Eight years ago, we felt pretty dejected. I mean, we had to vote through clenched teeth but Obama beat Romney anyway. How could this happen, Lord? Four more years...we are DOOMED. Not just that, but we had NOBODY on the horizon to defeat the DNC. The Tea Party wasn't on the ascent. It looked really bleak.
If THAT wasn't bad enough, in 2015 it looked like our chief hope against Hillary was this guy.
Did you just get horrible flashbacks? Me, too.
Then, this happened...
...but even THEN we weren't sold. He's a Manhattan RINO. A blowhard. He's doing this for fun, to pump up his business holdings. He's on his third wife.
Hillary will be the end of us.
Jeb! is leading in the polls. Then a funny thing happened...Trump starts talking like a leader...a winner, someone who wants to MAGA. Then, after a speech in Las Vegas on July 11, 2015, looky what happened,..
And the ascent began,
But we STILL weren't in the clear. Billy Bush tape, MSM, polling...but then, we got a miracle.
Trump's aggregate winning margin in MI, WI and PA of 77,744 votes was 0.057% of the total popular vote, in line with Carter and Truman's wins. (btw, Biden's official margin* of 42,918 votes across AZ, WI, and GA was 0.027% of the total popular vote*, akin to Kennedy and the fourth closest since Reconstruction...even their CHEATING is demented.) All Hillary needed to do was flip half of those votes and she'd be the president.
That is VERY close...perhaps...miraculous? He's probably sick of me repeating this, but SamAdams76 wins the grand prize for Best Quote About Trump's 2016 Win: "I went to bed November 8, 2016 like I had terminal cancer, and woke up November 9, 2016 like I was in full remission."
"Thank God" is an overused phrase, but here I believe it is completely applicable. Trump gave Americans back hope, and arguable God gave us Trump. Maybe, just maybe, this disappointment is akin to the disappoint circa January 2013, when there was great weeping and gnashing of teeth. God let Obama win, but maybe without that win we'd have never gotten Trump. Similarly, Biden's win* is likely a catalyst for change, like advertisers not going woke during the Super Bowl out of fear of Deplorables, and weaponized day traders taking down hedge funds.
Let us take this time time to regroup. There is evidence that God is in control. He works on His timeline. Let's do our part.
