They’re just now figuring this out? I knew it before he even announced he was running...why do you think I’ve been one of the most solid Trump supporters around here since day one?

One advantage that military alumni have over those that have not served is our exposure to no nonsense leaders. We are taught leadership skills and we know them when we see them. That is why it was not hard to spot them in Trump, a no holds bar straight shooter whose everyday objective is winning, a man who by his actions commands everyone to notice his presence. Now, the slow on the uptake are starting to pick up on those leadership traits.

He comes from money but at least he’s not a self-serving silver spoon self-entitled lawyer who does nothing but bilk the system and steal more and more from the American taxpayer while chastising about how bad they are. He’s actually trying to come up with solutions to our problems. How could you not respect that?

“No more fake news.”......

It will be very interesting to see who of the media whores survive Trump. Former VP Cheney already made it clear to the media when he said, “We don’t need you anymore”. Profound and TRUE, we don’t!

Trump is a reset button...With him at the helm, we have a CHANCE to make sure that “business as usual” dies a painful death.

One of the finest MSM tributes to Trump’s skill we’ve seen in a year and half.

...[Trump won't] be blinded by allure of power, money or women the enemy would tempt him with...

And how different from Obama!

Look at all the expensive international vacations that the Obamas went on using Air Force One. Look at all the golf and travels to Hollywood.

Better yet, think how Obama has set up his own Clinton Foundation-like foundation -- paving the way for his post-POTUS global charity-to-his-own-pocket mission to Kenya and Morocco that he set up with massive infusions --hundreds of millions of dollars -- to these countries.

Obama and Michelle playing King and Queen.

President-elect Trump may not have a popular vote mandate...

In point of fact, he does have a popular vote mandate, OUTSIDE THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

Right now, Hillary! leads in the popular vote count by about 2.3 million votes. Of those 2.3 million, 4.5 million are from CA. If CA is taken out of the mix, Trump leads the popular vote by 2.2 million.

In other words, Hillary! won the popular vote in CA, and Trump won the overall popular vote in the other 49 states.

He absolutely does, Trump won 3,084 of America's 3,141 counties. Hillary Clinton won just 57.

So, the lying/cheating/thieving big-city filth think they get to choose our presidents?...Ska-rew that!

Same here.

I totally agree with your reasons and I have a few more of my own.

3. He’s not Hitlery! (my #1 reason)
4. He’s not a professional politician.
5. He’s not a lawyer.
6. He says what he thinks and doesn’t worry about being PC.
7. He’s not bought and paid for and beholden to special interests.

Wow. You penned a master piece, here.

I believe it is the priority of and the high esteem for “social engineering”, over the task of learning, that has been thought the ticket to building a socialist consensus for globalist views.

The stinking Common Core was the final test, to determine if the shaping process of the American student had been fulfilled.

Only one thing. The test was for us, the parents! How much would we tolerate of this academic re-education and pathetic experimentation on our kids.

We were all stuck out there in the work force and had no time or ability to remove our kids from the heavy handed operatives running the curriculum and developing little mules for cementing a globalist world view and guaranteeing a redistribution of talent and treasure. (Mostly treasure.)

I will stop there. It gets pretty damn dark after this point anyway. Motivations are another chapter.

The baby boomers may have left a decent legacy after all. We neglected classical education and attending school board meetings and set ourselves adrift from what was happening, but when we woke up, we recognized the road to totalitarianism is through our kids and we started fighting back in the 80’s, incrementally.

By the grace of God, so did a few of our kids, who became parents themselves and soon tired of their own kids collapsing in tears over gobbledygook homework and noticing also that textbooks that could no longer be brought home for parents to peruse.
