Being an early riser the news hasn't officially declared the winner of the presidential election, although it is obvious that it will be Donald Trump. It's not surprising that the media is reluctant to admit to that as the bias has been quite obvious over the entire campaign. It remains to be seen how this result will be taken. Hopefully there are no incidents. I heard the National Guard had already been activated for security measures, a wise decision, one that should have been the last time around but was blocked by Pelosi. Whatever, the past is the past and behind us.
I'm just grateful that it is all over now as I have grown tired of all the talk. We will get a short period of rest from all of that. I'm sure much will be made of the fact that Trump has a felony conviction. It's true, he does, but it doesn't disqualify him from the presidency. It didn't even disqualify him from voting something the Democrats fully support, in fact, wishing to expand that to everyone in prison. Let's hope the Democrats can work in a bipartisan fashion. But I've heard that the Republicans have won the house and the senate, although I don't know that for certain. Time for a change!
I didn't vote for a personality, I voted for common sense. The republican party is that party. As I have written many times you can't legislate on emotions. It is like raising your children, you sometimes have to say no, be mean, and hurt their feelings. You can't simply be their "friend" and allow them to go unchecked. Yes, they have to brush their teeth, go to bed and do their homework! If they don't behave in school it isn't the teachers fault, it is yours! We have to do what is best for America!
Hate the man all you want, he is a businessman. The business of government requires someone willing to be unpopular, their ego needs to be that great. It's true, nice guys finish last. You can sit at home and talk about how good you feel about yourself, how moral and righteous you are, but in the end the nice guy finishes last. Fact is, only when you profit from that person will you consider him or her a nice guy. No one likes to admit that they are wrong. No one likes it when their ideas aren't adopted. No one likes to hear, no. As I wrote just yesterday, perception is everything. The electorate perceived it was time for a change. Only time will tell, buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy ride.
