I think too many Bernie supporters lost the big picture and stayed home or voted for independents or Trump because they were in a pique, and now they get to reap the whirlwind. Don't forget the Comey effect, as others have pointed out.Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274757246538504796.post-1731594184937360702016-11-13T01:00:02.677-08:002016-11-13T01:00:02.677-08:00I should have said, "How can one 'write&#...I should have said, "How can one 'write' off......" - thoughts running ahead of fingers!

Yet many people on this side of the Atlantic Ocean are also very worried about the future under President Trump.<br /><br />Having read the foregoing comments I can find little with which to disagree. Unfortunately, I see similar trends in the UK electorate over the result of the EU referendum. There seems to be a remarkable "ostrich-head-in-the-sand" tendency both here and in the USA (and maybe next year in Italy, the Netherlands, Germany and France), a kind of selfishness that takes no heed of the future and the generations that will need to live with it. <br /><br />But how can one expect people, any people, to make right choices when all too often they cannot see that they need to get right first? How can one right off what Mr. Trump has said during his ill-informed, oikish campaign as mere electioneering speak and say that he will govern differently? One way or the other, he cannot be trusted. As for this side of the pond, post-Brexit, my inner story has a very dismal plot line. I say with all sincerity, "God bless America." Or as Tiny Tim says in Dickens Christmas Carol, "God bless us everyone."

Women in my life-Lana, my daughters, wives of friends, daughters of friends, friends and former colleagues have an additional level of depression. <br />Our system of "professional politics" is broken and Trump and Clinton were the poster couple. While many of us hoped or thought HRC would prevail there was still a concern that while competent and experienced, she would be more of the same. I wrote last year that Sanders vs Trump would be the perfect purgative, but like so many I didn't think Trump's reach would be as deep as it turned out to be. But his drive was also fueled by that group of those who are truly deplorable-the KKK and other normally marginalized cretins like anti Semites, garden variety racist, domestic terrorists and those who seem to be evidence that once we did lope around dragging our knuckles. There was also the hard change of going from an an African American President to a Mommy President. For many of his 59 Million voters that was just a change too far. Some of us abide change easier than others. That too was an under girding factor in the vote.<br />Both parties are a bit in tatters. But as we have learned, in this crisis is an opportunity. If I were a political strategist I'd tell the party that hired me, the best way forward it make the center of your focus working women. Second prime focus would be under or un employed men. Their needs and concerns should instruct and drive party doctrine. That hitches a political movement that would be A) of real value and service, B) nation changing and C) unbeatable. Forget old ideological cores, special interests and old bases. Listen to the people and respond. That is true political leadership.<br />Tom Cochrunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046822056852446079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274757246538504796.post-19610342722863527502016-11-12T17:09:37.827-08:002016-11-12T17:09:37.827-08:00Some good points made above.

A year or two ago I would have offered what I thought valid, experienced advise. Now, I don't know. <br />59 plus million people voted for this person. Over that voted against. It appears H. had over 600,000 voters more than D. Doesn't mean anything, under the current system. <br />We are divided in a way that matches 1860. Communication, infrastructure, etc ensures we won't have a civil war, not with fire and brimstone. <br />What we do have is two people, divided. So different. <br />A confession: I can't say I fear for this country, because I don't really care about this country. If the state of Oregon was a country, I'd be fine with it. Grew up there, ancestors back a hundred plus years there, fine. But do I 'love' it? It's boundry, the Columbia, the Snake to the east, does this stop where I care or 'love' country? <br />No. <br />It'd be nice to see us come together as a people, that was something others would emulate, that did good in the world. I don't expect that under Trump. <br />I don't believe in American 'exceptionalism', that we are something special, that without us the world would go into chaos. <br />I think we're another country, among thousands, that have lasted around 300 years, the historical average, then changed to something else. <br />Might be better or worse. Under Trump, it'll be worse. <br />I do worry about a nation in decline that has nuclear weapons. <br />Should Fish Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13038376492887695725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274757246538504796.post-72710781556175715552016-11-12T16:08:56.440-08:002016-11-12T16:08:56.440-08:00Political skulduggery played a significant role. ...Political skulduggery played a significant role.
