That’s just it...the Globe writer is possibly blaming it on the joke. But it’s true that the media went all after Trump in the 16 win and nobody seemed to take him seriously even on election night...then they were shocked, shocked. The Young Turks video showing Hillary’s supposed win unraveling is a must to watch. Cenk Uygur
aka Chunk Yogurt then starts to lambaste the Dem party
for screwing things up.
It’ll happen again.
And for those who think of Trump as being dumb, here’s another SNL line, from Chevy Chase:
“If he’s so dumb, how come he’s President?”
That was referring to Jerry Ford...who never actually ran for President or even veep before getting the office because he was elevated to VP when Agnew resigned, then Nixon followed suit. (And went on to lose to the peanut farmer.) But here it can be applied to Trump who easily beat The Smartest Woman In The World.
If he’s so dumb...how come he WON?
Ford was the patsy. The east coast Republicans (aka the cabal) installed Nelson Rockefeller as the vice-president after Nixon resigned.
On Sep. 5, 1975 Squeaky Fromme attempted to assassinate Ford with a 1911 semi-auto. She failed because there wasn't a round in the chamber. Seventeen days later, Sarah Jane Moore attempted to assassinate Ford with a revolver. If either had been successful, Rockefeller would have become president with less than half a term left, and would have been eligible for two full terms.
He would not have completed even the first term, as he died after a heart attack at a townhouse with a 25 year old woman there. She got scared when he died, and waited an hour to call anyone.
