The results are in

Posting backwards (Posted this to FB first instead of allowing it to trickle over)
Donald Trump has won the Presidency of the United States of America. For many, they are sitting in stunned disbelief. Others are cheering in utter disbelief. Those who watched the polls and listened to the news for the last three months have been told that Clinton would win. A win by Trump should have been impossible, we were told by the experts it couldn't happen. They ignored the honest polls (Quinnipiac University) and instead focused on CNN or NBC guessing games. Many deluded themselves by seeing Clinton as a shining example of greatness but refused to see the reality that even her convention "win" was a disaster. You people have not only proven yourselves to be ignorant, but you have proven yourselves gullible sheep.

I won't talk about Trump's negatives right now. I just want to point out that in 2013 Clinton herself said she wanted to see Trump run for office since he was one of the most honest people she knew who had amazing integrity. Trump wasn't the perfect candidate, in fact he couldn't have won if Sanders or Webb had taken the nomination. That's right, Democrats chose their own downfall by crowning the monarch a little too early. I can say with conviction that Trump was the inevitable outcome of 30 years of globalist activism. How will he do as President? I don't know but it will be interesting to see. Congress will limit him but maybe he will bring down the Fourth Estate (The Bureaucratic Branch of government).

I was told by many of my Facebook friends that Clinton was the better choice. Clinton wasn't really as bad as the press was making her out to be. Clinton shouldn't be held to the same laws as "regular" Americans. This election was partially about the Rule of Law and America just voted that there are no people too big to jail.

I've heard celebrities and even some of my Facebook friends say they are moving to Canada if Trump wins. Well bye, I'll miss some of you. Honestly though this type of infantile posturing won't happen. 99% don't have the courage to actually follow through on their threat. This shows a general lack of integrity of those making the statements about leaving as well as a shared conviction with Harry Reid that words don't matter... lies are acceptable if it gets the results you want. I myself find this unacceptable.

Now that the media fear mongering and partisanship has proven ineffective, we may now begin to see a glimpse of reality behind the spin. This election wasn't about the candidates, it was about a vision for America. If you believe America is doing fine and going in the right direction, you voted for Clinton and are now shaken to the core. If you believe America is in trouble and our politicians are making it worse, you voted for Trump and are now surprised that so many people feel the way you do.

Congress didn't change though and won't until term limits are put in place so no matter who the President is they have limited ability to get anything done. The Supreme Court will have 3 or 4 seats filled over the next 4 years. If Clinton won she had made promises that would have changed America forever. She promised to dismantle many of the principles the country was founded on including the Bill of Rights. Trump has made promises that he will appoint judges in the mold of Scallia, who will uphold the Constitution against progressive partisanship. This is the single thing a President Trump can do that will ensure a lasting legacy even if Congress moves against him and prevents him from getting any policy goals accomplished.

Now to the elephant in the room. Democrats are now afraid that Trump will emulate saint Obama and rule by executive fiat and by simply ignoring laws he doesn't like. They won't be able to stop Trump from doing what Obama has done for 8 years, ignore laws passed by Congress and only enforce the ones he wants. They can't impeach him because Obama set a precedent, so since it has been done now it can be done by a President from either party without fear. I don't think this is a good thing. I've been saying Obama should have been impeached 4 years ago but Democrats have laughed that off by deluding themselves that they wouldn't be on the opposite end of an Enhanced President. Had Obama been impeached, Trump would have to govern instead of rule.

While I think Trump winning the Presidency may have delayed the dissolving of this country by a bit, it hasn't stopped the trend. Clinton winning would have hastened the decline by lowering the bar even further for President. Unfortunately most people will ignore the lessons this election has to offer and will try to paint it as an aberration. Those who do this are doing a disservice to themselves and the country. Now is a time for the country to stand tall and take stock from within. We have been systematically stripped of our identity by nearly 60 years of divisive leadership and a news media that has served its own agenda instead of reporting the facts. As a country we need to decide what we have in common. What binds us together as a nation. Without finding something to hold us together again, the nation will fall.

In closing I would like to ask people to stop feeling sorry for themselves or to quit gloating about a temporary win. Start looking at those you disagree with and actually engage them in discussions. Quit the lecturing of those you feel are inferior and begin to listen to those who may have absorbed wisdom. Let's learn from each other and find a way forward that everyone can be proud again. There was once a time when the decision between Presidential candidates was a simple difference of opinion. When and why did we allow it to become something more? Can we find a way to become one nation again? Can we coexist with those with whom we disagree without violence, intolerance, intimidation, or threats?
