    This is EXACTLY why I voted for Johnson. It was time to "just say no"......

    So my evening last night and then again this morning, was full of clients calls curious as to what it all meant. What I was fascinated and surprised by were who some of those people voted for. My client base is largely Democrat but some of them who have voted Democrat all of there life, voted for Trump. It wasn't that they were huge supporters of his but rather that they felt they couldn't support someone with so much ethical baggage and continued corruption ties being put into the most powerful position in the country and maybe the world.

    For every questionable thing that Trump said, there was something very questionable that Clinton did. They also struggled to find anything she had done that was a big success. It wasn't that Trump hasn't has his failures but he has also had some huge successes and they felt this country needed that.

    They also felt that no matter who won, they had a HUGE hole to dig out of. 95+ million working age people are out of work, almost 1/2 of the country is on some type of government support and there are more people in poverty and on food stamps than at any time in the past 50+ years according to some. They also pointed out that massive debt that we have that is bigger than all the rest of the presidents in the history of this country COMBINED that the new president will inherit and that the market is due for a correction after so much stimulus has propped it up for so long.

    One client who is gay said he supported Trump because Trump had been LGBT friendly long before Hillary was who up until a couple of years ago was still against gay marriage. They also liked that Trump had been against the way and wants to stay out of other nations business more while Hillary had voted for the Iraq war.

    Person after person surprised the heck out of me in terms of whom they voted for and why. Quite the interesting conversations...

    Holy shit the revisionist history is sickening on facebook right now.

    "OMG Hillary.. thank you for being such an inspiration!"

    What the hell is inspiring about Hillary Clinton? Seriously?

    This isn't the inspirational story of a self-made woman. She stayed with her shitty husband after he repeatedly cheated on her, she used his name and influence to get into the Senate. She took just about every kind of donation she could get from Wall Street, the Saudis, Big Pharma and god knows who else. She was handed the nomination by the DNC through a rigged primary. She used her influence in the national media to prop up Donald Trump, but it backfired.

    How the hell anyone could possibly think this is an honest person, or that she is any kind of inspirational, is beyond me. She would do just about anything to win an election. She stands for nothing. She cares nothing for the American people. Having Trump as the President is not what I was hoping for, but I'm tired of people acting like Saint Hillary was some kind of moral upgrade over Trump. She and her husband caused long lasting negative effects on this country that we're STILL dealing with over 20 years later, and now she was going to go into office and pass more legislation that was going to double down on the shit that fucked us up during Bill's reign.

    Let's stop pretending like anyone would want your daughter/sister/wife/mother to behave like Hillary Clinton.

    Hillary promised more than once to open a no-fly zone in Syria, shooting down Russian fighters. Preventing nuclear war is why I, on the left, voted for Trump.

    The feminist inspirationalists are full of horseshit, but so is your anti-sex moralism and lack of appreciation for the Clinton surplus.

    Then why don't you drop your religious love for the institution of marriage, and help those who fight those chains.

    I have no ambitions. I have fears of warmongers like Hillary. I think, but am not sure, that Trump will kill fewer people. She represents the State Dept., which wants to peel apart Russia, the #3 capitalist economy in the world, into smaller parts. He wants to make Russia an ally.

    Hillary was a Republican until she got a Democratic boyfriend from Arkansas. She campaigned in 1964 and 1968 for Republicans. She is more conservative than Trump in international matters, and probably in domestic cultural matters.

    I see her stance as classic Sabre rattling....she's probably read the art of war, but I don't believe for a second we've been on the brink of another world war or cold war or holocaust....and I'm always right...I said Trump would lose and he did....he has to work now...can't grope staffers.....next thing he'll lose will be the hair

    She would have greatly expanded the Syria War into one as intense as the Iraq War. Syria has hypersonic Russian missiles and would have sunk American ships launching fighters and missiles. National pride could easily have forced the U.S. to attack the Russian base helping Syria. Then they retaliate with nuclear weapons against the ships. Then we do. Then general nuclear war.

    Just ridiculous, overthrowing Assad, a popular ruler, with a fake civil war manned by Muslims recruited from other countries. The CIA did the same in Afghanistan, resulting in the Taliban. There's a similar government now in Libya. Just asinine. The State Dept. is addicted to eternal war. They don't even offer bad ideological excuses anymore, as they did against Communism. Just the tired, "He's a dictator."

    And you're not on a high horse, critiquing someone else? His domestic errors will be exceeded by his avoidance of war with Russia and its surrogates. Hillary was the right winger on international matters. Trump will fight ISIS in Iraq and Syria, but not Russia and the Syrian government.

    Why does it have to be about religion? I think people that stay with their significant other, when that significant other is abusive in one way or another, are not someone that should be admired or looked up to. If my wife cheated on me, I would leave her. I'm not religious, so it has nothing to do with God. It has to do with being disrespected. If she cheats on me, she clearly doesn't care about my feelings, so I'm not going to stay in that kind of relationship. Hillary stayed because she needed Bill.

    You left out the conclusion you made in your earlier post...that that fact makes her a rotten person. Electing people based upon how they cope with their unique feelings of loneliness is a bad way to evaluate candidates. That goes for both Bill and Hillary.

    Well thanks. I wrote that just for you. You owe me now, and someday in the far future, I will knock on your door to collect. Stay prepared.
