Final election thoughts (thank goodness it is over):

1) This was in NO WAY a rejection of a woman leader! I would have no problem with a woman president. Been many succesful women leaders in the world so they have already proven it is not a lack of skill and temperment.

2) This was a complete rejection of a crooked Clinton camp. Being from Arkansas I have known the Clintons for a long time and how they have no respect for the rules or anyone in their way.

3) The Democratic party's platform has not been working so well in the US. There is a limit to how much you can tax people to support everyone else. Bill Clinton had a great idea when he was first in the oval office. People need welfare? Fine, give them some civic job or role even if it is patrolling their neighborhood. That way you help relieve the burden of the taxes you live off. And, the "melting pot" has limits to how much you can or should allow in each year.

4) Obamacare is busted and many many states will agree. The cost is skyrocketing due to a lack of competition in the networks. Address the root of the high medical costs and maybe you can get somewhere with the idea of universal health coverage.

5) The media SUCKS! You can't believe anything you read or hear. You have to watch all of the networks and then make up your own mind. Still won't be the whole truth but you will have a better view.

6) Every election cycle half the country wins, the other loses. It is why the country has survived and been so powerful for 240 years. This is the first time I have been on the winning side since I last supported Bill Clinton (in my naivity). I did not protest and threaten to move to a new country. It is just how things work. If Trump tries to do anything crazy then the congress or supreme court will stop him. Everyone just chill.
