that in electing a completely unqualified cheeto, you shook up the DC elite. You didn't. In fact, the DC cement just got a whole lot harder.
Consider:
If you really wanted something new and different in American government, you would not have re-elected the same Repub Do Nothings. You would not have elected a rubber stamp president who is utterly incapable of coherent thought. Not to mention that he has said he plans to put big government old timers in high positions.
Moreover, with Pence as the veep and Trump actually admitting he would not be actually serving but would be out "making America great again" while Pence ran the country, all of the anti-freedom, anti-rights issues the fundie sharia law folks want passed are a done deal.
IOW, the DC elite won last night - bigly. And Americans lost, also bigly.
Go ahead and gloat but don't pretend you made any changes or that you won anything. Its actually the opposite.
