When the KKKs 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.

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

#NeverTrumpers are full of chit.
Jennifer Rubin can go do with herself what she wants.
She and her cretinous ilk lost.

“We know our America well”
This is the biggest lie of all her lies. She and the punditocracy has no clue. As one of their own, Pat Caddell put it, they are “not capable of realizing that it is they who have become the adversary of the American people. And therefore they have been wrong, in this entire election cycle, every step of the way.”

Even after the electro-shock therapy that was last night, the liberal elite continue to stumble through the blindness of their self delusional bubble.
Hello in there, Jennifer. What color is the sky in your world?
