I’m placing most of the blame on the media, who knowing better, spent far too much time vilifying Hillary’s use of a private email server, which was NOT ILLEGAL, while largely ignoring pending lawsuits and real scandals involving Trump, who they gave unlimited, free air-time, and refused to call him out on his multitudinous LIES AND DECEITS. A CBS bigshot summed it up declaring, “Trump may NOT be good for America, but he’s good for ratings!” So the media got what was good for them; they can continue that circus show for years, possibly complete with indictments and an impeachment forthcoming. The Americans, too apathetic to care about what happens outside their own door, co-mingled with the extremely ignorant — of world events, history and how our government is supposed to work, joined by those who through hate, fear and bigotry resonated with Trump’s message formed the “populist uprising” of protest votes, our Brexit. Let’s acknowledge that Hillary won the majority of the popular vote, (she could still be voted in by the electors in December; check your civics book or Google the subject) and she, ever the diplomat, gave a gracious concession speech. I say that we’re drawing our battle lines even closer in this civil war, and I like Tim Kaine’s quote from William Faulkner, “they kilt us, but they ain’t whipped us yet!” We need to get out there and fight even harder for our vision for America!
