I, Lone Laugher, foolishly believed that the electorate would reject the unlikley candidacy of Donald Trump. I expressed this opinion in an arrogant and condescending manner...day after day...post after post. This, in spite of the fact that I had been wrong dozens of times since last June with regard to this candidate.
cereal_killer , on the other hand, read the tea leaves with the precision of a Lockheed Martin DAGR. He predicted a resounding victory for Trump and his supporters. He clearly grasped facts on the ground and understood the mood of the nation in ways that I couldn't possibly begin to understand.
I will forever question my own interpretation of how politicians are viewed by the electorate. I will struggle with the "hows" and 'whys" of this election result. I doubt my ego will ever recover.....which may be for the best.
Moving forward, I will have no choice but to hope that this man proves himself worthy of the position he is now in. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't concerned. I must leave that concern aside. I will do as I have always done....support the office of the president...hope that he is successful, helps move the nation forward and earns a second term. I shall also, as always, be a source of loyal opposition when necessary.
