Evey life has challenges and to not think so, is wrong. Even the most cozened and cosseted have problems and yes, times that challenge them in one way or another.

My wife gives presentations and creates incredible displays honoring veterans. One time a lady came up to her at an event where she had set up a large display and asked her what terrible thing had happened to her to cause her to be so driven. My wife was taken aback and didn't know how to respond... one of the very few times I have seen her unable to respond. But afterward we both realized that the question was a direct hit. My wife faced incredible hardship in her life from the time she was a small child.

Some people face incredible challenges and many others think that they have. And I will be the first to admit that despite surviving numerous close calls that I have not faced the challenges many that others have. That was not the point I was trying to make. In this country especially if you are lucky you can have a good long life and never face any major challenges. But, you don't get a ribbon for participation when you have lived 80 or 90 years and never done anything to challenge yourself.

You don't remember or know anything about when Mr. Nixon was elected, I guess. Oh well.....

Of course I can remember when Nixon was elected both times, and I felt that it was a very sad day when he resigned. You wanted to understand why people keep saying this was the best election ever. I tried to explain it to you... it is because Trump faced great challenges and won. He came from the outside and won. He is still facing incredible challenges and he is still fighting and still winning. Lets thank the media, the Obama, Hillary, the Never-Trumpers, the Bushes, McCain and Graham. If you want to continue fretting and worrying about the bad things that are still going on, that is your business. But this is the BEST ELECTION EVER and it is because of the challenges and the idiots creating them.

You explained NOTHING, patted yourself on the back, with both hands, so hard, you broke your arms, and still don't understand that Trump and we haven't "won" much at all...yet; nor why I mentioned Mr. Nixon ( I suggest that you a "good" bio of him/his life )or why that meme is stupid and ridiculous.

What one person can cope with, others can't. It doesn't make the person, who hits a wall and then makes it through, any less than the person who doesn't see whatever that is, as a "challenge".

We are talking at cross purposes, because you and admittedly a few others, can't or refuse to see the point I've been trying to make. So lets just leave it at...it's far too early to claim a "win" AND talking about "THE BEST ELECTION EVER" ( WHICH IT MOST ASSUREDLY ISN'T AND STUPID TO KEEP CLAIMING THAT, POST ELECTION, EARLY INTO TRUMP'S FIRST TERM! )at this point in time. Nobody knows what is to follow, nor whether or not Trump manages to persevere.

Okay?
