House Speaker Paul Ryan was right when he said that Donald Trump heard a voice that no one else heard.

No one else wanted to hear the voices of tens of millions screaming at the top of their lungs.

Refused to hear. There is a difference. Some are Globmunists and knew full well what was going on and did everything to deny the public of it’s pleasure of booting them out.

Paul Ryan heard our voices and ignored us. He is a New World Order George Soros open borders globalist redistributionist and MUST go as Speaker

I read early on that Trump actually had someone on his staff surfing the net for TWO years, and briefing him continuously on what issues were important to the average person, not just republicans.

For me, out-of-touch Hillary exhibited her disdain and condescension for middle America when she lacerated Donald for aiming his campaign at an America that she said "doesn't exist anymore."

The WikiLeaks emails to and from John Podesta's desk magnified the surreal world the Clintonoids live in.

(Gloat) now they're the ones living in middle-class America......

Mmmmmmm.....whatever will they all do w/ those post-graduate degrees in "Gender Identity" "Climate Change Kills," and, "All Men are Scum?"

So the Whos of Whoville elected Horton as President?

They all heard the voice alright, they just felt secure enough in their positions to willfully ignore it in the interest of their donor masters.

They never dreamed that the people could actually muster a strong enough opposition against the combined power of both entrenched party establishments.

THAT ain't gonna work... I don't care what your politics are.

They made their own little BS, ‘wannabe’ political universe... then acted and reported AS If, in fact, it WAS that way.

Not smart.

The media knew how the tea leaves read. They were paid off to lie, directly and by omission.

-- Media believes there own lies. --

I don't think they do. I believe they KNOW they are misleading and advocating. They view interaction with the public as an adversarial process, wehre the press advocates the positions it prefers, and hoopes the judge (the public) will adopt the press advocacy.

Trump is correct, the press is the most dishonest recognizable group of people in the world.

They have ignored us for years. They thought that we little folks could be controlled. History shows that to do that eventually has consequences.

Donald heard the people. Ryan hears the cash/power.

Mainstream media did not do their job, which is reporting the news. They tried to shape the election by assuming the role of Hillary’s propaganda ministry. We The People get our news from reliable sources.

The MSM goal was never in reading the tea leaves. They couldn’t care less. Their main goal was in shaping the outcome.

The ‘mass’ media was the advertising arm of the DNC... Private citizen Trump stood no chance against their government Goliath. I am still salivating over the fact that Hillry’s deleted emails got released to Congress, but Trump maintained the sanctity of his tax returns... (And no I am not calling Trump, David.)

Trump represents US and ‘we the people’ took down the giant government Goliath. 5 smooth stones.

MSM is the propaganda arm of the DNC. They don't care about truth.
