Thanks to Trump, America Dodged the Bullet
American Thinker ^ | Nov. 11 2016 | J.R. Dunn

It may well be true that Donald Trump has made his greatest contribution to the nation before even taking office: the political destruction of Hillary Clinton and her infinitely corrupt machine.

It’s difficult to grasp how much damage Clinton and her cronies would have inflicted on this country had she been elected.

It is not going too far to state that there is scarcely a single genuine act of magnanimity, of kindness, or of simple decency in Hillary Clinton’s record.

It’s even evident in her looks, which are enough to arouse anxiety in any healthy viewer. The near-demented glare, the coldness, the frown lines etched by decades of sneers – Clinton was everyone’s nightmare stepmother, vicious teacher, manipulative coworker or boss.

We have Donald Trump to thank for this, if he accomplishes only two things – reversing the immigration trend and saving the Supreme Court – that will be plenty.

Because he has already fulfilled his great historical achievement – saving the United States from falling into the hands of a political banshee. That’s enough for any man.

The fact still remains that 60,000,000 voted for the criminal.

I don’t mind that they didn’t vote for Trump. But, in a sane world, the popular vote should have been Trump 59 mil to 0 mil, as 60 mil that would have, stayed home rather than vote for a treasonous felonious liar.

There is MUCH work to do to try to start righting some of what Obama has dismantled and destroyed. But the left never sleeps. They are gearing up for 2018/2020, and they will continue to undermine, distort, and lie about the right all along the way.

I heard on the San Francisco Street that now that he is president, Trump will file an amended return for a refund /s

Loved this cogent article. Having a morbid curiosity about how the Leftists at MSNBC are taking the Trump victory, we tuned in this AM. They are blaming the Dem establishment for running Hillary instead of their “outsider,” Bernie. Hillarious!
Oh, and they are planning to try to convince their Republican relatives that “we all want the same things” and Trump ought to compromise with Dems for the common good. My suggestion if you have that situation in your family is to tell them you have diarrhea and can’t come.

"Even if Obama pardons her they are forever tarnished."

You know, I'm actually coming around to the viewpoint that I hope Obama does pardon her. A pardon is an admission to committing crimes in of itself and people will be outraged at Obama for doing it going out the door.

This is the important part, by going after Clinton, Trump will have to spend valuable political capital at the beginning of his administration. This is political capital needed to get the business of America done, not on a has been that will not bother us anymore. Let's not spend an instant on this has been hag. Lets spend it on getting a solid conservative confirmed to the supreme court, rolling back Obama's executive actions, repeal and replace Obamacare, tax reform, immigration reform and the list goes on. We need to make America great again, not waste time on the Clintons.

Pray the incoming Attorney General will have the backbone to prosecute those who were exposed by WIKILEAKS and JAMES O’KEEFE. If they aren’t brought to justice, things will not change.

"I thought we were rid of them after Bill left office."

What made you think that? Hillary won her senate seat when Bush won the Presidency. Everyone at that time knew that was just a stopover on her way to the Presidency. She served one term, got out in 2006 to prepare for her Presidential run in 2008. No, this is it. He can't run, she'll be 73 or so for the next round and it is truly not in the greatest of health. Unless you think Chelsea is going to run, they are done. I'm interested in seeing how their "charity" collapses now that there is no longer any pay to play angle to it.

Everyone is talking abut Obama pardoning Hillary, but never Bill. Yet Bill is in this just as deep as she is, and Obama isn’t being asked about pardoning Bill, or Chelsea. There is more than one way to sink the ship Clinton publicly.

If he gets the Supreme Court right and the immigration issues right...I will take whatever else he does even if I don’t like it.

Me too. All I wanted from Trump was for him to protect the 2nd amendment and get the SCOTUS aligned properly. Everything else is gravy. Deep brown, beefy, savory gravy with garlic, onions and giblets.

Even though Hilkary got the Senate, I considered it more of a “parting gift.” Never took her seriously - still don’t. Apprantly neither does the Country.
No, I don’t think our Nation is that far down the rabbit hole to consider Chelsea, but hey, we did manage to elect a community organizing choom gang member.

Don’t Pardon Hillary but jail her.

If Hillary gets a pardon with current immigration laws she will have 8 million more voters in 4 years then she will be unstoppable. Jail her now while we have a chance and change the 1965 immigration act so President Trump can win a 2nd term.

I second this. As I wrote this morning, I am thankful he kicked a** on 11/8, and anything afterward is simply a bonus.

October was tough to bear.

Every single day the Media was blaring about Hillary’s 8, 10, 12 point lead, more of Trump’s alleged flaws while totally ignoring Hillary’s, and crowing about how great things would be once Hillary took power.

It was really depressing. Yeah, I know, there were lots on FR saying saying keep the faith, we’re gonna win, but the same things were said in 2012 too. For a long while I had the same sickening feeling that I had in 2008, that “the voters aren’t really going to put this idiot in office, are they?”

So election night was a chance to breathe again, needless to say, and I’ve crammed about a whole month’s-worth of missed FR surfing into the last 3 days.

Instead, now the leftists get to feel the same way we did in November 2008.
