I was up watching it on Fox business, finally started nodding off when it was down to the wire, woke up just in time for the victory speech.
Didn't know what time Hillary conceded, final tally was Trump 279 electoral votes. I was a bit off, I was expecting around 282 to 285.
Hillary's people were crying
http://www.fox5ny.com/news/216373607-storyAnd he won it event though voter fraud was a problem in several states, including here in Texas. Machines flipping votes, dead people voting, you name it they tried it.
Now it's time for him to get into the next phase, putting together a cabinet. He's already put out a few possible names, Giuliani, Gingrich and a couple of others but just a couple of starters.
Then we have to see what Obama is going to pull between now and inauguration day...for sure plenty more regulations and and prisoner releases, and expect him to do whatever he can to push the phony climate change agenda.
Trump's biggest problem will be the press, but I think he's already put their reputation in the sewer, last time I checked their reputation was bad, something like 75% of people don't trust the press any more. So maybe that will help.
Having a Republican majority in both senate and house will help, 1st time for that since 1928, but I still don't think he will be able to do everything he wants. As I've said before if he gets half of what he wants, probably about what he expects, we'll be in very good shape. We all want to see the economy get better, I have no doubt that will happen. I'm betting the wall will happen too. I'd like to see term limits, that's been badly needed for a long time but it will be a tough sell to get congress to go along with it. Repeal Obamacare is probably in the bag too, and I'm betting even a number of democrats will go along with that one.
It's wait and see for now, but I still think he will do a better job than most people seem to think. He is not the politician who sees a problem and tries to figure out how to benefit politically, whether it gets fixed or not. He is a businessman and problem solver who looks for an actual solution. He took no money from special interests, he can flip them off and do what is right, nobody is going to control him. He put near $100 million of his own money into this, and took only small individual donations.
But there's a down side...moving into the white house after his place in Trump Tower is like...well, Trump Tower makes the White House look like a Holiday Inn...he just walked away from his $4 million a year salary for more like $400,000...which he has said more than once he will not accept...and Air Force one is...smaller and not as nice as his current 757...he also has already walked away from his business, he handed it to his kids when he announced, and told them "don't blow it". So Eric, Donald Jr and Ivanka have been running things since last year. And so far doing a great job. Pop has a new job...
Get used to it folks, you can start calling him President Trump now.
Oh yeah..I wonder what will happen with all the people who said they would move out of the country if he was elected...are they packing?
