We Stopped Hillary

Well, that could have gone a lot worse.

In the wake of Hillary’s massive, unequivocal, humiliating rejection, I was going to write this column on the critical need for us conservatives to have a big group hug and restore the shattered bonds that should unite us, whether #NeverTrump, #NeverHillary or #IHateEveryone. But that can wait. Right now, I have some savoring to do. Let’s see, we have the executive branch, the legislative branch and we’ll be taking back the judicial branch. The mainstream media is in a state of shock. Liberals are having fits. And the ocean is still rising, as one of my Twitter followers observed, only it’s because of liberal tears.

Tuesday was a good day for everything awesome in America except for my book series. Then again, maybe not. With the #NotMyPresident hashtag happening among devastated millennials who, for the first time in their bubble-wrapped lives got told “No,” maybe they’ll be the ones demanding succession from that hateful, racists, sexist, imperialist, transphobic, and racist big red blob between the liberal cities called “America.”

Don’t worry, libs. California still seems eager to buck the trend and stick with stupid. You can all come out here to slake your thirst for socialist failure, slowly paying off that gender studies degree getting me my dry cleaning as part of your career doing Task Rabbit gigs.Or, maybe, just maybe, someday you’ll be able to get a decent job that will let you support a family like your parents (or, really, their parents) had. But you’ll have to forgo the palm trees and random Amy Schumer sightings in Santa Monica.

I could take this opportunity to extend my hand to my liberal co-citizens and the non-citizens they wanted to just hand the gift of citizenship in return for the implicit promise to vote for whichever corrupt leftist the Democrats decided to wheel out on a Hannibal Lector handcart. But no. That can wait too – for now, the only thing I’m extending is my middle finger.

You built this. Now suck on it.

You jerks thought we normals were terrible and stupid when you thought of us at all. How do you like us now? Are you worried that an unfriendly executive branch might unleash its dogs at the, say, IRS upon you? That bureaucrats might destroy the entire industry that you work in, that supports your family, to satisfy the whims of the regime’s ideology? That the government is heading toward the time when it might send armed federal agents to your house to arrest you for exercising your constitutional rights?

Welcome to the last eight years as a normal.

Not so big on unlimited executive power anymore, are you? Seeing how maybe those Dead White Cis-Het Males with funny wigs back in olden times might have had a point?

Well, you need to do a little sweating, a little worrying. Fear is the teacher, and class is in session. Maybe you’ll learn something. Maybe you’ll stand up for what’s right the next time your side is honored with America’s steering wheel and some leftist serpent starts hissing that you should throw all that due process and Bill of Rights stuff out the window in the name of progressive expedience.

How’s it feel with the Doc Marten on the other foot?

But I doubt you’ll learn. You’re kind of dumb, and you tend to sniff along behind aspiring fascists. So we’ll still keep buying guns and ammo at record rates, thank you very much, because we doubt you’ll learn anything about the rule of law from your time wondering if you can rely on it.

Heck, if we had any money after eight years of that creased-pants joke’s misrule, we’d use the stock market panic dip as a buying opportunity for loading up on otherwise skyrocketing gun company stocks. Oh, and also shares of whoever makes Crown Royal– I hear that’s Hillary’s booze of choice.

There’s more good news. For at least the next four years we’ll see a renewed interest in that quaint concept called “checks and balances.” Watch for Donald Trump – excuse me, President Donald Trump – to be the most checked and balanced chief exec ever. And that’s terrific.

Oh, and the media will re-discover curiosity about governmental misconduct and inefficiency again – once the collective weeping ends. Watching their faces collapse like the Nazis in Raiders of the Lost Ark when President-elect Donald Trump crossed 270 was one of the great moments of my life. Their collective pain is our collective joy. And they have a long time and a lot of hard work ahead if they hope to ever regain our trust – but, of course, I have zero confidence that they even understand how completely they have destroyed their own credibility. A few professional journalists knew what was coming – Salena Zito saw what was happening because she left the comfortable cities and went out to actually talk to the people who just shocked the world. Any media outlet interested in actually covering America should swoop her up.

Back to savoring.

We rejected corruption. We rejected the elites who hold us in contempt. We rejected the political correctness and its posse of lies that was designed to silence us, to make us kneel, bow and obey. We stopped politely asking for respect – we took it. And there’s nothing you can do about it.

We are the majority – at least of electoral votes, suckers – and we are awake. This election shows that we are no longer going to be silent.

Yeah, that could have gone a lot worse.

We Stopped Hillary.

Better yet, we finally stopped the Clinton Dynasty! Once and for all. For those of us that lived through the 1990's it seemed like they could get away with murder and were completely untouchable, the public just didn't seem to care. Even when Bill finally left office they never disappeared. New York gave Hillary a Senate Seat and she started campaigning for the presidency on day one, they made no secret about their plans to get back in power. Even when she lost the nomination in 2008, it was little consolation because WE hadn't beaten the Clintons and it did little to slow them down as Hillary was soon back in power as Secretary of State and made it obvious that she was Obama's successor in waiting.

But on Tuesday, after 24 LONG years. We finally put a stake through the heart of the Clintons. The Clinton Dynasty is dead! Hillary is far too old and sickly to ever consider running for office again and the democrats would probably never have her. Instead of chasing interns down the halls of the Whitehouse, Bill will spend the remainder of his days sitting in Chappaqua dreaming of what might have been. And Chelsea. Seriously? She has no political future, at 36 she speaks and dresses like a teenager. She didn't inherit either Bills oily charm or even Hillary's ruthless ambition and has shown no interest in politics. My guess is she will take her ill gotten Clinton foundation money and retire to a tropical island.

Bill Clinton never got a majority, either.

Apologies, should have been clearer. My 50% comment was based on Rep/Dem voters. 59.938 million went Democrat where 59.704 million went Republican.

They try to make hay out of the popular vote, so it's a good counterpoint to say no Clinton ever got a majority.

He only got 43% in 1992.

At least one million of Hillary’s voters were illegal immigrants.

I truly hope that’s the end of the Clintons.

I get the sense that Chelsea is a bit of a doofus, but I don’t really know.

Concur. Possibly even higher.

Thank the Lord. Praise be to God.

Stopping Hillary was nothing short of a miracle. I was bracing myself for a coming 8 years of having to quickly change channels to avoid seeing here sour prune face and hearing here chalk-board screeching voice on TV. I was resigned to seeing her complete the destruction of America that the First Marxist Muslim began.

Turning on a dime, we not have a president who will reverse everything Obama did and then some. Trump is indefatigable. He will be tireless at accomplishing most of what he said he will and certainly all of the most important items. The GOP-e has no chance to stop him or slow him down. If he can’t drag them along with him, he will steamroll over the top of them with public opinion generated from the bully pulpit.

Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ. Please keep Trump safe the next 8 years and please don’t let any of the assassination attempts work. Please keep him from harm and foul the plans of his assassins.
