There probably isn't one particular thing that paved the way for a billionaire businessman-turned-reality TV star with no government experience to become the next president of the United States.
But reporters and political commentators took turns pointing to nearly every possible lead to explain what "created" Donald Trump: the Tea Party, CNN, talk radio, the Republican Party and the Left, among them.
Perhaps most notable was the blame placed on voters for exercising their right to select the next leader.
Here are nine times, in no particular order, the national media blamed the voters for Trump's rise to the White House....

And every time proving how out of touch they were with American voters.
Bigotry against conservative thought is the Lefts mental illness,

The New York Times' Frank Bruni said in May that he wouldn't even discuss politics with his family and friends who support Trump: "I have many relatives who loyally vote Republican, regardless of their excitement about the particular nominee. There's a definite chance that some of them back Trump. So I steer clear of talk about this election, though we've spoken plenty — and placidly — about every other election," wrote Bruni. "One of these relatives routinely pushes back at any Trump-negative columns I write, and I've convinced myself that he's just baiting me and playing devil's advocate. I've never said to him, point blank, 'Are you actually voting for Trump?' And I won't. It's my goal to get to and through Election Day without learning the truth."
Frank Bruni was highly successful in avoiding the truth.
Some silly bitch at huffplop added this one:
“I am ashamed of white people. But more than anyone else, I am ashamed of white women. Is this who we really are? Clearly and it is who we (racist, xenophobic, misogynistic) have always been.”
It’s amazing how deluded these people are. They’re an important lesson in history. While they claimed that Trump was literally Hitler, they blanketed themselves in propaganda to support causes for the smartest woman in the world and they can’t even acknowledge the idea that they might have chosen an awful person to run for president. It was, after all, her turn. She deserved it. It was her time. They were with her. She was entitled.
Democrats at this point scare me. I think they’re no better than Ernst Rohm’s brownshirts. The last six months were a cacophany of hate, name calling, and violence by democrats. Now they lie about it as if it never happened.
The election proves one thing, anyway: nobody really wants a participation trophy.
