What kind of country is this?
The Washington Post ^ | November 9, 2016 | Jennifer Rubin

Posted on 11/09/2016 10:05:00 AM PST by detective

When the KKK’s favorite candidate — a man who mocks a disabled reporter, brags about sexually assaulting women, dabbles in anti-Semitic tropes and paints Mexican immigrants as “rapists” — gets elected, many of us ask rightly ask: What has become of the openhearted, tolerant, decent America so many of us were certain would reject a character like Donald Trump?

As the country awakes bleary-eyed and disoriented, we are certain that the lights will come up, the horror film will end and all will be put back to normal. The alt-right will go lick its wounds, the lying opportunists will be banished and sanity will have prevailed, right? No, not this time.

We — like just about everyone else, including the Trump campaign itself — failed to see what was coming, but perhaps we can make sense of what happened. Here goes.

Trump destroyed the Bush Dynasty, The Clinton Dynasty, The RINO’s in the republican party, PC nonsense, The liberal press, the pundents, the pollsters, and the New World Order all in one fell swoop !

And he did it with a Twitter account.

There was a despicable report on WABC radio news early last night that "a high-ranking Trump campaign official says it will take a 'miracle' to win." I think WABC got it from CNN.

It was pure propaganda to depress Trump votes.

Sure enough... She IS so rich on Twitter:

18h: Exit polls show Trump doesn’t have the temperance to be President

18h: wahahahahaha!

18h: one great thing will be no longer listening to the whining

18h: she’s comfortably up in all battle grounds. Clinton folks confident on LA

17h: Virtually tied? it’s going to be easy for HRC

17h: what the heck is she talking about?

17h: if HRC wins NH, NC, and FL turn out the lights

(silence for the rest of the night)

Heck this is about more than Making America Great Again, Trump just may make Western Civilization Great Again

I'd rather he just make it easier for us to come to G-d (preferably by facilitating the Third and Everlasting Temple).

How on earth does this anti-Semitic meme stick when his daughter converted to Judaism. This is the same daughter that is literally front and center for the entire campaign. It’s psychotic.
