The labeling is just their way of maintaining a narrative that they hope will hide the real reason they lost PA, MI and WI. "It's not because we allowed globalism to shut down the heartland's jobs, it's because those no-good racists don't like sweet innocent Hillary and Bill!" Note to the Dems; if you're trying to attract votes, calling half the population deplorable might be a mistake.
There were two things that cost her the election: the Deplorables comment was likely the biggest FUBAR (f**ked up beyond all repair) and then the very untimely Coomey email bombshell. I am a bit in the minority in this thinking, but I have this nagging thought that won't go away that says he was quite pissed he didn't have the evidence to indict her for her email server, but he knew he could pretty much derail her run for the White House by releasing the "new" information. Up until that letter, she was virtually a shoo-in. Telling the US electorate two days before the election she was in the clear was like pissing on a forest fire in its effect.
I voted for Hillary not because I loved her, but because I saw Trump as a buffoon. He is a clinical example (still is) of Narcissism with a Borderline Personality Disorder. His plan and strategy was too well aligned with that of Hitler and Mussolini not that I think he was bright enough to have read either manifesto but he did know that to control the media into free attention was free ride #1 and to put the blame of all the blue collar worker's plight on someone else. He blamed the Mexicans and the Islamic's and ranted over and over and over as to how they would ruin America and how they had to go. This, quite effectively took the onus off him to actually show any real plans.
Frankly, I do not think he ever expected to get elected. From the look on his face when he faced the victory crowd, it was evidence he was as stunned as Clinton who felt she had it in the bag...as did I. The Republican party will win the next four years if they can manage to curb him but as with almost all Manic Depressive's, when he goes on a roll, he's as predictable as a drunk in a China shop. He's made promises that will never come to fruition. The wall, at the cost between 40 and 60 billion dollars underestimated by my accounting as I've hiked the hills that follow the Rio Grande and know them to be mostly impenetrable for the purposes of building said wall just isn't financially or constructional feasible. The Mexicans with a GDP of about $7 per capita do not have the funds to pay for it. Remember, despite what Trump told his followers - "they loved me in Mexico, and the President of Mexico loves me," what the President of Mexico actually said, and on public TV was go F**K yourself.
The second which he promises on his first day in office to dismantle Obamacare, has more than just a few problems. One it was a congressional act and only the congress can totally dismantle it, but two, he has no workable plan that will keep 20 million Americans with equitable healthcare. His plan to allow those needing insurance to reach across state lines is being met with much disdain by the insurers across the nation because they realize that huge influxes of new members will just drive their administrative cost so high, no gain and perhaps even loss will occur. In the end, he is going to have to do what Hillary was going to have to do and that is tweak the system to lower costs without throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
Banning all Muslims coming into the country is going to also have to be modified because of the horrid loss of respect from our overseas neighbors. You can only piss off the rest of the world so much before you start losing allies. The last initial concern for him will come when he puts out large forces of immigration "enforcers" to take people out of their homes and bus them back to Mexico. He thinks they will just hop on that bus willingly and he's as wrong as Hell. They're going to fight and a lot of people are going to get killed on both sides and like the Viet Nam war, this doesn't play well on TV. So, here we have a President who knows doodley squat about foreign policy, really running a military operation, who has very doubtfully ever read, much less comprehend the US Constitution, who is frightfully too cozy with the Russians, potentially deciding the fate of most of the world so perhaps you can understand my quivering fear of the big Buffoon.
Some of you may have felt disenfranchised, but had you taken the time to analyze Donald Trump, even a little, you would have understood why I fear him like no previous President we've ever had. The vast majority of Trump's followers were indeed uneducated, and if they lived in NW FL, I can assure you, to quote a Trumpism, many many many of these beautiful people drove over-sized pickup trucks displaying large Confederate flags, went "mudding' on the weekends and followed the Trump like lemming doing their pilgrimage to the sea, were very much racists and preferred their "wimmen" barefoot and stupid. All I can say to you disenfranchised voters...might want to look both ways before crossing the street next time around. The chicken got lucky.
LMAO "This country is no longer in need of workers." Ha, you get Americans to pick the lettuce, tomatoes, or grapes, etc. They won't do it. Americans are very rarely hired by Cruise Ship lines because they won't work the hours. They feel far to entitled and take great affront at the suggestion they must work to eat. You live in fantasy land, my friend. Without these workers a head of lettuce will cost $6.00. And, to the educated voter who put the Buffoon into office, go online and take a real hard look at his tax plan. You think Hillary was going to stick it to you.....hahahahaha, Trump is going to pretend you are a choirboy. There isn't anything about his Presidency that is going to be pretty and we haven't even touched on the Middle East. "I know more than anyone else including all the generals, how to fix the Middle East," he said repeatedly. I suggest if you really believe this, to make your cliff side reservations early as you follow the rest to the sea. How long can you tread water?
