Donald Trump, the real estate mogul mocked and minimized by the media and political establishment, has stunned the world with a death-defying campaign that has captured the presidency.
The real estate mogul, mocked and minimized by many in the media and criticized by his own party’s establishment, wound up doing far more than avoiding the landslide loss that so many prognosticators predicted after the conventions. The man who had never run for public office, who had supposedly alienated so many women and minorities that he had no serious chance, somehow captured the highest office in the land.
It was not until 2:30 am that first the AP, then the Washington Post and Wall Street Journal, then Fox News, declared Trump to be the 45th president.
There was a sense of disbelief, even shock, among journalists on and off the air as states like Ohio, North Carolina and Florida fell into the Trump column and Clinton failed to put away the big blue Midwestern states. Once Trump was within 54 electoral votes of winning the White House, the entire conversation changed:
How did Trump do this?
How could Clinton have blown this?
How could we have missed this?
How would this guy govern?
Some media figures lashed out on Twitter. ABC's Martha Raddatz choked back tears as she discussed the Trump presidency.
It was a version of what has gone on since the billionaire came down the Trump Tower escalator last year, when he was treated as an entertaining figure but not as a plausible president. The Huffington Post was less than gracious at the end: "Nightmare: President Trump."
The mainstream media mindset was clear going into Tuesday--“Trump Hopes for a Miracle,” Politico declared—and few believed he would carry the half-dozen states that would get him to the magic 270.

I hope Trump starts blackballing so called MSM journalists who are hacks for the Democrats.
All he has to do is require ANYONE with a Press Pass to the White House declare UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY, that they have NEVER LIED to Or Misrepresented ANY FACTS to the American People.
MOST OF THEM WILL BE GONE!!!
Democrats via media have done more to divide this country...Shame on them.
Not just media and establishment, but massive fraud as well.
Let us not waste our time or energy in giving these people, the media and the left any more attention. They do not deserve it.
It is morning in America again. There are things to plan. Soon we can unleash our energy towards righting this great vessel with President Elect Trump.

Step aside, Doug Flutie & Gerard Phalen. Step aside, Terry Bradshaw & Franco Harris. We now have the Immaculate Election at the top of the heap.
Electing trump was just the first step. The major battles are still to be determined. The establishment/media complex still controls most of the levers of power (the swamp).
At 11 pm, CNN calls California for Hillary. (A moot point really, as CNN had been showing great concern the way the Rust Belt was going.)
Wolf Blitzer: "A HUGE win for Hillary in California!... she in now ahead!... she has now gone AHEAD in the electoral count!"
Wolf (to Jake Tapper): "Can Hillary breathe easier now?!"
Tapper: "No."
Yes. And for now, please continue praying for the safety and well-being of President-Elect Donald Trump, Vice-President Elect Mike Pence, and their families as they head to the Inauguration.
Poor Wolfie...he was trying to hang on to every last glimmer of hope..
The Headline of the Day predicts on November 8, 2016 Donald J Trump will win in a landslide.
That’s a great idea!
Sounds like a good idea to me
Michael Moore nailed it perfectly. Better than MSM, Hannity, Rush, me, you. Went down exactly as he said. I still tear up watching his unofficial Tump ad.
