It's been been 4 days since Donald "Biff" Trump rocked the political world and received the most electoral votes in the 2016 Presidential election. Hillary accumulated more popular votes, by more than 400,000, but our system doesn't operate that way.
Second time in 16 years a Democrat has won the popular vote and lost the election. Al Gore had 530,000 more votes than George W. Bush in 2000, when the Supreme halted a recount in Florida and declared GW the winner.
Al Gore was gracious in defeat.
Hillary has been gracious in defeat.
THEN WHY ALL THE PROTEST THIS TIME AND NOT IN 2000?
BECAUSE THE WINNER, THIS TIME, IMPLIED THAT THE ELECTION WAS RIGGED FOR HIS OPPONENT AND THAT HE WOULD NOT ACCEPT THE OUTCOME...."UNLESS HE WON."
The people on the other side of the Trump wall are simply giving him some of his own medicine......
and one more thing to keep in mind.
Many of the marching people, who are apparently quite upset, were Bernie people. His "movement" and his "people" were asked to support Hillary after the primary...and they did and now they've received something so far away from what Bernie stood for, that their brains are fried.
Maybe this type of political result is what this country needs so that the gate can once again swing one way before it actually swings back the other way and stays open for everyone to get in.
I see a bright future.......there's just some very odd clouds in the way.
Go Elizabeth
