I Was Wrong: looking back at POTUS election

I dressed up in my finest big city 1970's clothing and it was a Lime Green Polyester Leisure suit.

So you were the one that bought the one that sold. LOL!

I predicted a Hillary landslide (and geared up accordingly) because Trump was/is not a serious Candidate/President. I really didn't think that folks were ready to burn down/turn our backs on our institutions.

^^FBI^^

I was with Trump since he announced and thought he would win.

I didn’t realize how truly F’d up the Government and Republican Party was / is at all levels.

If Trump does nothing more than Gorsuch I am happy. However, he is in a path to do much more and he has shown how corrupt the media and government truly are.....something I didn’t expect.

I felt out of place with all the adults there since I seemed to be the youngest one in the place, however I got to sit next to former Governor Reagan at the table on his right side.

You code name is JESUS since you got to sit at the right hand of God.

In all honesty, when Donald J Trump, the billionaire from New York, went to twitter and said "Stay tuned next week, I have a major announcement, Lets make America Great Again" on June 12, 2016, a full 4 days before he rode down a gold plated escalator in Trump Tower with his wife, Melania and talked about how the US leaders were losers and illegals were rapist. I knew, 100% for a fact, that HE would become our next president.

I supported him all the way to the time of writing this statement. I did however, donate money to Dr. Ben Carson and I was #42 on the list of donors. I did this because I felt that Dr. Carson had a message and as a Christian, I felt compelled to contribute to his campaign. I am glad that President Trump saw something in Dr. Carson and appointed him Secretary of HUD.

Donald J Trump would speak to 5000 people with his $100 million dollar Boeing 757 as a back drop and people loved it. He never changed his look, his attitude, his character. He wore a $8,000 Brioni suit and put on a $10 dollar hat that said, "make America great again" and people including me felt that we had more in common with him that we did with any politician. For God Sakes, he flew his Sikorsky helicopter into a state fair, got out, eating a corn dog and was letting children crawl all up in his helicopter and play around in it. And people saw that as humble and down to earth. He was always original,

I figured this election would make the threads in General Discussion even more angry, more bitter, and the personal attacks much more frequent.

Nailed it.

I never wanted kids because I didn't want to babysit kids. Then I went into the business world and found out I had to babysit my co-workers just like kids. This is how I knew I was damned to wander the earth seeking rest. Life at the ranch was the only thing that saved me.

I assumed a HRH win by +5 and prepared accordingly, but I too thought there would be record turnout, which would keep it relatively close. I remember actually getting excited about the possibilities of an "outsider" winning the WH on election night...I stopped apologizing for him around May. Guy's a demagogue, plain and simple.

I really thought Trump would completely undermine the RINO elements of the GOP, instead we got the reverse. I probably should have known.

The Like button has been suggested to the Jedi Council. It's under consideration.

But I'll probably get a purple lightsaber before that happens. So don't start holding your breath just yet.
