I take this election personally [Sad Violin Music]
Boston Globe ^ | November 18, 2016 | Nancy Gertner

Posted on 11/19/2016 5:23:38 AM PST by C19fan

I take the election of Donald Trump personally not just because my candidate, Hillary Clinton, lost. I take this election personally not because Clinton was a dear friend, a classmate at Yale Law School. I take this election personally not just because it feels like the last best chance for someone of my generation — who fought the wars of Second Wave feminism — to break that final glass ceiling in national politics. I take this election personally because of how Trump won and what it legitimized. He won despite comments demeaning women in general, and Clinton in particular. He won after demonizing Muslims, immigrants, and black people. This is “just talk,’ some may say — not what he really felt. Or better yet, others will dismiss this as being “politically correct,” code for “don’t take it seriously.”

It’s not personal. It’s business.

HOORAY Mr. Donald J. Trump. Thank you, sir.

The sounds of liberals crying is music. Their tears make my AR-15 shoot better. Their fear makes my fuel-gulping Mustang run faster.

I take this election personally because Trump took all the PC-type liberal attacks the left has flung around for years and shoved them right back down their throats. I take this election personally because we are watching the liberals do when Hillary lost what they said we were going to do when Trump lost. I take this election personally because the rule of law will finally be enforced by the AG and the Justice Department. And I take this election personally because every time a snowflake goes on a tantrum, I get a wry grin on my face.

Of course she would NEVER acknowledge any of Hillary’s crimes against humanity. Nor would she believe anything other than lies and distortions about Trump. The lady is a twisted mess.

When Hillary called Trump supporters deplorable, she was also calling, women and minorities that supported Trump names as well. These people need to wake up...

Second Wave Feminism?
What is that?
You mean there was another world war named
Second Wave Feminism?
I'm sorry, I must have slept through it!
What a silly woman. So full of herself.

Trump won BECAUSE he demeaned people who deserve demeaning.

He won BECAUSE he stated the fact that Hillary IS A crook.

This is all you need to know about this aged zealot:

1993: On October 27, 1993, on the recommendations of Senators Ted Kennedy and John Kerry, Gertner was nominated to the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts by President Bill Clinton to a seat vacated by A. David Mazzone
