[St Charles Owl]

59m+ people is more than "SOME" as you put it!!! As regards the outcome, with the way the electoral collage works here is was a very decisive victory that once all the results are in will be even more decisive!! He effectively trounced her across the middle of the country, the manufacturing heartland or Rust Belt all went his way and multiple states changed color from the last election to this one. People in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan have seen their jobs disappear to Mexico over the last 20 years and while I accept those jobs will never come back, the rhetoric you heard from Trump totally appealed to this blue collar demographic. They have seen successive presidents from both parties basically ignore them and watch this collapse in the job markets, and finally along comes someone who is saying what they are thinking, and hey presto we have President Donald J Trump!!! I actually think he may be able to do some good with the economy and trade but for me its the generational stuff like abortion rights, LBGT rights, gun control and immigration policies that if he now chooses could be put back decades by first his Supreme Court appointments and the fact the Republicans now hold the party in all three political arms!!

Of course like always its not all bad news, I live in California and the people here have now voted to legalize marijuana, so maybe I can just spend the next 4 years getting high and hoping it all works out!!!
