Polls were wrong, experts were wrong, GOP was wrong, some Christians were wrong

It seems like anybody who has a thread of influence was wrong on this huge win by America's President Elect, Mr. Donald J. Trump.

And now today I'm hearing tons of people from the opposite shore cry for unity.
I don't recall hearing very much about unity before today but I got my daily fill from neighbors, friends, Acts posters, Christians & others about how awful it would be if Mr. Trump were to win the presidency ...alas, now he has won & so far we're all still here.
Even the stock market rebounded & came within 40+ points of the single best day of trading ever.

Here is a partial list of what we might get under Mr. Trump's presidency:
The unborn will be protected & Planned Parenthood is in trouble.
The 5 surgeons my wife works for are excited to see what kind of plan will replace bomb-scare ACA & they're hoping it will be a plan that allows for inter-state purchases where competition will help set the plum line with our premiums.
The school where I volunteer told me today that the superintendent is excited because the federal mandate to teach Common Core curriculum will be abolished.
The 2nd amendment will not be an issue with this POTUS.
Our high courts will have the chance to see conservative nominees made & we will begin to see conservative appointments made in lower courts.
The military will begin to see a huge focus on rebuilding our 4 branches.
Israel will be treated with the highest respect again!
Our enemies will begin to respect us once again knowing that the new Prez is a man who will dole out punishment when needed.
China, Iran, Russia & N. Korea might make careful military decisions after Jan. 20, 2017.
I hear that a special team of experts will be assembled to begin looking into the infrastructure of the rust belt. He said he will end the war on coal.
New trade agreements will be re-negotiated to make it fair on the U.S. manufacturers.
We might see a border wall protecting the southern border that affects the safety of our immigration issues. He will remove criminal illegals from this country.
Another team of financial experts will be assembled to help find & focus attention towards paying down our national debt.
He says & I believe him when he says that hundreds of thousands of jobs will be created by strengthening our own economy, drawing up new trade agreements will countries who want to trade with us, tariff percentages will see an increase, foreign security using U.S. Military will no longer be FREE.
Cut funding the majority of the United Nations in N.Y.
Make countries where Muslims come from provide legal status & proper vetting before letting potential extreme muslim terrorist to enter.
Cancel the TPP & renegotiate the terms of NAFTA.
Renegotiate the Iran Deal.
He says he will leave Social Security alone & he will cut taxes on the extreme rich to help generate more revenue in the job sector by way of expansion in manufacturing & bringing back home more businesses from over seas.
He has a plan to take the oil we were supposed to have kept under the original deal we cut back in Operation Desert Storm & bomb ISIS regularly. Our nations generals will be given 30 days to come up with a plan to stop ISIS.
Renovate the Dept. of Veterans Affairs.
Repeal every single Obama executive order." (He has also pledged more specifically to "eliminate every unconstitutional executive order."
He will abolish the Syrian refugee plan in it's current model.

Here is what Hillary was intending to do in her first few days in office:

"Tackle the gun lobby to try to reduce the outrageous number of people who are dying from gun violence in our country."
"Reach out to Republicans and say, 'This is your chance to help millions of families and show that your party, the party of Lincoln, is better than Donald Trump.'"
"Work with both parties to pass the biggest investment in new, good-paying jobs since World War II."

Now all Americans get to benefit from a president who will be a doer & not a talker!

To be very honest, I really felt good this morning when I read on the internet that Trump had won. I hope he is a good leader. I voted for him

I am glad he won. I was bracing for the imperial rule of Hillary, I am glad she and Bill are now on another direction. Cool

Internationally, Trump is not popular. Maybe people on the street in Russia are happy about this. People in Israel may be happy, since his statement about putting the embassy in Jerusalem (he did take Cruz's idea about that, didn't he?) sounds very pro-Israel.

The rest of the world, which doesn't know about our internal struggles, hear's sound bites of Trump insulting people and saying comments that could be considered racist.

I have a colleague who has finished his PhD coursework in political science. He thinks Putin wanted Trump to win because he thinks he can manipulate Trump by flattering him. I told him maybe he said all those positive things about Trump to help Clinton win.

Trump is unpredictable. I think a lot of people in the world want someone somewhat predictible, normal, and reliable, especially if he is in charge of a very powerful military force, including the nuclear arsenal. One of the concerns I am praying about for him is that he will gain an appropriate filter between his mind and his mouth. The presidents (Communist kings?) of North Korea are known for their crazy-sounding boastful bluster.

I head a Mexican diplomatic official share her opinion to a group of college students concerned about Trump. Someone asked her about it, and she said it was a sign of acceptance of intolerance and hatred, that there were lots of Eastern European immigrants in the US, but that was okay because they were white.

She didn't seem to get that one of the main issues was illegal immigration. I haven't heard about a lot of eastern Europeans sneaking into the US. I'd imagine the number of illegal Asians is rather small percentage wise when compared to the US, though I know it does happen. Some students can overstay visas and sailors can walk off of boats into the US.

I realize that a lot of what Trump said can appeal to the racist component of the United States, but it also appeals to people with some legitimate concerns. She also did not seem to grasp that host of other issues. Under the other party's leadership, a Supreme Court nominee was added who tilted the court toward redefining marriage in an insane marriage, using a foolish legal argument. She also did not seem to grasp the fact that for many, a vote for Trump was a vote that signaled distrust of or dislike of Hillary Clinton over Ben Ghazi, deleted emails, Bill Clinton for a husband, her character and personality, etc.

His acceptance speech was apparently written by someone else, read off a teleprompter. I hope he does that consistently from here on out. Let's pray that he'll recognize his own weaknesses. Let's pray for that filter, too, since he will be in charge of national secrets.

First, an Obama (or Hillary) appointee would ABSOLUTELY be liberal and would tilt the court completely to the left.

True, Kennedy is a conservative traitor. Reagan tried and hoped, and should have tried appointing with more of a history to judge conservative credentials. But, hindsight is 20/20. Someone noted he probably couldn't have been successful in getting a proven conservative confirmed. I think Reagan tried and misread Kennedy.

That said, at LEAST we have a CHANCE of a conservative justice with Trump. With Hillary, no way.

As I've noted in other posts, I am not fond of Trump, but he was the least bad. I hope he will learn to be more diplomatic. If he can learn to be as strong in his beliefs as he is now, without the bafoonery and bad language, we can have hope. There was zero hope with Hillary.

I hope allegations of his sexual aggressiveness is wrong as that is obviously no less acceptable whether his name was Trump or Bill Clinton. But, I remain highly suspect with timing of his accusers to suddenly appear in October. That said, his "locker room" banter and his lewd comments certainly add an element of credibility for his accusers. He certainly has the persona that would suggest he thinks he is God's gift to women, so I acknowledge he could be guilty of such conduct.

Neverthless, what was the choice? Throw away our vote for a 3rd party? Indeed, it would have sent a message, but we would have President Hillary today.

3rd party votes succeeding in allowing Clinton to have more popular votes than Trump. (About 4% went independent and 1% green party). Hillary would have received almost all the green party votes and a part of independent (that were originally Bernie supporters), but Trump would have likely had enough of the 3rd party to get the majority. If indeed, the independents were mostly Bernie voters, then Hillary would have won if those voted directly for her. But personally, I think more would have sided Republican than Hillary, but I don't have data to support that.
