I’m very happy of course, but not that surprised.

The most surprising thing for me about Trump winning was how surprised everyone was! Anyone else feel that way?

Now, I’ll admit that around 9:00 I started to have such a sinking feeling because the MSM reporting was so down on Trump’s chances...they really had me believing he was going to lose for a while (luckily I had some people like LS here on FR to get a more positive view).

But what I’m talking about is leading up to the election - I ALWAYS assumed he was going to win even before the primaries... In fact, I was expecting a 1980’s type R landslide the whole time. If for no other reason, I just could never see how anyone could vote for Hillary Clinton.

I’m not saying I’m disappointed by 306, and being from PA, flipping PA, MI and WI was epic. But I was shocked FL was close and I thought we’d get VA and even NV and CO - I was even hoping for Illinois. I really thought we’d win the popular.

So for me it’s weird realizing how sure they were of dem victory - I had no idea (since I was mostly on FR) that they were so sure! I thought they were realizing what a terrible candidate she was - on the verge of being indicted or stroking out or going into rehab or whatever.

But now, looking at these video montages of the talking heads saying she’s winning in a landslide and Trump can’t possibly win - I’m realizing this was a big upset in their eyes.

I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you. (Not that he won - I’m shocked that they are shocked).

I’ve supported Trump’s brash @ss from day 1. I thought we were going to kick ass, I hoped we were going to kick @ss, I PRAYED we were going to kick @ss. But I was still scared to death until that needle hit the Very Likely zone. And that’s when the most beautiful thing happened. All the fear and loathing and anxiety I had been feeling left me (us) and went into THEM, the beast supporters. I haven’t felt this good in 8 years.
