People had 3 choices in this election. Vote for Hillary and the continued status quo, regardless of her experience in politics. Vote for Trump and a MOAB into the heart of DC and the political elite, regardless of his experience in politics. Or they could have thrown their vote away/protested the poor choices by not voting or voting for a third party. A move that only you and your closest friends know about, and has next to no chance of becoming a big enough "thing" to change Washington. So, do you vote for a candidate you don't necessarily like because you know it's going to contribute more to making a statement? Or do you stage your personal protest and feel a little better about sticking to your guns, but realize you accomplished nothing? I wish we would have had so many people not vote or vote for someone else that the election was forced to be invalidated and the parties were forced to come up with better candidates. It's highly probable that will never happen. So, what are you left with? Vote for the lesser of two evils. I didn't like either of these candidates. I think Hillary is unbelievably corrupt and I find it hard to believe people think we actually have all the facts about her and what she's been doing for the last 30 years. I think we are barely scratching the surface and I would love to see Trey Gowdy become the AG and get let off the leash. I think Trump is massively underqualified everywhere but economics and I think his bluster and non-PC attitude is not always the appropriate response. Here's what I like more about him though, the man isn't afraid to state his opinion. Even if it seems wildly unpopular, he does not play the constant equivocation and waffling game. I may not always like that, but I respect it. I don't think it's a great quality for a President to possess, but I do believe it is a great tool for a President to have in his toolbox and I believe it is a great tool for the world to know he has in his toolbox. Do you honestly think Hillary believes all, or even the majority, of what she says? She has been a cog in a massive machine that has been built on lies, cover-ups, half truths, obfuscation, and arrogance. That machine is Washington. A candidate like Trump being the President Elect is the biggest possible fuck you that America can give to Hillary and the rest of Washington, just like Michael Moore said. I think we lost either way, but I think we lost less by electing Trump. I, for one, am very anticipatory of the first 100 days Trump spends in office. I am equally as interested to see what happens while President Obama closes out his term. Are charges brought against Hillary so that he can issue a pardon? If so, does Trump challenge that as soon as he takes office? Does President Obama work to have a smooth handover, or does he say "fuck it" and leave Trump twisting in the wind as much as possible? Just solely looking at the fact that the American people sent a Clinton and a Washington elite packing is a step in the right direction. Trump was not the best candidate, but putting Clinton and her ilk on notice that shit needs to change is not a bad first step to turning this country around. I am not apologizing for Trump and I am not saying he will "Make America Great Again". I am saying that electing him is the American people saying that enough is e-fucking-nough, and that first step away from the status quo needed to happen.
