trump wrote that he is "calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on". The release created a huge backlash, including a petition submitted to British Parliament demanding that Trump not be allowed into the country. He's since gone back on the announcement, instead saying that he would put in place "extreme vetting" for anyone wishing to immigrate to the US.

Since he said this, Trump has been almost universally quoted as only saying that Muslims should not be admitted to the USA. I do not think I have seen in any media article on this that has included the words "...until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on". Interestingly, even though those words are printed in this article it is angled as if they don't exist. Saying he would put in place 'extreme vetting' doesn't contradict his initial full statement and so does not go back on anything.
 
Spoke to 8 people in NYC this morning 6 voted Trump. All work on Wall Street with ethnically diverse backgrounds. Like you say Trump beat the Republican Party, Hilary and the left.
 
He may yet of course scupper himself with a sordid pussy-grabbing episode...

Let he who has not sinned and all that!!!! Seriously, can you honestly say that you have not said things in private company that, if put in the public domain, would paint you as some sort of horrific monster in this uber PC world we unfortunately live in...

Unless one has been a deaf, mute, monk with a vow of silence and have been since birth, I don't think any of us would stand up to 'locker room' scrutiny... It was a private conversation and shouldn't have been recorded, nor should it have been aired... it was a monumentally hypocritical media story!

Personally, I don't have a problem with what he said, he is a bloke after all and us blokes, after a few sherberts or in locker rooms can say some quite astonishingly bad taste things... Try going to a rugby club night out!
 
Not badly enough for him, amazingly. Seriously, you're OK with that?
Jeeze what a bed wetter, of course I'm ok with that I understand the context (which bed wetters refuse to acknowledge).
It was demonrats just trying to use locker-room talk against him - end of.
Red blooded males (not namby pamby pinkos) understand such talk.
I just do not care if you have issue with such talk, it just tells me what kind of a man you are.

Bloody hell, being called a dick earlier on in another thread is looking quite friendly in retrospect! But OK, fine, you and Trump are much more manly than me. I'm off to play with my dollies for a bit, He-Man.
 
Not entirely sure that you are man enough to be called a dick....

I'm not really sure I understand where you're going with this. I mean Trump isn't just the president for cowboys, construction workers and other members of the Village People. He's supposed to be the president for the fifty percent of the US electorate who don't have penises and beards too, right? And amongst the dickbearing electorate, presumably a lot of voters know and like quite a lot of women too, right? And all of these people would be perfectly justified in being offended by his casual talk of pussy grabbing and general well-documented mysogyny. Yes some men talk like that sometimes to let off steam or proclaim their manliness. And then very often give up when they stop being teenagers.
