As we wake up this morning, Donald Trump has become the President-Elect. This event, apparently, came by surprise to a lot of people. I wasn’t surprised at all. If anyone was paying attention to my ‘rants’ and posts, they all had a common theme:
1) The polling was all skewed by oversampling democrats and independents. Poll after poll, it showed Clinton with a lead, but when you took the time to normalize the polls to remove this oversampling, Trump was either tied or in the lead. Furthermore, national polling looks at the nation as a whole. We know that California and New York (for example) would vote to Clinton by wide margins, but what about the other states? So even with the polls skewed towards Clinton, her 3 point lead in the RCP averages means it’s a tie.
2) There was absolutely no enthusiasm for Clinton. While Trump was filling stadiums with thousands who couldn’t get in, Clinton couldn’t fill the area in front of a hot dog stand. The only time Clinton got a proud is when she brought celebrities with her, including Obama, but at no time in her campaign did she receive a sizable crowd of willing participants. If she can’t draw a crowd to her rallies, how could she draw them to the polls?
3) The MSM was totally, and unabashedly in the tank for Clinton. If the MSM had been neutural as they should be, Clinton would have never made it through the primaries with all her scandals that were not covered at all. Benghazi? her illegal, private email server? All the quid-pro-quo and pay-for-play with her Clinton Foundation (or at least the appearance of such nefarious activity)? Wikileaks? Project Veritas? Any one of these things would have sunk a candidate and if the MSM did some actual investigative reporting, would have landed her in jail. But not Clinton largely due to the fact that the Clinton’s own the Justice department and Comey did all he could to block the FBI from investigating— this in itself is another scandal worthy of MSM investigation, but again they took a pass.
Meanwhile, while all that smoke from raging fires was taking place in the Clinton camp, The Clintons paraded out a bunch of bimbos, some paid to lie, some simply did so to get some fame. Granted, Trump didn’t help himself much with some of his comments, but it was enough to fan the little bit of smoke into a small fire. Is Trump a mysoginist? no. Just take a look at who’s running his campaign and his companies. Is Trump a racist? nope. He has plenty people of color running his companies, and he’s opened up properties to people of color when that wasn’t allowed at the time. Is Trump anti-muslim? Nope. All he said is that we need to stop the flow of Syrian refugees until we can get a better handle on who is here. The same for the southern wall. Yet all you hear from the MSM is all the trumped up DNC talking points to somehow make Trump a worse human being than Clinton. The DNC and the MSM worked very close together and nearly succeeded. But, people came out to see Trump at rallies, and somehow he managed to break through the DNC/MSM talking points.
One more point to make. I watched MSNBC for the election coverage, and watched them all try to figure out what happened. What happened is that they totally bought into the liberal echo chamber that the MSM, NYT, WAPO etc. created, and that any deviation from what they confidently thought would happen was unexpected. They totally bought into the lies and the talking DNC talking points while poo-pooing Clinton’s scandals. And it wasn’t just them. It was also my Facebook friends who totally bought into this false narrative as well. I really feel bad for them as they hopefully realize that the NYT, WAPO, etc. did not do them any favors by skewing the news and not reporting fairly.
4) Lastly, Clinton should have been indicted for her email server and her foundation. The ONLY reason she wasn’t was Clinton owns Loretta Lynch and the DoJ. It was Bill Clinton who appointed Lynch to be Attorney General in the NY office… the same office that has jurisdiction over the investigations into her email server and foundation. It is Lynch who built that office, and they are loyal to Lynch, so these investigations were stymied or hampered in any way they could. (Does anyone actually believe Bill and Loretta had a private meeting at a remote tarmac to discuss golf and grandchildren?) They constantly got in the FBI’s way. Follow the dots. Everyone else has except the MSM, which is why liberals haven’t connected them yet. If this was anyone else, that person would have the book thrown at them a long time ago.
The electorate realizes that Washington is broken, and the only way to fix Washington is to hire an outsider with potentially new ways of getting things done. Yes, the election was very close, but only because the democrats did a very good job of tearing trump down to create the perception that he's as bad as Clinton, who no one really is defending her scandalous behavior. The electorate is screaming for someone to fix DC, which is why Sanders diid unexpectedly well, although the system was rigged against him. Electing Clinton to fix DC would have been like the fox hired to guard the henhouse. She is part of the problem, not the solution. At least with Trump, we have a chance to fix things.
I've said this about the primaries: The people selected Trump despite the party, and the party selected Clinton despite the people. The same can be said about this election.
