Hillary Clinton received six million fewer votes than Barack Obama did in 2012. Millennials, Latinos and Blacks failed to show for Hillary. Of course, Hillary did herself in by using her own server and destroying 30,000 emails after receiving a subpoena from Congress to preserve the emails. The murders in Benghazi also weighed heavily on the minds of voters. But the biggest factor working against Hillary was her dishonesty factor.
Across the nation, Democrats have lost 900 state legislative seats and seventy Congressional seats since Obama won his first term. Republicans now control 56 percent of the state legislative seats, up 12 percent since 2009. Thirty-five states posted double-digit seat losses for Democrats in state legislatures, including more than 50 seats each in Arkansas, New Hampshire and West Virginia. Overall, during Obama’s presidency, Democrats have lost 11 governorships, 13 U.S. Senate seats, 69 House seats, 913 state legislative seats, and 30 state legislative chambers.

A like-minded conservative Justice will fill Scalia’s seat. President Trump may have an opportunity to fill three or four vacancies on the court. The Democrats may delay appointments through filibuster. Some Republicans advocate eliminating filibusters for Supreme Court candidates.

Who would have thought that the pragmatic, independent, watchdog press turned out to be Wikileaks and Drudge, while the mainstream-news-media exposed their bigotry and bias by being in the tank for Hillary.
They went after Trump at every opportunity, sacrificing their journalistic integrity in the process. So-called reporters and journalists openly mocked Trump. The main-stream-media made itself irrelevant for future elections.
Who they endorse no longer carries the import it once had. The main-stream-media is in the final stages of its death spiral. According to Gallup, trust in the main-stream-media is at an all-time low. Only 51% of Democrats, 30% of independents, and 14 % of Republicans trust the mains-stream-media (http://marylandreporter.com/2016/10/24/collins-mainstream-media-may-be-in-a-death-spiral/). In my opinion, President Trump should de-credential every main-stream-media reporter and journalist from the White House for violating journalistic and reportorial ethics.

As soon as Trump won the election, rioting broke out in several cities, primarily cities run by Democrat administrations. Ilya Sheyman, a failed Illinois contender and the executive director of Moveon.org, a George Soros funded organization, took credit for the violence at a cancelled Trump event in Chicago. He promised similar violence and disruption will occur in the future.
Who are the rioters exactly? These fragile little snowflakes, emotionally immature and anarchistic radicals, are the product of public schools and teachers unions. They are unable to accept reality. They do not understand how our election process works. They only know that when they follow instruction to riot from Sheyman, they get paid by Soros. These are the same fragile snowflakes that cannot handle “offensive” concepts and language, yet willingly accept food stamps and other largesse from the Obama administration.
In San Francisco, students from multiple high schools staged a walkout to protect the Trump election. Too bad they didn’t attend a civics class instead. They might have learned something.

President Obama, in an address to the Congressional Black Caucas, declared he would consider it “a personal insult, an insult to my legacy” if Black turnout fails for Hillary Clinton. “My name may not be on the ballot, but our progress is on the ballot.”
Yes, Obama’s policies were on the ballot and American voters delivered a major repudiation of Obamacare, higher taxes, political correctness, political intolerance . . . all Obama’s policies have been soundly rejected by the voters. American voters remembered that forgotten American that Obama and his Democrats ignored.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton both called for unity. Now that they will be out of power, they want Republicans to reach out to them. This is the public face of Obama and Clinton. The dark side, Moveon.org and George Soros are already rioting and destroying public property. We think the calls for unity to be just a head fake before the Democrats begin attacking.
To stay associated with the Democrats “unity” is asking for a less than subtle collapse of the gains garnered in this Republican win. Now that a clearly established leadership is to be present within the Republican ranks it behooves them to take this gift and put it to good and continuous solid advantage. No attention should be paid to Democrat entreaties they should be firmly left on their own rocks of despair. They were “at bat” for the past eight years and those results speak for themselves. They will and should remain in their turmoil.

Left wing journalists and reporters, aka Democrat stenographers, attempted to tarnish Donald Trump’s historic blowout win by blaming it on racism. A simple analysis shows that Mr. Trump received fewer white votes than any of the prior three Republican nominees, while receiving a higher percentage of Black and Latino votes than the three prior Republican nominees. Where is the racism? Only in the little, fractured minds of the radical left.
