I might have been the one who told you that!
I was actually cheering Obama on during the 2008 primaries because I wanted to see Hillary denied the nomination. I figured there was no way in hell that Obama could ever win the presidency and that whoever the Republicans nominated, they would be a shoo-in.
But Trump has truly set the standard that ANYBODY can be president. Now I am thrilled that Trump won but had I come here just five years ago and speculated that Trump would be our next president, I would have been laughed right out of here.
Now I don't discount anybody. Oprah, Michael Jordan Mark Zuckerberg, that guy who used to run the Starbucks chain, even that crazy woman from The Bronx we've all been yapping about lately. All of them could be our president someday.
If we truly believe in “A government of the people, by the people...” then this is a good thing. The further we get from careerist politicians, the better.
