I can completely understand all of the reactions you are having. Good lord knows that should Hillary have won I would be expressing the same sentiments.
Trump wasn't my first choice in the Republican primary. I wonder if you can figure out who my top five were. I'll give a hint - Trump was in my top five. I'll come back in a few days to see if anyone has read this or bothered to take a stab at it. If you don't know who my top choice was, well....you never knew me very well.
The government is broken. I could list all the reasons that I believe why, which would vary from yours. I could list all of the reasons that I think Trump was preferable to Clinton, and you could do the same for Clinton over Trump, and we could talk about why I hate her and you hate him and what we fear that each others preference would do.....but the fact is that Trump is NOT responsible for anything broken in government. He hasn't been in government. Lobbied, made deals with government, yeah....but he didn't break anything. I think it is time that someone who hasn't made politics a career be given a shot to fix it.
I do not like the direction of the last eight years. Obama preached hope and change, and I think most of the hope and change that was desired by many was not realized. I, personally, am looking forward to the changes coming. I have my apprehensions indeed. But I am certain that whatever Trump has to offer will be preferable to me to what Clinton would have, and hopefully will be a correction to what I regard as horrible domestic and foreign policy over the last eight years.
