President...TRUMP!

Say what?...without a doubt the most surprising of all elections in my life...the people have had their say...and it is Donald Trump as the next Prez...number 45...as we were watching the results...starting with Kentucky and Indiana...shock and awe went through my system...not that he was winning those two, but by the numbers!...immediately, I sensed that this day and night may...just may...be a bit tighter than I expected...

I had said to watch Ohio...as it would be a tipping scale to the election...yes, and Florida and North Carolina, too...all went Trump's way...it took awhile, for most of the votes to be tallied...yup, I was scanning both CNN and FOX...back and forth...get this...the one most reluctant to announce was FOX...and the night went on and on...more and more states announced for the Donald...

We went to bed around 11...knowing that either Michigan or Pennsylvania would be the final straw...and...Pennsylvania did it!...at 11:30 our time...Clinton called Trump and conceded...

How did this happen?...reasons are all over the place...here is the Horse take...

He outworked her...met with thousands more of the people...over and over...when she was talking to high dollar Demos at dinners, he was at stadiums...

Listen...most of the blame should be directed toward the DNC...the elite of the party...who humiliated the common Demo with the blatant way they got her elected over Bernie Sanders...using the "super delegate sham" as a shield for their want of Hillary...yet the common man or woman, felt that their vote was useless...or fruitless...

Then...the selection of the VP...the DNC underestimated the ground swell of Bernie's support...didn't bring him along on the ticket...in essence, threw away the "young voters" that he had brought into the election process....

The polls...the pundits...the experts...how could they be so far off?...biased journalism...appeared to just fall off the shoulders of the common man and woman...who did the actual voting...

After a few days...the country will calm down...and the transition will take place...it's the Repubs turn to try their hand at running the nation...

Yes, I am surprised...not mad...let's just see where this takes us...
