I awoke at 4 a.m. I looked at the ceiling and said to myself, “Did I really see that? Did he really win?” Being on the Left Coast it was easy to stay up to see Donald Trump declared President-Elect of the United States. Ms. Clinton had called and conceded and Pennsylvania had been universally declared as another brick gone from the blue wall.
I am writing this on an airplane en route out of the country on Wednesday morning. My wife and I are on a mini-vacation to serve two purposes. First, to relax after this brutal election. Second to incite all those insipid celebrities into actually keeping their promise that they would leave the country if Trump won.
Who would have thought that, within a scant week, the Cubs win a World Series and the Clintons are sent into political oblivion? Too bad the people of Chicago cannot enjoy both.
Mrs. Clinton gave a first-class concession speech. She needs to give one more to tell the people marching and whining about Trump winning to act with the same level class she displayed. It is despairing to see the words used like disaster, hopeless, depressed, appalled, embarrassed by those who did not want Trump. On the way to our resort a young couple from Boston was in the van with us. Their reaction was they were scared. My simple statement was “This is the United States of America; there is nothing to be scared about.”p>There are so many thoughts that come to mind about this election that I can only list them in a stream of consciousness.
I am choking as I am writing this and you may choke as you read it, but Trump should put a stake into the heart of any investigation into the Clintons. Sure they will get away with it again and walk away with their $100 million of graft, but for the sake of the country we need to move forward and make America great again. Let these grifters fade into oblivion. I thought about making a deal with them to shut down the Clinton Foundation, but no one will contribute to it anyway since they cannot buy influence.
The only recriminations should be against the pseudo-journalists outed in the emails from WikiLeaks that worked with the Clintons behind the scenes scheming to fix things against her primary opponents and Trump. People like John Harwood should be fired. At the very least, you should not endorse their behavior by watching or reading them. The fact they are not fired is a statement of the quality of the operations for which they work. This kind of behavior is destructive to the First Amendment and the freedom of the Press.
Donna Brazile should be drummed out of politics. Is it any surprise she stated her conscience is clear after being caught providing debate questions from her employer (CNN) to the Clinton campaign? As I have written before, they never have remorse because they believe the ends justify the means. The Democrats should have the brains to get rid of her from the DNC.
The first things for the Trump Administration:
That should be a fine start.
Mr. Trump’s first choice for his administration has been a stellar one – Governor Mike Pence. I had liked Pence before, but his performance during this campaign has made me proud to be a Republican. He radiates competence. Hopefully, Trump will 1) Use him to the fullest extent possible and 2) match his choice of him with picking his cabinet and top staff people.
Ms. Clinton lost the election for one overriding reason: She offered no vision for America. Stronger Together was mush and it never got any better.
Did you notice for the most part where Clinton won a state she won with ridiculous percentages? In D.C. Trump got 4% to her 93%. In California he lost by 28%. This is because the Left is all moving into little enclaves and huddling together. Or, like in California, all the sane people (except my family and some friends) have been driven out. This election the people voted even more taxes on themselves because having the highest tax rates and seeing businesses flee to Trump states does not bother them. Or they are just oblivious to what is happening.
I cannot tell you how frequently I inform people living in their own universe in the tony areas of my state that California has the highest poverty rate in the nation. They respond saying “since we have more people” and then I inform them that we have the highest percentage. Then they say it is because of the high cost of living and I tell them that is adjusted for cost of living. The Left ignores the high poverty rate when pitching California as a “progressive” paradise.
I will remind you if you are still wondering where Trump came from, it was Obama. He put forth a radical agenda and a health care bill this country did not want and turned the country against the Democrats. He never got anyone elected other than himself and crippled the down ballot Democrats. The people saw what happens when the Left is in charge and rejected it before we continued down the slope that destroyed a once vibrant Venezuela.
Despite a media that constantly drumbeats for the Left and an educational system that brainwashes our children with their Leftist mumbo-jumbo, this is still a Republican country. While friends from the both sides of the aisle would talk about Democrats being in charge it was only because of Obama. Republicans controlled the House and Senate, the governorships and state legislatures. Now they have the presidency.
For the first time since 1928 Republicans have The White House and both houses of Congress. It is incumbent upon them to show that they can rule and do so responsibly. Starting with the agenda above would be a grand way to go.
There will be a time soon for a woman to become president of our country. Ms. Clinton just was not the one.
Wasn’t Obama our first female president?
Finally! we have a first lady !!! i hated these last 8 years without a first lady!!!
No reason to abandon the investigation into the Clintons and their foundation.

I had to check because I had no idea who this bloviator is or why he thinks anyone should care what he thinks:

OK then. One more country heard from. Looking forward to the day when everyone who thinks their stream of consciousnes must be shared with the universe will have purged themselves.

NO! NO! NO!
It is the death of the Republic to allow a political couple to set the example that accepting hundreds of millions of dollars from foreign donors while in office, is acceptable.
A stake has to be driven through the heart of this practice by the Clintons or it will be copied by many other politicians, and it will be foreign governments that rule our country.
The author is 100% wrong on this.
The Clintons are not going quietly into the night. Now that they have partnered with George Soros to establish the Purple Revolution movement, they are aiming for destabilizing society and promoting violent revolution. This is another of the color revolution movements that Soros has founded and has gotten so many people killed.
There are tons of reasons to not abandon the investigation.
Democrats just plain make up crap to prosecute their political opponents using the Justice system.
We either are a nation that abides by the Rule of Law, or we become no better than them
This is not the first time I've seen this statistic. Did I miss something? Seems to me George W. had all of congress too.
Yep
“Finally! we have a first lady !!! i hated these last 8 years without a first lady!!!”
But, but a First Wookie with an insatiable appetite for taxpayers’ money is much more entertaining.
Don’t forget the barking Mother-in-law - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2586367/Beijing-hotel-workers-fed-Obama-entourage-3400-square-foot-8-350-night-suite-inconveniencing-pretty-ladys-mother-barking-staff.html
I knew that Donald Trump would win the election when the Chicago Cubs won the World Series
How long before the Clintons flee the country?
Yes, in much the same way Bubba was our first black president.

If they aren’t held accountable then it will be a final demonstration that crime does pay, some people are above the law, and that the system is rigged.
Notice that the wall isn’t mentioned in the list of first things to do. Imagine that.
I completely disagree with not investigating and prosecuting Hillary.
Bush’s failure to do that to Clinton just emboldened Obama and gang to do whatever the hell they wanted to do and it allowed Bill and Hillary do set up that scam known as the Clinton Foundation and to in turn compromise national security with that server and other actions.
